Rare Carnegie Hill Corner Penthouse with Extraordinary Private Terrace

Rarely available and truly distinctive, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom corner penthouse at 152 East 94th Street offers a combination rarely found on the Upper East Side: generous proportions, soaring ceilings, open city views, and a massive 66 ft private terrace.

Perched high above a quiet, tree-lined Carnegie Hill block, the apartment enjoys a bright southern exposure, filling the home with exceptional natural light all day. The centerpiece is an expansive great room with a dramatic sunken living room and soaring 11-foot beamed ceilings, creating an impressive sense of volume and scale. A step up leads to a separate dining area, while the living space opens naturally toward the expansive private terrace and the open city views beyond.

The enormous terrace is a true extension of the living space, with ample room to create distinct areas for outdoor dining, lounging, entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying the open city views. Whether envisioned as a sophisticated outdoor living room or a private urban garden, its size and versatility make it an exceptionally rare amenity in Carnegie Hill.

Both bedrooms are generously proportioned to accommodate king-size furnishings, including a spacious primary suite and an equally large second bedroom. Three walk-in closets provide an exceptional amount of storage. Both bathrooms are unusually large, each offering four fixtures with separate shower and bathtub. The kitchen presents an opportunity to create a contemporary, partially open kitchen tailored to your own taste and lifestyle. Hardwood floors run throughout. The apartment is an exceptional opportunity to bring a thoughtful renovation to a home with outstanding proportions, architectural character, light, and an extraordinary indoor-outdoor footprint. The combination of a true corner layout, high ceilings, expansive rooms, open exposures, and an enormous private terrace is a particularly rare offering in Carnegie Hill.

152 East 94th Street is a distinguished prewar Art Deco cooperative, built in the late 1930s and designed by architects Boak & Paris. The handsome red-brick building retains its period character while offering the conveniences of full-service living, including a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, two passenger elevators, bicycle storage, additional private storage, and a central laundry room. The building occupies a particularly appealing Carnegie Hill block lined with mature trees and brownstone townhouses.

The location places you moments from Central Park, Museum Mile, the 92nd Street Y, neighborhood shops and cafés, excellent public and private schools, and convenient transportation, including the 4/5/6 subway station at 96th Street and crosstown bus service. Pied-à-terre ownership is permitted, and pets are welcome with board approval. Listing courtesy of Compass ...
