IN CONTRACT - This elegantly decorated 8 room apartment in one of Carnegie Hill's most sought after Rosario Candela buildings is move in ready.  The apartment consists of a master bedroom suite, 3 additional bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, a library, and an eat in kitchen.   One of the most notable features is the layout designed to separate the master suite from the bedroom wing on the opposite side of the apartment. One is welcomed into a chic foyer with Gracie metallic silver tea paper.  The south facing dining room with Celerie Kemble wall covering is partitioned from the foyer by large leaded glass paned French doors accented with brass bullet hinges. Custom millwork and warm toned Farrow and Ball paints adorn the south facing living room, study and master bedroom suite. The light filled living room with built in books shelves and lovely mantle is large enough for a separate game table area.  Beyond the living room, is a handsome study painted in high gloss navy with custom cabinetry and brass architectural hardware.  The master bedroom with light filled open views is spacious enough for a king bed with chests on either side as well as a sitting area.  Additionally, the master bedroom features a walk in closet with built in drawers and a safe.  The two sided banquette and table allows the windowed eat in kitchen to function as another living space.  The kitchen also has custom cabinetry for storage and a Wolf oven and range.  The bedroom wing includes three bedrooms and two baths one of which is en suite.  

70 East 96th Street is located between Park and Madison Avenues.  The cafes, bistros, boutiques and bookstores of historic Carnegie Hill are steps away.  The reservoir, jogging paths, and playgrounds of Central Park are a block away and bus and subway transportation is extremely convenient and accessible.  Two storage bins transfer with the apartment. 60% financing allowed.
