Description

Full Floor Grandeur, Simplex Ease

Rising above Carnegie Hill in the heart of the Upper East Side, this spectacular full-floor residence meaningfully advances condominium living. One of three lavishly and newly available renovated sponsor listings, this home pairs ideal proportions and privacy with the light, security, and effortless maintenance of a top-tier condominium.

Four Pillars

Space, Practically Configured
Experience the serenity of a true full-floor retreat. Occupying the building's entire footprint, this residence offers four exposures, with North and South as the primary axes, flooding the home with light and providing a sense of scale uncommon across a single-level Manhattan residence. Two private balconies maintain a connection between the indoors and the outdoors, while inside marble master and secondary bathrooms feature brushed nickel hardware, radiant heated floors, and steam showers.

Balance and Symmetry
The floor plan embodies functional elegance. At one end of the home, the primary suite serves as a quiet sanctuary, complete with a walk-in closet that doubles as an upscale dressing room and a spa-like en suite bath. Spanning the southern half of the plan, four additional bedrooms offer comfort and privacy. The social center of the home, a formal dining room, grand living room, and cozy library or media room, stretch gracefully across the building's width, illuminated by the soft, consistent glow of northern light.

The Finishes
The interior is a masterclass in execution, rivaling its new development peers but at a more attractive valuation. A modest gallery reveals the oak floors and divides the public rooms from the private rooms without wasting space. A gorgeous Smallbone eat-in kitchen is outfitted with brushed nickel hardware, a 60-in refrigerator, professional grade cook-top, and wine storage. Interior cabinet lights add a touch of elegance and energy. Natural light streams through its sizeable window. At the opposite side, a timeless wet bar, also designed and installed by Smallbone, is tucked neatly into the library/media room, obviates a trip to the kitchen for refreshments.

Effortless Ownership
A private and practical experience without the burden. Arrival is marked by the building's understated semi-circular cobblestone drive, initiating a decompression that begins before one enters the lobby. The building is fully staffed, ensuring that sidewalk maintenance, trash, and snow removal are handled seamlessly, allowing an owner to enjoy the benefits of a large-scale home without the logistical overhead. With a parking garage directly across the street, Morton Williams around the corner on Madison, and Central Park so close, this profile stands apart.

A Building Reimagined
60 East 88th Street is currently undergoing transformative capital improvements. Future owners will enjoy two brand-new, high-speed elevators, a stunningly redesigned lobby, new canopy, and fully renovated private floor landings. This building overhaul, combined with a turnkey, fully finished product delivered at closing, marks an extraordinary purchasing opportunity in one of Manhattan's most sought-after locations. Bypass the cost, materials, labor, and timing risks that have become so common and so enervating when renovating. Begin moving happily forward today by calling us for a private appointment.
