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.
