From the original listing · Realtor.comShowHide
Spacious, well-laid-out L-shaped alcove studio at One Carnegie Hill with lots of windows, great light, excellent closet space, and a washer/dryer in the unit. The sleeping alcove leaves plenty of room for a separate living and dining area. A very well-proportioned apartment with a full-size kitchen and bathroom, rarely seen in a studio. The apartment is in excellent condition and well priced. Full-time doorman/concierge and a highly attentive staff. Large, fully equipped gym (no gym fee) with state-of-the-art equipment, an indoor pool, locker rooms with saunas, a Pilates room, and an aerobics studio, plus daily group classes. A beautiful south-facing, landscaped roof deck and a rooftop party room with its own terrace that can be reserved for special events. An additional outdoor garden on the 3rd floor has BBQ areas that can be reserved. Outdoor playground and indoor playroom. Business center and pet spa on site, plus a parking garage. All of this is one block from the 6 train and right across the street from the Q at 96th Street (Second Avenue Subway), and a short walk to the Whole Foods at 87th and Third, along with plenty of restaurants and supermarkets. A great place to live. Come see for yourself. Easy application!
