16 East 98th Street, 2-D

Just half a block from Central Park, Residence 2D is a true prewar one-bedroom offering generous proportions and a practical layout within an intimate, boutique Carnegie Hill cooperative. You walk into a proper entry foyer, which creates a welcome separation from the main living areas. From there, the apartment opens into an expansive living room with ample space for distinct seating and dining areas. The exceptionally spacious bedroom is a standout, easily accommodating a king-size bed along with additional furniture and a dedicated workspace or reading area. Additional highlights include two large hall closets, high beamed ceilings, crown moldings, and original hardwood floors throughout, all adding to the apartment’s classic prewar character. Built in 1925, this boutique co-op offers the kind of intimate setting increasingly hard to find. A live-in superintendent and porter provide attentive day-to-day service. This pet-friendly, elevator building also offers laundry, a common courtyard, bicycle storage, and private storage for rent. Co-purchasing, pied-à-terres, and subletting are permitted with board approval. Perhaps the greatest amenity is the location itself. Central Park is at the end of the block, with Museum Mile, neighborhood cafés, restaurants, and everyday conveniences all nearby. The 6 and Q trains provide easy access, while the nearby M96 and M106 buses offer convenient crosstown service through the park to the West Side.
