Property Description
Step into timeless sophistication in this reimagined Rosario Candela masterpiece—now offered at a compelling new price. Perfectly positioned just off Central Park on the edge of Manhattan's storied Gold Coast, this meticulously renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence blends historic grandeur with modern luxury in one of the city's most iconic prewar cooperatives.
A gracious sunlit gallery welcomes you into the home, unfolding into an expansive 21-foot living room with soaring ceilings, intricate moldings, and oversized windows that flood the space with natural light. A working wood-burning fireplace anchors the room, setting the tone for cozy evenings or elegant entertaining.
Beyond, a refined formal dining room sets the stage for everything from festive gatherings to intimate dinners, flowing seamlessly into a chef's dream kitchen. Thoughtfully redesigned with Poggenpohl cabinetry and premium finishes, the eat-in kitchen features brand-new stone flooring, Dornbracht fixtures, and top-of-the-line appliances: a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf 36" dual fuel range with grill and oven, vented Thermador hood, Miele dishwasher, Sub-Zero wine fridge, and a built-in banquette with hidden storage.
The sun-splashed primary suite offers tranquility and comfort, complete with ample closets, dual-zone climate control, and a spa-quality en-suite bath clad in Waterworks tile, marble flooring, and Barber Wilsons fixtures. Two additional oversized bedrooms provide versatility and space, sharing a beautifully appointed second bath with high-end finishes and luxurious wool carpeting underfoot.
Throughout the home, thoughtful upgrades elevate the living experience: high ceilings, newly refinished hardwood floors, custom millwork, bespoke cabinetry, and abundant storage—including a dedicated storage unit that transfers with the apartment. A full-size, in-unit washer/dryer and high-efficiency A/C units add modern convenience to this exquisite home.
Built in 1928 by Rosario Candela, 8 East 96th Street remains one of Carnegie Hill's architectural jewels. This well-maintained, pet-friendly cooperative offers attentive staff, a live-in resident manager, private storage, bike room, and permits 50% financing. The recently renovated hallways—with new terrazzo flooring, designer wallpaper, and fresh paint—create a warm and sophisticated welcome.
Moments from Central Park, Museum Mile, elite private schools, and some of the city's finest dining and shopping destinations, this home offers rare access to the best of Manhattan living.
