• Elegant, Expansive and Full of Light: 14CD at Carnegie Tower

Residence 14CD was designed for relaxed elegance, equally suited to entertaining a crowd and to quiet nights at home. Fresh from a total renovation, this pristine eight-room, four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home on the 14th floor of Carnegie Tower faces south in every room, with sunlight from morning to evening and open city and skyline views across Carnegie Hill. A Lutron system controls the lighting and automated shades in every room, so the mood can shift from bright afternoon to soft evening at the touch of a button.

A gracious entryway sets the tone, with a coat closet and a powder room close at hand.

The kitchen gives a home chef everything they need: a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Viking dishwasher, a six-burner gas cooktop and a wall oven. A breakfast counter with seating opens to the living room, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. There is a separate breakfast nook with a built-in banquette beneath a north-facing window.

The dining area is generously scaled and sits beside a wet bar with a wine refrigerator and built-in storage, which makes dinner for twelve as easy as supper for two.

Custom millwork runs throughout the apartment, and storage is generous. Every closet has been custom outfitted, there is a walk-in pantry, and a dedicated laundry room holds a separate washer and dryer.

The primary wing is a private retreat, with two walk-in closets and two additional closets, all custom fitted. The windowed primary bath, which also has a north exposure, offers a freestanding soaking tub and a shower with a rainfall head and body sprays. Three more bedrooms, each with southern light, give room for guests, a home office or a library.

Carnegie Tower is a full-service cooperative with a full-time doorman, concierge and resident manager. Amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, a landscaped wraparound terrace on the fifth floor, an on-site garage with discounted parking for shareholders, a bike room and additional storage, subject to availability. The building has recently renovated its hallways, modernized its elevators and introduced Smart Latch phone-based entry, and its lobby and entrance are now being redesigned, all funded from the capital reserve. Pieds-à-terre and pets are welcome.

The location puts Carnegie Hill’s best at your door: Central Park, the Reservoir and Museum Mile to the west, the shops and cafés of Madison and Lexington Avenues, and the 4/5/6 and Q trains at 86th Street.
