Property Description for 19 East 88th Street, 15-G

Located in one of Carnegie Hill's most iconic Art Deco buildings, this stunning, large, 5-room apartment is flooded with sunlight and has open views of Central Park from every room. One enters the apartment through a foyer leading into a striking open-plan living room/dining room with 11-foot ceilings, an unusual corner wood burning fireplace and access to a fully renovated kitchen and a 26-foot long terrace facing Madison Avenue. Also accessed through the foyer are the two large, high-ceilinged, bedrooms. The primary bedroom faces north and west, has a small dressing room, en suite bath, and a narrow terrace with direct park views. The second bedroom, now used as a study, is larger in size than the primary one. It has built-in bookshelves, a large window with northern views, three closets and an adjacent bathroom that also serves as the powder room for the apartment. This unusually attractive and charming property, with generously scaled rooms, high ceilings, and large windows with panoramic views, shows beautifully throughout the day and night. Truly a memorable apartment! 19 East 88th Street was built in 1936 by the architect William M. Downing. Located in the heart of Carnegie Hill, near the Guggenheim Museum, Central Park, and the reservoir, it has one of the most beautiful Art Deco lobbies in the city. The building is fully staffed, has a resident manager and a landscaped roof deck for the use of the tenants. Laundry and storage in the basement. Building has a newly renovated gym. Pets permitted. Monthly maintenance is $5,122 and 50% financing is permitted. There is a flip tax of 2% payable by the buyer, as well as a monthly assessment of $841.30 until October, 2027.

Carnegie Hill | Manhattan

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.
