Description
One of Carnegie Hill’s most storied and rare 40-foot-wide mansions, 12 East 94th Street is a singular urban residence. This 15,235-square-foot, five-story landmark possesses extraordinary provenance, architectural distinction, and cultural gravity. Originally designed by A. B. Ogden & Son for developer John H. Gray as part of a distinguished row of brownstone-faced houses, 12 East 94th Street was subsequently renovated and reimagined in its entirety by Rafael Viñoly
— elevating every detail to museum quality. The five-bedroom home’s renovation marries the gravity of the original 19th-century townhouse with a sculptural modernism grounded by an iconic curved central stairwell and garden curtain wall — the latter a defining gesture of transparency rare on the Upper East Side — a unique oasis in the heart of the city.
The first floor of the house served as the home of Salon 94, the contemporary art gallery founded by Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn, lending the residence cultural biography. The Viñoly renovation was conceived to accommodate both the private and the monumental — a distinction that informs every room.
Entry is announced by an impressive burr walnut veneer door of commanding scale and craftsmanship. Beyond it, the first floor unfolds as a dedicated salon — with an adjoining library office, powder room, and generous walk-in coat closet. The vast living room gallery, with Viñoly’s signature curved glass facade, gives way to a tranquil modern garden below, while a self-contained guest suite with kitchenette offers complete privacy.
At the heart of the residence rises Viñoly’s defining gesture: a continuous sculptural staircase clad in burr walnut veneer — matching the entry door in a considered act of material continuity — spiraling upward through all four floors to a crowning skylight that floods the interior with natural light.
On the parlor level, an expansive formal living room with elegant curved ceilings of exceptional height, designed for the display of art, and a dining room seating 16. Both rooms have working wood-burning fireplaces and are separated by an elegant landing and large pocket doors — a gracious arrangement designed for grand entertaining and equally suited to an intimate evening at home. The windowed eat-in chef’s kitchen features custom banquette seating, a full suite of Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and a bespoke floor-to-ceiling climate-controlled wine cellar — a rarity of both design and function.
Family bedrooms are gathered on the third floor. An expansive primary suite overlooks the garden, centered on a grand walk-in closet and a large windowed ensuite with a double shower
and soaking tub. Separated by a landing, two additional large bedrooms — each with ample closet space and a private ensuite bath — complete this level with quiet comfort and discretion.
The top floor offers remarkable versatility: a fitness room, a yoga room, a fourth bedroom with ensuite, an immersive media room, and a generous study that crowns the residence in scholarly calm. Proportions and light on this level rival the floors below — a rare achievement in townhouse architecture. The grand finale is a phenomenal private rooftop terrace. With open sky above Carnegie Hill, it is among the most coveted private outdoor spaces on the Upper East Side. The basement contains a fully equipped laundry room and a live-in staff apartment.
12 East 94th Street is not merely a residence — it is an argument for how one should live. This is a co-exclusive with Compass.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is absolutely horrible there are fights everyday and no one gets suspended but people get suspended for skipping afterschool that is optional and teachers don’t care about the students, the education sucks the environment sucks and there is so much harassment and bullying and the dean doesn’t do anything to prevent it honestly the worst decision of my life putting this school on my list. Also if your new there gonna try to make it all fun but once you reach 7th grade its hell.Student Review3mo ago - Ps 198 Isador E Ida Straus

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageFrom the principal to the teachers, this school has truly been a safe haven for my child. After transferring him from a charter school where we had a terrible experience, finding this school felt like a saving grace. Every concern is addressed promptly, the staff is always respectful, and I never have to worry about whether my son is safe or being properly cared for.The academics are also strong! My son is in fourth grade and has been here since third. He consistently feels confident in what he’s learning, and that peace of mind as a parent is priceless. We genuinely wish he didn’t have to graduate next year, because we know we won’t find the same level of care, support, and excellence in middle school. This school has set the bar high, and we are beyond grateful for everything it’s given our family.Parent Review1y ago - High School for Climate Justice (The)

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageLs3 is although a small high school but it comes with great opportunities. The school offers AP classes on top of the traditional course subjects such as AP Bio and AP Statistics. The school has great arts programs such as choir,art and band all these classes offers advanced classes where students showcase their talent combined with classroom techniques at private shows and competitions. It also has many internship programs and career affiliations like natural museum of American history and Mount Sinai they also offer college credit classes at hunter college. Personally I’ve participated in some programs such as the mount sieni programs and summer internships at research labs and I’m not sure many schools would offer such the teachers are also one of the many enjoyable aspects the school offers. The teachers are not only concerned with the numbers the student present but they get to know each student as an individual and carter to them on the level suited for the student they also serve as adults any student can go and talk to bring it personal or academic.Student Review7y ago
