A rare Carnegie Hill full-floor residence with commanding views of Central Park, the Reservoir and the Guggenheim, this three bedroom, three and a half bathroom home is refined, gracious, and wholly complete in its appointments. Arrival is announced via a private, wood-paneled foyer that opens onto a gracious gallery which flows seamlessly to the expansive great room, where a gas fireplace anchors the space and breathtaking views frame both Central Park, the Reservoir and the Guggenheim Museum. An Oak-paneled library is a room of genuine scale, easily accommodating a media lounge and casual dining and flows seamlessly to the formal dining room. The chef's kitchen is bright and purposeful, boasting travertine counters in a sleek, continuous plane, a full suite of Miele and Sub-Zero appliances, and pocket pantry shelving. A full laundry room sits discreetly and conveniently adjacent. Equally suited as a home office or staff quarters, a bedroom sits off the kitchen and is served by its own powder room. The sleeping quarters can be closed from the principal living spaces preserving privacy and tranquility. The palatial primary suite features a workspace or lounge area while oversized windows frame the Guggenheim and the full canopy of Central Park. The ensuite bath features a double-width shower, marble counters and a discreetly appointed and thoughtfully scaled walk-in closet. North-facing and serene, with a massive walk-in closet, the second bedroom is serviced by a large windowed bathroom wrapped entirely in travertine. An ideal guest suite, a third bedroom suite features a huge windowed, ensuite bathroom with a large soaking tub. Positioned at the intersection of Carnegie Hill's architectural heritage and the living canvas of Central Park, the eleventh floor at 2 East 88th Street is a residence without equivalent. 3% flip tax, paid by Purchaser.
