70 E 96Th St

Built in 1929 and designed by Rosario Candela, this 16-story prewar cooperative on East 96th Street in Carnegie Hill contains just 23 residences, mostly three-bedroom layouts created from classic Candela floorplans. The façade and lobby preserve period character while interiors commonly showcase high beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, decorative fireplaces, and gracious entrance foyers. Apartments often include formal living and dining rooms, eat-in chef’s kitchens with high-end appliances, dens or maid rooms repurposed as offices, and in-unit laundry in renovated units; many homes retain original moldings and built-ins alongside modern mechanical upgrades. Building services are full-service: 24-hour doorman, resident manager/superintendent, multiple porters, package room, and a central laundry. Shared conveniences include a bicycle room and individual basement storage bins that transfer with apartments. The cooperative is pet friendly, permits up to 60% financing, and carries a modest flip tax. Located mid-block between Park and Madison Avenues, the property is a short walk to Central Park, Museum Mile, boutique shopping, top schools, and multiple subway and bus lines, offering a low-rise neighborhood feel with direct access to city cultural and recreational amenities.
