Description

Ideally located on Madison Avenue at 77th Street and directly connected to the legendary Carlyle Hotel, this exceptional classic eight into seven room residence is distinguished by a dramatic double-height living room with 13-foot ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and beautifully proportioned prewar rooms throughout. The apartment offers three bedrooms plus a staff room and four bathrooms.

A semi-private elevator landing opens to a gracious entry foyer that leads to an impressive gallery with herringbone floors, from which the principal rooms unfold. The magnificent 27' 9 " by 1 7' living room is the centerpiece of the home, featuring a wood-burning fireplace and oversized casement windows that flood the space with beautiful western light overlooking Madison Avenue. Across the gallery is an oversized formal dining room, perfectly suited for elegant entertaining.

The dining room connects to a butler's pantry and a spacious windowed eat-in kitchen designed by Smallbone and outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances. The kitchen features a large center island with seating for five, creating a wonderful space for both everyday living and gathering. One of the original staff rooms has been thoughtfully incorporated into the kitchen, creating an expansive layout. There is a laundry area with a vented dryer. Beyond the kitchen is the remaining staff room and bathroom.

Off the gallery, a private bedroom vestibule leads to the oversized primary bedroom with two walk-in closets and a windowed ensuite bathroom. The spacious second bedroom also has an en-suite bath and a large closet. Both bedrooms enjoy beautiful eastern light. Completing the home is a library, or third bedroom, with an ensuite bath and sunny western exposures overlooking Madison Avenue.

Built in 1929 and known as The Carlyle House, this elegant prewar co - operative offers a full-time doorman and live-in resident manager. Residents enjoy the rare privilege of private access to the Carlyle Hotel, allowing convenient use of its celebrated amenities-including Café Carlyle, Dowling's at The Carlyle, Bemelmans Bar, The Gallery, Valmont Spa, Fitness Center, Yves Durif Hair Salon, a parking garage, and even room service-all available on a pay-per-use basis.

A storage bin is assigned by the building. There is a 2% flip tax paid by the purchaser and 25% financing is allowed. There is a current assessment of $2,013 per month through September 1, 2026.
