Experience the elegance and spaciousness of this unique 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath duplex, the only one of its kind currently on the market in Carnegie Hill. This rarely available, house-like six-room prewar residence on Madison Avenue offers an impressive living experience, with meticulous attention to detail showcasing exceptional craftsmanship throughout. The home features 12 west-facing double-pane windows that bathe the 8th and 9th floors in beautiful afternoon sunshine and pleasant indirect light all day. On the first level, you'll find a suburban-sized living room and formal dining room, both featuring oak wood flooring with a decorative border around the perimeter. The 19 foot windowed eat-in kitchen is equipped with high-quality stainless steel Bosch and Fisher & Paykel appliances, along with a washer/dryer for your convenience. This efficient space is completed with cherry wood cabinetry and granite countertops, while a 12 foot pantry offers ample storage and includes a second sink for added convenience. Ascending to the next level, you'll encounter a hand-crafted wrought-iron staircase adorned with 24 kt gold leaf finishes, inspired by the staircase in the Italian ambassador’s residence in London. Two of the three bathrooms have been renovated with Bresia marble, while the third windowed bath retains its original basket-weave design floor and features a newly replaced soaking tub, designed for a relaxing and therapeutic experience. Also on the second floor are two generously sized bedrooms, along with a versatile third space that can serve as a comfortable guest room, office, or den and complete with a conveniently installed sink. Designed by Thomas W. Lamb, renowned for his theater designs in New York City, 49 East 96th Street is a 19-story Art Deco apartment building that beautifully captures the essence of its era with distinctive exterior details and a circular lobby. An interesting tidbit: Albert Barr, the founding director of the Museum of Modern Art, was an original tenant, residing in a 3 bedroom unit during the 1930s. This elegant full-service apartment house is located in the residential Carnegie Hill neighborhood, home to the city's highest concentration of major museums and prestigious private and public schools. The building offers an exercise room, bike and storage facilities, along with an exceptional staff and live-in superintendent. This financially sound co-op is one block from Central Park, conveniently close to public transportation, and surrounded by charming dining options. Exciting news, Danny Meyers' Daily Provisions cafe and sandwich shop now occupies the corner commercial space in the building! Pets and co-purchasing are allowed, though pied-à-terres are not permitted.
