A truly exceptional Duplex has come to market at one of Carnegie Hill’s most coveted addresses. This high-floor, eight-room Candela apartment is a rare offering that seamlessly blends pre-war grandeur with the intimacy of a private home in the sky. Graciously proportioned and beautifully laid out, the residence currently features four bedrooms, a den/office and three-and-a-half baths. A classic Candela foyer sets the tone upon entry, unfolding into a dramatic living space with soaring ceilings, gorgeous original floors, and a wood-burning fireplace—perfect for elegant entertaining or quiet evenings at home. Partial views of Central Park provide light, air, and a timeless New York backdrop. The iconic Candela staircase leads to the private bedroom wing, creating a sense of separation and flow rarely found in apartment living. The result is a layout that lives like a townhouse, suspended above the city. Each room is thoughtfully scaled, filled with pre-war charm, and enhanced by exceptional craftsmanship throughout. Set within a distinguished full-service building, this high-floor pre-war masterpiece offers the elegance, warmth, and architectural pedigree that define the very best of Candela design. A rare and remarkable opportunity to own a true classic at 8 East 96th Street. 8 East 96th Street is a pet friendly, full-service prewar building with central laundry, private storage, and a bike room, nestled just off Museum Mile and close to terrific restaurants, public and private schools, shopping, and transportation. There is a 2% flip tax paid by buyer. Sorry no pied a terres.
