Located on the 5th floor of a boutique Carnegie Hill condominium, this bright and airy 1 bed / 1 bath condo home offers something increasingly hard to find in Manhattan: privacy, outdoor space, and light from three exposures. With only one other residence on the floor, it has a quiet and private feel from the moment you arrive.

The heart of the apartment is the generously sized living room, with plenty of room for separate living and dining areas. A custom built-in home office provides a dedicated and thoughtfully designed workspace while blending seamlessly into the living area. The flexible layout also allows for the creation of a second bedroom without sacrificing the sense of space. Just off the living room is a large private balcony with wonderful open views, including a view of the East River. With plenty of room to sit, relax, and enjoy the outdoors, it is a true extension of the living space.

The bedroom easily accommodates a king-sized bed and offers excellent storage. Beautiful herringbone floors run throughout the apartment, along with generous closet space and a well-appointed bathroom featuring a walk-in shower and granite vanity. The kitchen is finished with granite countertops and includes a gas range and dishwasher.

The building offers elevator service, video entry, and a central laundry room, with the option to install a washer and dryer in the apartment. The Q train at 96th Street and Second Avenue is just one block away, putting the rest of Manhattan within easy reach. The neighborhood is filled with wonderful restaurants, cafés, and neighborhood favorites, along with great shopping and everyday conveniences, all just outside your door.

Whether you are looking for a full-time home, a pied-à-terre, or an investment, this is a wonderful opportunity to own a 5th-floor condominium with a large private balcony, tremendous light, and a flexible layout in Carnegie Hill.
