60 East 88th St. 7A

Believe it or not! The first and only owner has stayed in the apartment less than 10 days over the lifetime of ownership of 35+ years. This home is in immaculate and pristine original condition. Semiprivate landing, Apartment 7A is a large and gracious six-room home, located in prime Carnegie Hill featuring 1853 SF interior and 100 SF exterior space. This 3 bedroom 2.5 bathroom condo is marked by its pre-war design sensibilities, starting with a grand marble entry gallery that distinctly separates the living areas to the north from the sleeping quarters to the south.

The north-facing living room has excellent light with large windows and two Juliette balconies. The formal dining room has custom built-in cabinets and exposures north and east. The windowed eat-in kitchen features a custom built-in banquette, double oven, a 4 burner Thermador with a grille (very lightly used appliances), and a newer Sub Zero fridge. A powder room is located off the gallery.

The apartment’s southern wing houses three spacious, sunlit bedrooms with one currently serving as a wood-paneled library/den. The primary bedroom is exceptionally large and features a walk-in closet, a vanity area, custom built-ins, and a solarium. Its en-suite bathroom offers a stall shower, a sizeable jacuzzi tub, and a bidet. Other notable features include 8.5-foot ceilings with crown moldings, hardwood flooring throughout, herringbone-patterned floors in the living room, an in-unit washer/dryer, and generous closet space.

Built in 1987, 60 East 88th is a white glove boutique condo with 18 units, mostly with two apartments per floor. The 24 hr doorman bldg. features a circular driveway, a live-in Resident Manager, and bike storage. 1 1/2 blocks to Central Park, you are surrounded by terrific restaurants, great shopping and fabulous museums
