Residence 7C at 8 East 96th Street is a beautifully proportioned Classic Seven in the heart of Carnegie Hill, just moments from Fifth Avenue and Central Park. Spanning approximately 1,800 square feet, this refined prewar home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a formal dining room, and a spacious eat-in kitchen with a breakfast room and built-in banquette.

Three bedrooms are set within a private wing, offering separation from the main living spaces. Rich in pre-war detail, the residence is defined by soaring 9’ ceilings, beautifully scaled rooms, abundant closet space, and oak hardwood floors throughout. The home is exceptionally quiet and is in pristine, turkey condition. 8 East 96th Street is a distinguished Rosario Candela cooperative dating to 1928. Residents enjoy a full-time doorman, resident manager, storage, and bike room. Pet-friendly. Up to 50% financing permitted. 2% flip tax payable by buyer. This is classic Upper East Side living at its finest.
