From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Situated in the heart of Carnegie Hill, one block from Central Park, this gracious prewar classic 8 residence offers generous proportions, abundant natural light, and a remarkably flexible floor plan. Currently configured with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, the apartment provides an elegant framework for everyday living and entertaining. The south-facing living room and primary bedroom enjoy wonderful natural light, while classic prewar details, including a wood-burning fireplace, original wood floors, high ceilings, and gracious room proportions, give the home character and scale. The expansive kitchen and pantry area, along with two intact staff rooms, present an exceptional opportunity to create a substantial eat-in kitchen and gathering space.
