Just off Central Park in sought-after Carnegie Hill, this expansive five-room residence offers a rare opportunity to create a truly bespoke home in one of Manhattan’s finest neighborhoods. Rich in original architectural detail, this gracious two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment combines grand proportions and turn-of-the-century sophistication with exceptional flexibility for modern living.
Abundant natural light streams through oversized east-facing windows, highlighting 9’ 7” beamed ceilings, elegant crown moldings, open-city views, and timeless pre-war details. A gracious foyer leads to an impressive great room anchored by a decorative fireplace. The spacious eat-in kitchen offers ample room to create a culinary centerpiece and gathering space. The primary suite features double exposures and a private ensuite bath, complemented by a well-proportioned second bedroom and a second full bathroom. Modern conveniences are already in place, including an in-unit washer/dryer, while the building permits the installation of central air conditioning—providing an opportunity to bring contemporary comfort to this classic home.
Designed by the renowned architectural firm Clinton & Russell, The Queenston is an established cooperative with a reasonable board. Shareholders enjoy the services of a resident manager, part-time doorman (M-F 7AM-10PM/Sat-Sun 8AM-11PM), private storage, central laundry, and a bike room. The building is pet-friendly and permits up to 75% financing. Moments from Central Park, Museum Mile, Mount Sinai, famed boutiques, acclaimed restaurants, charming cafés, and some of Manhattan’s most prestigious schools, this is a rare opportunity to create a distinctive residence in a neighborhood celebrated for its enduring elegance and exceptional quality of life.
