Carnegie House

100 West 57th St., also known as the Carnegie House, was built in 1962. The 21-storey building consists of 324 residences and puts its residences in a prime spot that’s walking-distance to Central Park, Times Square, Manhattan’s Theater District as well as Radio City Music Hall and Carnegie Hall, which shares its name.

The Carnegie House, which was converted to a cooperative in 1978, occupies the entire western block front from 56th to 57th Street. Passersby will notice the building’s striking façade, which is composed of various shades of gray brick, and a grand entrance to a spacious lobby off 6th Avenue, or the Avenue of the Americas.

The C/S 56th Street LLC-owned building consists of studios, one, two and three bedroom units. Amenities of this full-service building includes a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, valet, private storage, bike room, central laundry, and a garage (on 56th Street).

The pet-friendly building, which allows pied-a-terres and co-purchasing, is centrally located in the heart of midtown and just a short stroll from an abundance of services, restaurants, health clubs, museums and high-end shopping.

The N, Q, R and W trains are all nearby, along with the B, D, F, M and E lines. Among the schools that are less than half a mile away include the Bard College Graduate Center, New York Institute of Technology, Christie's Education and the New York Graduate School of Psychoanalysis.

Note to buyers:  The co-op is currently in a land-lease situation, meaning the co-op does not own the land under the building and must renew the lease with the landlord.  For some owners, that presents a source of uncertainty and risk which could impact future maintenance dues.  Investors and potential owners are advised to consult an attorney prior to buying.
