16 East 96th Street
Built in 1904, The Queenston is a charming co-op located just one block from Central Park in the heart of historic Carnegie Hill. Originally conceived as the “piano noblesse” or “Royal Flat”, the Emerson residence with its 10.5 foot plaster molded ceilings radiates turn-of-the-century European charm. This 10 room apartment’s living room, formal dining room, library and a twenty-one foot gallery altogether encompass the tradition of grand entertaining. In addition to the 5 bedrooms there is a spacious eat-in kitchen with a large butler’s pantry, plus a maid’s room with a half bath. There is the possibility of adding a full third bathroom and a powder room. The co-op is surrounded by some of Manhattan’s loveliest restaurants as well as its finest public and private schools. This estate is architect-ready and is looking for the right buyer to truly make it theirs.
75% financing allowed.
