About This Property
Unmatched Location. Steps from Central Park.
A New Opportunity at $2,750,000. This elegant two-bedroom, two-bath residence at The Carlton House offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy refined Upper East Side living, distinguished white-glove service, and a premier location just steps from Central Park.
Spanning approximately 1,193 square feet, this beautifully appointed home combines timeless elegance, thoughtful design, and exceptional tranquility. With predominantly east and south exposures, the residence enjoys a comfortable level of natural light and a quiet, private setting away from the street, offering a peaceful retreat from the energy of Manhattan.
A gracious marble entry gallery opens to an expansive 21-foot great room, featuring elegant beamed ceilings and oversized casement windows. The chef's kitchen features stone countertops, custom white lacquer cabinetry, premium Miele appliances, a Sub-Zero wine cooler, a five-burner gas cooktop with pot filler, and a full-size in-unit Miele washer and dryer.
The desirable split-bedroom layout provides excellent separation between the spacious primary suite and the second bedroom. The primary suite features custom closets, including an oversized walk-in, and a luxurious five-fixture marble bath with radiant heated floors, dual vanities, a deep soaking tub, and a separate glass-enclosed shower. Privately positioned on the opposite side of the residence, the generously sized second bedroom is complemented by a beautifully finished second marble bath.
The Carlton House is an exclusive boutique residence distinguished by its intimate residential atmosphere and exceptional white-glove service. Residents enjoy a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a 65-foot indoor heated swimming pool, a steam room, a game room, bike storage, private storage, and refrigerated storage.
Perfectly situated steps from Central Park and moments from Madison Avenue's premier boutiques, acclaimed restaurants, luxury hotels, and cultural destinations, this residence enjoys a coveted address in one of Manhattan's most distinguished neighborhoods-an exceptional setting for sophisticated Upper East Side living.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales LLC.
The great room runs 21 feet and has beamed ceilings and oversized casement windows, so it reads as a room of real size rather than a passage. The listing says the home faces mainly east and south and gets a comfortable amount of natural light.
The kitchen has stone countertops, custom white lacquer cabinetry and Miele appliances, plus a Sub-Zero wine cooler and a five-burner gas cooktop with a pot filler. A pot filler over a gas range is the kind of detail you'll use every time you cook, and the full-size Miele washer and dryer are in the unit too.
The bedrooms are split, so the primary suite and the second bedroom sit on opposite sides of the home. That gives each room its own privacy. The primary suite has an oversized walk-in closet and a five-fixture marble bath with radiant heated floors, a deep soaking tub and a separate glass-enclosed shower. The second bedroom has its own marble bath.
The building has a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a 65-foot indoor heated pool, a steam room, a game room, a fitness center, a spa, a roof deck, bike storage, private storage and refrigerated storage. Pets are allowed.
The south exposure can get about 10 hours of direct sun in spring and fall and about 8.5 hours in winter, based on an open horizon, though nearby buildings can block some of it. Central Park is about 2 minutes away on foot, and the 5 Av/59 St station for the N, R and W is about 4 minutes.
