As you walk down this hallway you pass two bedrooms and a full windowed bathroom. Upon turning the corner into the living space, you pass a separate windowed kitchen with granite countertops, a third, smaller bedroom, a half windowed bathroom with a stackable washer/dryer, a large living room and separate formal dining room. The common spaces face west over Madison Avenue and have fantastic natural light. This is the perfect entertainer’s home featuring amazing prewar details in the floors and moldings. This apartment comes with a large storage cage in the basement down the hall from the common laundry room. This boutique elevator building is over 100 years old and retains the rich details from the turn of the 20th century. Located just one block from Central Park, the reservoir and great restaurants, with super easy access to the subway and the crosstown bus, situated in prime Carnegie Hill – this is a fantastic place to call home!

In addition to the rent there is a one time fee to run a credit check at $20 per person, and if you have a dog, a $50/per dog/per month fee.
