The private elevator landing opens to the grand foyer of this elegant nine room home. The stately south facing living room has a wood-burning fireplace that offers multiple seating areas, and it opens to the gracious formal dining room that can easily seat 14. There are four big bedrooms but one is currently used as a library with wood paneling, tree-top views, and a dry bar. The library shares a full bathroom with one of the three sunny bedrooms, and the fourth bedroom has an original ensuite bathroom, built-in desks, and faces West to Park Avenue. The primary is dreamy with its two beautiful exposures, large closets, and renovated marble windowed ensuite bathroom.
Two of the staff rooms were combined to create a den in the kitchen area that also has a powder room and washer/dryer. You could reinstate one of the staff rooms because the windowed kitchen is really large, with lots of cabinets and counterspace and space for a small table.
Additional features are soaring 10ft ceilings, lovely herringbone and parquet floors, three-and-a-half bathrooms, through wall a/c, and central air is allowed with proper approval.
1125 Park Avenue is a stunning pet-friendly prewar co-op with doormen, a beautiful lobby, gym, basketball court, private wine cellars and storage bins, a bike room, and a fabulous resident manager. MAX 50% financing allowed.
Quick Profile
Carnegie Hill is a small neighborhood at the northern tip of the Upper East Side that borders Central Park. It is steeped in history, great wealth, architecture and culture. It is known for its world-class museums and its rows of historic mansions. Nothing much changes here as the entire area is landmarked, preventing the proliferation of high-rise developments. Thus the buildings stay a human scale, the sky is aplenty and the neighborhood kind of feels like a small town to its long time residents.
The name Carnegie Hill is derived from the industrial magnate Andrew Carnegie, when Carnegie decided to build himself a mansion at 91st Street and Fifth Avenue….
Carnegie Hill is a family neighborhood with old fashioned upper crust money. The mid-rise co-ops that line the avenues are among the most prestigious addresses in the city. The avenues are lined with small restaurants, boutique shops
The residential towers that have proliferated on the eastside of Third Avenue in the East 90s simply do not exist between Lexington and Fifth.
