Description
The epitome of classic living in the heart of Carnegie Hill, Apartment 9E at 40 East 88th Street is a light filled corner Classic 6 home awaiting its new owner to bring their designer and uncover this gem. Fresh off a makeover, this estate sale's preserved pre-war details are on full display: refinished oak floors in a herringbone pattern, a wood-burning fireplace, and the thoughtful separation of space accompanied by generously proportioned rooms.
The oversized foyer welcomes you into Apartment 9E, where you will find the original layout has been thoughtfully preserved. Primary and secondary bedrooms are concentrated on the north side of the apartment, adjacent to the living room, while the spacious kitchen plus breakfast room, formal dining room, and a maid's room turned third bedroom with its own ensuite bathroom rests on the southeast side of the apartment. 16 oversized windows keep this home sun-flooded throughout the day, further enhanced by triple exposures and 9-foot ceilings.
Features of this apartment include a comfortably-sized breakfast room, a grand wood-burning fireplace and herringbone floors in the living room, a large formal dining room, and three bedrooms each with their own ensuite bathrooms. The primary bedroom includes an impressive walk-in dressing room separating the bedroom from the four-fixture bathroom. Additional upgrades prior to coming to market include wallpaper removal throughout the apartment and a skim-coat treatment, laminate floors replaced with wood floors where necessary and all floors have been sanded and re-stained. The electrical panel has also been replaced and upgraded.

Blake Elementary in addition to a number of other excellent educational institutions.
