16 E 98Th St

Built in 1925 and rising nine stories, this boutique Carnegie Hill co-op occupies a tree‑lined block just off Fifth Avenue near Central Park and Museum Mile. The pre‑war masonry facade and wrought‑iron entrance lead into an elegant marble lobby; an elevator serves the building’s residential floors. Apartments are primarily one‑ and two‑bedroom layouts that preserve period character—high beamed ceilings, crown and picture‑frame moldings, large sash windows and hardwood floors—while many homes have been tastefully renovated with modern kitchens and baths. Common areas are intimate rather than expansive: a rear communal garden/courtyard with seating and a grill, a bike room, central laundry, and individual basement storage bins. Onsite staff includes a live‑in superintendent and a full‑time porter; a voice/video intercom provides entry security. The building is pet friendly and allows pied-à‑terres, guarantors and co‑purchasing subject to board approval; subletting has conditional allowances. Practical extras include bicycle storage, private outdoor spaces under 60 sq ft for some units, and occasional ground‑floor commercial/office flexibility with private entry. Its Carnegie Hill address places residents steps from cultural institutions, hospitals, neighborhood schools, restaurants and multiple transit options.
