Description
Welcome to a rare architectural offering at The Morgan Studios — a distinguished 1928 pre-war cooperative set along one of the Upper East Side’s most coveted tree-lined blocks.
This exceptional duplex is defined by its dramatic double-height living room, where soaring 13-foot ceilings and oversized multi-pane windows create extraordinary scale and light. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the space, while elegant iron-railed stairs rise to the private level above — a striking architectural focal point equally suited to intimate evenings or grand entertaining.
The residence has undergone a comprehensive and thoughtful renovation, seamlessly blending historic character with modern comfort. The windowed kitchen has been redesigned with clean, tailored finishes that respect the building’s pre-war integrity. All windows have been replaced, and a newly installed HVAC system has been discreetly integrated through custom millwork, ensuring contemporary performance without disrupting architectural authenticity. The reconfigured floor plan enhances flow while preserving proportion and volume.
Upstairs, the bedroom level offers privacy and refinement, including a custom dressing area and a beautifully appointed windowed bath. Throughout the home, meticulous detailing and material selection reflect a carefully considered approach to both form and function.
The Morgan Studios is celebrated for its distinctive red-brick façade and signature double-height windows — hallmarks of its architectural pedigree. Residents enjoy full-service amenities including a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, elevator, private storage, and laundry. The boutique scale of the cooperative provides a sense of discretion and community rarely found in larger buildings.
Ideally positioned moments from Madison Avenue, Central Park, and the Upper East Side’s cultural institutions and dining destinations, this home offers both tranquility and proximity.
Pied-à-terres permitted with board approval. Pet friendly (one per residence). There is an annual capital assessment equal to one month’s maintenance.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe best thing about this school was leaving it. I can't say enough bad things about it. Bad behavior usually trickles down from the top, and this place is no exception. The administration is horrible, the teachers uncaring and mostly waiting to get married, and the predominantly affluent and white parents in a world of their own. DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS TO THIS SCHOOL. When my child entered middle school, she struggled to keep up with others because she learned almost nothing at 158, including how to SPELL. By the time she left middle school, she was at the top of her class and admitted to a SHS, in spite of the bad foundation of learning from 158. If they want to improve, they should start by getting rid of Dina and her minion, Janice.Parent Review1y ago - Jhs 167 Robert F Wagner

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 Review1mo ago - Eleanor Roosevelt High School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating Averagemy daughter was hospitalized after being bullied in this school. Support: non existent. Wasting of potential. I would rename it Karen Roosevelt. So much for meritocracy and public education. Shame on you all.Parent Review8mo ago
