Beautifully renovated and situated on a quiet townhouse block in the heart of Carnegie Hill, this 18-foot-wide home spans approximately 4,500 square feet across five bright, light-filled stories with soaring 11 foot ceilings. This single-family townhouse features 6 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 2 half bathrooms, multiple wood-burning fireplaces, a landscaped south-facing garden, and a tranquil solarium that brings in exceptional natural light throughout the home.

Located on a picturesque, tree-lined street, 138 East 95th Street seamlessly blends original Queen Anne-style architecture with thoughtful modern upgrades. Originally built in 1888 by C. Abbott French & Co., the home has been meticulously restored and updated with new plumbing, electrical systems, and high-end finishes throughout. There is central AC and heat and a washer dryer. Over 12,000SF of air rights available.

The parlor floor offers a spacious, open living and dining area that spans nearly the full depth of the home, enhanced by soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and a wood-burning fireplace that contributes to the home’s warm, inviting atmosphere. A private office with custom millwork is tucked behind elegant wood doors at the front, while an additional powder room and original architectural details add both function and charm.

The garden level features a Poliform-designed eat-in kitchen with Viking, Miele, and Sub-Zero appliances, an island with counter seating, generous storage, and a bright street-facing breakfast nook. Toward the rear, a media room opens to a sun-drenched solarium with direct access to the south-facing garden, complete with a patio and built-in Viking grill—ideal for effortless outdoor entertaining. A powder room and laundry area complete this level.

The third floor hosts the primary suite at the rear, including a wood-burning fireplace, walk-in closet, and en-suite bath with soaking tub, separate shower, and double vanity. A front-facing bedroom with bay window, en-suite bath, and custom built-ins offers flexibility as a guest suite or office. Ceiling heights on this level exceed 10.5 feet, further emphasizing the home’s openness and natural light.

On the fourth floor, two rear bedrooms share a full hall bath. A large front-facing playroom connects to another bedroom and full bath, with a staircase leading to a sunlit loft space with skylights—perfect as a guest room, art studio, or home office.

Additional features include a basement with ample storage and a Sonos sound system with concealed speakers on select floors. The home features a total of four wood-burning fireplaces, adding timeless charm and warmth to multiple levels of the residence. As part of the Goat Hill Association—a community of 27 single-family townhouses—the property also benefits from private security service seven days a week.
