50 E 77Th St

The Carlyle House is a 15-story prewar cooperative completed in 1930 and designed in complementary Art Deco style to the adjacent Carlyle Hotel. Units are predominantly two- and three-bedroom layouts with grand prewar proportions: high ceilings, formal entry galleries, separate dining rooms, large living rooms often with wood-burning fireplaces, expansive kitchens with butler’s pantries, staff/maid rooms, and generous built-ins and walk-in closets. Many apartments retain period details such as herringbone or wide-plank floors, decorative moldings, and French-pane casement windows; numerous residences have been meticulously renovated with modern kitchens and baths while preserving original scale. Common areas and services reflect white-glove living: a staffed lobby with 24-hour doormen, live-in superintendent, private elevator landings for select units, and low maintenance supported by long-term commercial leases. Residents enjoy private access to the Carlyle Hotel through a separate lobby door, which provides optional use of the hotel’s fitness center, spa, dining rooms, room service, salon, and parking facilities on a pay-per-use basis. Pets and pied-a-terres are permitted with board approval; coop rules include a 2% flip tax on transfers. The building fronts Madison Avenue near East 77th Street, one block from Central Park amid Upper East Side galleries, museums, boutiques, and fine dining.
