Property Description for 161 East 88th Street, 2-D

OPEN HOUSE Monday, 10/26 4:30pm-5:30pm will be the first showing.

Oversized prewar one-bedroom with a separate dining area. You come in through an incredibly spacious entry foyer that leads to a sunken living room with herringbone parquet floors and crown moldings.

The galley kitchen has white shaker cabinets with plenty of storage, a four-burner gas range and an over-the-range microwave. A bonus feature of this apartment is the sizable windowed dining area off the kitchen.

The windowed bathroom has tile in warm stone tones, a pedestal sink and a full tub and shower.

This 42-unit prewar Art Deco co-op has an elevator, a live-in super and a central laundry room. It's ideally located in Carnegie Hill: the 4/5/6 trains at 86th Street are around the corner, and the Q is also nearby. The neighborhood is full of shopping and restaurants, including Whole Foods and Fairway, and Central Park is just a few blocks away.

Cats permitted. This is a non-smoking apartment.

This is a sponsor unit, so no co-op board approval is necessary.

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.
