Description

Located on a picturesque tree-lined block in the heart of Carnegie Hill, 138 East 95th Street is a stunning Queen Anne-style townhouse built in 1888 by C. Abbott French & Co. This five story residence spans approximately 4,100 square feet and offers six bedrooms, six bathrooms, a south-facing garden, and multiple living and entertaining spaces. The home underwent a complete gut renovation in recent years, seamlessly combining traditional townhouse charm with modern amenities, including updated plumbing and electrical systems. Ownership on this block is associated with the Goat Hill Association, a close-knit neighborhood group of 27 single-family townhouses that offers private security guard service seven days a week.

Toward the rear, a media room opens into a bright solarium with access to a south-facing garden. The garden, complete with a patio and a Viking grill, is perfect for outdoor gatherings. This level also includes a powder room and a laundry area for added convenience.

The parlor floor showcases an elegant open living and dining area that spans nearly the full depth of the home, enhanced by soaring ceilings and a large window overlooking the garden. Sunlight streams through, highlighting bright walls and contrasting beautifully with dark wood details, creating a refined yet contemporary ambiance. A private office, tucked behind elegant wooden doors at the front of the floor, offers a quiet retreat, while a charming powder room and a working fireplace add warmth and sophistication.

On the third floor, the serene primary suite is situated at the rear of the home, providing privacy and comfort.

High ceilings of over 10.5 feet lend an airy and open feel to the space.

The fourth floor provides two bedrooms at the rear and a shared full bathroom in the hall. At the front of the floor, a spacious playroom connects to another bedroom and full bathroom, with a charming wooden staircase leading to a unique loft space. The loft, with its slanted skylights and natural light, offers a versatile area for an extra bedroom or studio.
