12 E 88Th St

Tucked into Carnegie Hill on East 88th Street, this 13-story pre‑war condominium was completed in 1931 and reimagines classic Rosario Candela proportions for modern living. The building contains 26 full‑floor and multi‑bedroom residences—primarily two, four and five‑bedroom layouts—many featuring formal entry foyers, separate dining rooms, expansive living rooms, and serviceable eat‑in chef kitchens. Interiors emphasize traditional details updated with contemporary finishes: wide plank oak floors, recessed lighting, built‑in millwork, walk‑in closets, soaking tubs and integrated sound systems. Private outdoor options include small balconies and landscaped courtyard-facing terraces for selected units. Common spaces are composed and domestic in scale: a staffed 24‑hour doorman/concierge desk, a residents’ lounge with catering kitchen and billiards, an enclosed playroom opening to the planted courtyard, and a fitness center. Storage and bicycle rooms are available; parking is not onsite. The building occupies a landmarked block adjacent to the Guggenheim and half a block from Central Park, placing it within top cultural institutions, select private schools, and the Upper East Side’s refined retail and dining corridor. Pet policies and certain assessments vary by unit; several residences were sympathetically redesigned by Champalimaud, marrying historic architecture with high‑end modern systems and appliances.
