Description
Breathtakingly beautiful and sprawling 5-bedroom, 5.5-bath masterpiece on the top floor of an elegant turn-of-the-century Carnegie Hill cooperative, just off 5th Avenue and steps from Central Park. Replete with exquisite detailing and impeccably designed to capture the beauty and grace of this celebrated neighborhood, apartment 7BE has been flawlessly combined and reimaged by renowned architect John B. Murray. Seamlessly blending restored period details with every modern convenience, nothing has been overlooked in this meticulously reconstructed 3,700 square foot residence. The gracious entry gallery opens into the grand-scaled living room featuring soaring 10’9” ceilings, sunny cityscape views over double-wide tree lined 96th Street, magnificent crown moldings, ample space for multiple seating arrangements, and a stunning gas fireplace. Adjacent to the living room, separated by French doors and creating a wonderful enfilade of rooms, sits the fabulous dining room with custom wallpaper, antiqued mirrors, and coffered ceilings. The stately library, cloaked in handsome wood-paneling and custom millwork functions wonderfully as a media room, large office, or intimate gathering space. The chic powder room is discreetly tucked away just across the hall. Rounding out the public rooms is the expansive and well-appointed eat-in kitchen with a spectacular skylight drenching the kitchen in sunlight. Designed to maximize space and functionality, this masterful kitchen is a chef’s dream come true, offering an abundance of custom cabinetry, multiple prep spaces, marble countertops, and equipped with a suite of high-end appliances including Thermador cooktop and double ovens, Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine cooler, and Miele dishwasher. The center island and banquette seating for 8 make this an ideal space for all your social gatherings.
The private quarters are split into two wings, one housing the luxurious primary suite and the other with four additional bedrooms. The expansive primary suite is an urban sanctuary, boasting two spa-like marble bathrooms, one oversized with a soaking tub and separate glass stall shower, and the other with a steam shower. In additional to a wall of closets line is a lavish dressing room finished with custom built-ins. A second bedroom corridor offers both privacy and flexibility, opening to a cozy 11’ x 9’ sitting area lit by another stunning skylight and nestled among four additional bright and generously proportioned bedrooms, all with open city views. Two of the bedrooms are separated by pocket doors and share a cleverly designed marble bathroom with separate vanity, sink, and toilet on either side of a beautiful glass stall shower and opening both ensuite on one side and to the hall on the other. The fourth has a bathroom ensuite and the fifth bedroom occupies a dramatic corner at the end of the hall and utilizes an adjacent hall bathroom, making it perfect as a guest room or den.
The home’s gut renovation included the installation of all new systems such as plumbing, electric, new windows, multiple zone central A/C and heat, and Sonos sound system. Gorgeous hardwood floors, impressive closet space, and a large laundry room with washer and vented dryer complete this one-of-a-kind home. Enjoy enviably low monthly maintenance for an apartment of this size.
Designed in 1903 by Clinton and Russel, celebrated architects of the renown Apthorp, the landmarked Queenston is an elegant turn-of-the-century boutique cooperative nestled among the city’s best museums and private schools, and moments from the neighborhood’s charming restaurants and cafés. 16 East 96th has a resident manager, part-time doorman 7am to 10pm M-TH and 7am to 11pm on weekends, private storage, and bike room. 75% financing is permitted. Must be seen to be fully appreciated.

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 Review2mo 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
