70 E 96Th St

A 16-story, full-service cooperative built in 1929 and designed by Rosario Candela, this prewar residence occupies a prime Carnegie Hill block between Park and Madison Avenues. The building’s masonry façade and classic setbacks reflect traditional Manhattan prewar proportions; interiors emphasize high ceilings, hardwood floors, crown moldings and other period details. Apartments are configured as larger family homes—classic 7s, sixes and three-bedroom layouts—often with formal foyers, separate dining rooms, eat-in kitchens, dens or staff rooms, decorative or wood-burning fireplaces, abundant built-in bookcases and generous closets. Common building services include a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, resident manager, porters and handymen. Building amenities in the basement and service areas provide practical conveniences: private storage bins assigned to units, a central laundry room, bike storage and a package room. The co-op is pet-friendly, allows up to 60% financing, and carries a modest flip tax. Located one block from Central Park and Museum Mile, residents have immediate access to cultural institutions, green space, schools, neighborhood shops, and multiple transit options.
