A truly rare opportunity awaits on the top floor of one of Carnegie Hill's most distinguished turn-of-the-century landmarked co-ops, just off Fifth Avenue and moments from Central Park. This pristine, sprawling 5-bedroom, 5.5-bath home has been meticulously renovated and artfully reimagined by acclaimed architect John B. Murray. The residence beautifully balances pre-war grandeur with modern comfort, executed with exceptional craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and enduring elegance. A gracious entry gallery opens to a magnificent living room with soaring 10'9" ceilings, intricate crown moldings, a stately gas fireplace, and leafy views over the double-wide street lined with historic buildings. Elegant French doors lead to an expansive formal dining room adorned with custom wall treatments, antiqued mirrors, and a coffered ceiling-an extraordinary setting for entertaining. A richly paneled library with custom millwork offers flexibility as a study, home office, or intimate sitting room, while a refined powder room completes the public entertaining spaces. At the heart of the home, a dramatic skylight crowns the oversized eat-in kitchen, flooding the space with natural light. This masterful kitchen features two windows, marble countertops, extensive custom cabinetry, and premium appliances, including a Thermador cooktop and double ovens, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine cooler, and a Miele dishwasher. A large center island and built-in banquette seating for eight create a warm, inviting gathering space for casual breakfasts to celebratory dinners. The thoughtfully designed layout is divided into two private wings. The expansive primary suite is a quiet sanctuary, offering two luxurious marble bathrooms - one with a soaking tub and glass-enclosed shower, and the other with a steam shower - along with a dressing room and a wall of custom closets. A separate bedroom corridor provides both privacy and flexibility, opening to a cozy 11'x 9' sitting area lit by another stunning skylight and nestled among four additional bright, generously proportioned bedrooms with open city views. Each enjoys easy access to beautifully appointed bathrooms with a blend of en-suite and shared layouts designed for flexibility. Every detail of this home reflects a comprehensive renovation including new plumbing and electrical, new windows, multi-zone central air and heating, a Sonos sound system, and a vented laundry room. Wide-plank hardwood floors, abundant storage, and remarkably low maintenance further distinguish this exceptional home. The Queenston is a landmarked 1903 cooperative designed by renowned architects Clinton & Russell (of The Apthorp fame). This boutique building offers a resident manager, part-time doorman, bike room, and private storage. Perfectly positioned near Central Park, world-class museums, top schools, and beloved Carnegie Hill dining, 16 East 96th Street represents classic Upper East Side living at its finest. Up to 75% financing permitted.
