12 E 97Th St

An 11-story, 1928 pre-war co-op in Manhattan’s Carnegie Hill, this full-service residence houses 47 primarily one-bedroom homes that retain classic architectural details. The exterior presents a traditional brick façade with a landscaped front garden and a small private courtyard at the rear; several units include small private outdoor spaces under 60 square feet. Inside, apartments commonly show pre-war features — hardwood floors, beamed ceilings, decorative moldings and built-in cabinetry — alongside modernized kitchens and renovated bathrooms. Common areas include a staffed lobby with 24-hour doormen, a live-in superintendent, and an elevator. Building services and amenities extend to on-site laundry, an assigned bike room and designated basement storage for each apartment, with accessible entry and a ramp at the front. The property is pet-friendly and considers pied-a-terre purchasers subject to board approval; it permits through-the-wall A/C and, in some cases, in-unit washers with approval. Practical building operations are reflected in periodic capital assessments and generally conservative maintenance structures. Located a half-block from Central Park and immediately adjacent to Museum Mile, the building sits within a quiet, museum-and-residential stretch of the Upper East Side near major transit, playgrounds, jogging paths and neighborhood institutions.
