Located in the heart of Carnegie Hill in a boutique co-op between Madison Avenue and Park Avenue and less than two blocks from Central Park and Museum Mile, this big and bright, prewar 5-room home showcases a gracious and spacious layout with beautifully proportioned rooms that are great for entertaining as well as living. The three-bedroom floor plan offers flexibility and a great flow and scale with oversized windows, 9’-high ceilings, an open formal expanse and plenty of prewar charm throughout. Numerous windows provide great light and cross breeze and showcase lovely city and treetop views from both the formal expanse and the master bedroom. Both bathrooms and the kitchen were recently updated as well as new AC units, and the whole apartment was freshly painted. There are well-maintained hardwood floors throughout. The well-proportioned layout includes an open and expansive 23’ living room/formal dining room lined with three windows showcasing lovely, north-facing tree-top views and drawing in great natural light, a windowed eat-in kitchen, three bedrooms including a spacious and bright primary suite that is separate from the two additional bedrooms (or library/office) and the additional windowed bath. The windowed kitchen features room for a breakfast table/nook for casual dining and features subway tile backsplash and stainless-steel appliances including dishwasher.
