Carnegie Hill
Uptown on the East Side, from 86th Street to 96th Street and from Lexington Avenue to Central Park.
The Carnegie Hill section of Manhattan, full of magnificient townhouses that are rarely for sale because their owners tend to hang on to them, has wonderful access to Central Park. Larger buildings house prewar apartments of six or seven rooms, known as “Classic Sixes” and “Classic Sevens,” but the light in the area is generous as even these magnificient co-ops are usually not too tall. The resulting old-world feel, which bathes even modern condos in Carnegie Hill, shows you why steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie picked this quiet, countrified section of Manhattan as the place to build his ultimate family home. (You can still visit it today on your way to buy or rent an apartment — it’s now a branch of the Smithsonian known as the Cooper-Hewitt museum.)

1356 Madison Avenue, also known as the Elmscourt, is an elegant pre-war cooperative building located between 95th and 96th Streets in the heart of Carnegie Hill. The six-story building was designed in 1899 by New York architect Frederick Jacobson in the Renaissance Revival style, which likened the buildings to the elegant and luxurious structures of sixteenth-century Rome. The Elmscourt was designed as part of a small complex with another building, the Woodbury, located around the corner at 27 East 95th Street. The two buildings now comprise a cooperative of 24 apartments. The building has a live-in superintendent who accepts packages. All major improvements have been completed. The most recent capital improvements have included a $660,000 upgrade of both the façade and roof. Individual storage bins are located in the basement.
Additional features of this building include: Zoned P.S. 198.
