About This Property
THE MOST MAJESTIC CENTRAL PARK & RESERVOIR VIEWS
SOARING SKYLINE, WATER & PARK VISTAS FROM HIGH-FLOOR CARNEGIE HILL HOME
DOUBLE-CORNER, TRIPLE EXPOSURE BALCONIED BEAUTY
"CONDO-LIKE" EXPERIENCE HERE: NO BOARD INTERVIEW - TRUSTS & LLCs & SUBLETTING ALLOWED
You can't stop staring.
It never gets old.
Every sunshiny morning, every cloudy day, every sunset evening, and every moonbeam night, something extraordinary happens. From all windows in all three directions of this double-corner home, rare vistas delight, soothe, and elevate. From the large private dining balcony, the spacious living room, the formal dining room, all three bedroom suites, and even the sizeable kitchen, this home is graced with some of NYC's most iconic, treasured views. Enrobed in the majesty of Manhattan's skyline and the splendor of Central Park and the jaw-dropping reservoir — sweeping all the way from downtown clear up to the GW Bridge — this feel-good home is a rare residential stand-out.
Coveted for its grand scale, its flexible floor plan (see alternate layout), and its world-class, postcard perfect views, the high-floor E-line homes are treasured and prized. The rooms are large, the layout works, and a big stretch-out life can happen here.
A gracious gallery hall brings you to a foyer/den that allows for a bonus seating area. Unfolding from here are the big, open-plan living/dining rooms, blessed by overscaled walls of windows with that light -- and those views. The private dining balcony offers a bonus seating and entertaining space with an al fresco opportunity to engage with the world-class vistas. The cook's kitchen is practical and easy, with ample stone counters and cabinets, and more of those views...
The bedroom suites are graciously independent of one another, large, and offer good closet space. The primary bedroom is served by an en suite bath and bright, open city-skyline views. Both big guest bedrooms are served by a full guest bath and impressive closets -- and even more impressive open views. There is a powder room, wood flooring underfoot, high ceilings above, built-ins, and central AC. The flexible floor plan welcomes your creativity, and a washer/dryer (with board approval) is a possibility. Everywhere you look there is light and loveliness.
This home enjoys a trophy perch in its supremely served, pet-friendly, user-friendly, relaxed building. Here, the staff is seasoned, the super is in-residence, the roof deck is wonderful, and there is a pool, an impressive gym, a playroom, an in-house garage, and something very unique and valuable: Madison Avenue’s only private, residential porte cochère driveway — allowing you weatherproof door-to-door drop off. With a prime Carnegie Hill address, this residence is within braggable proximity to every area cultural, dining, shopping, educational, and fitness destination. Central Park is your front-yard neighbor, you are a block from Museum Mile, and easy transportation options abound.
Welcome to an unparalleled Carnegie Hill opportunity. Come for the views, stay for the lifestyle.
(Various ownership forms, gifting, guarantors, co-purchases, buying for another, and immediate subletting are permitted with board approval.)

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
The living and dining rooms at 31E are open to each other, which gives you one large space for a sit-down dinner or an evening with guests. The trade-off is less separation between eating, relaxing and working, so the layout suits someone who likes rooms that connect.
The listing describes views on three exposures, and the apartment's views include park, city, water and panoramic outlooks. The living and dining rooms have large window walls. Central Park is about 3 minutes away on foot, and the Guggenheim is about 2 minutes, so the park is close when you want more of it than the windows show. The bedroom side is practical as well. The primary bedroom has an en suite bath, the two guest bedrooms share a full guest bath, and walk-in closets and built-ins add storage. Hardwood floors and high ceilings run through the home, and there's a powder room for guests. The kitchen has a range, refrigerator, freezer and dishwasher.
The building has an elevator, a gym, a children's playroom, a recreation room, a roof deck, a courtyard, garage parking, laundry in the building and a bike room. Cats and dogs are allowed. The 86 St station for the 4, 5 and 6 trains is about 6 minutes on foot, and Morton Williams is about 3 minutes away.
The private outdoor space is under 60 square feet, so think morning coffee rather than hosting.
