Just off Central Park. Fully Renovated. Move-In Ready — Now Offered at an Exceptional New Price. Step into timeless sophistication in this reimagined Rosario Candela masterpiece—now available at a compelling new price, presenting one of the best values just off Central Park. Perfectly positioned 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 leads into an expansive 21-foot living room featuring soaring ceilings, intricate moldings, oversized windows, and a working wood-burning fireplace—an inviting centerpiece for both elegant entertaining and everyday living. The formal dining room provides a refined setting for gatherings of any size and flows seamlessly into a newly reimagined chef’s kitchen. Outfitted with Poggenpohl cabinetry and premium finishes, the eat-in kitchen showcases brand-new stone flooring, Dornbracht fixtures, and top-tier appliances: Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf 36" dual fuel range with grill and oven, vented Thermador hood that exhausts to the outside, Miele dishwasher, Sub-Zero wine fridge, and a custom built-in banquette with concealed storage. The sun-splashed primary suite serves as a serene retreat, offering sufficient, thoughtfully designed closet space, dual-zone climate control, and a spa-caliber en-suite bath adorned with Waterworks tile, marble flooring, and Barber Wilsons fixtures. Two oversized secondary bedrooms provide exceptional flexibility and share a beautifully appointed second bath with high-end finishes. All bedrooms feature luxurious wool carpeting for added comfort and warmth. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered: high ceilings, newly refinished hardwood floors, custom millwork, bespoke cabinetry, abundant storage throughout the home, and a dedicated private storage unit that conveys with the apartment. Modern conveniences include a full-size in-unit washer/dryer with a gas dryer and high-efficiency A/C units in every room. Built in 1928 by the legendary Rosario Candela, 8 East 96th Street stands as one of Carnegie Hill’s architectural gems. This well-maintained, pet-friendly cooperative features attentive staff, a live-in resident manager, private storage, a bike room, and permits 50% financing. The 7th-floor hallway—servicing this apartment—was recently renovated with new terrazzo flooring, designer wallpaper, and fresh paint, offering a warm and elegant arrival experience directly outside the residence. Moments from Central Park, Museum Mile, distinguished private schools, and top dining and shopping, this residence pairs classic prewar sophistication with exceptional value—an opportunity rarely available at this new price point.
