A New Opportunity at $2,750,000. This elegant two-bedroom, two-bath residence at The Carlton House offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy refined Upper East Side living, distinguished white-glove service, and a premier location just steps from Central Park.

Spanning approximately 1,193 square feet, this beautifully appointed home combines timeless elegance, thoughtful design, and exceptional tranquility. With predominantly east and south exposures, the residence enjoys a comfortable level of natural light and a quiet, private setting away from the street, offering a peaceful retreat from the energy of Manhattan.

The desirable split-bedroom layout provides excellent separation between the spacious primary suite and the second bedroom. The primary suite features custom closets, including an oversized walk-in, and a luxurious five-fixture marble bath with radiant heated floors, dual vanities, a deep soaking tub, and a separate glass-enclosed shower. Privately positioned on the opposite side of the residence, the generously sized second bedroom is complemented by a beautifully finished second marble bath.

The Carlton House is an exclusive boutique residence distinguished by its intimate residential atmosphere and exceptional white-glove service. Residents enjoy a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a 65-foot indoor heated swimming pool, a steam room, a game room, bike storage, private storage, and refrigerated storage.

Perfectly situated steps from Central Park and moments from Madison Avenue's premier boutiques, acclaimed restaurants, luxury hotels, and cultural destinations, this residence enjoys a coveted address in one of Manhattan's most distinguished neighborhoods-an exceptional setting for sophisticated Upper East Side living.
