East 96th Street Upper East Side

Pondering a Monet at the Met or a Gursky at the Guggenheim has never been easier. This Upper East Side perch at the midpoint of Fifth Avenue’s Museum Mile is the ideal base from which to experience the history of art and design from antiquity to modernity. Aesthetes will find plenty at home to inspire them. This elegant three bedroom, two bathroom home overlooks the treetops of 96th Street, and it has been decorated with the care of a master designer. Cascading chandeliers and abstract sculptures catch the eye, but this doesn’t mean the home’s all look-but-don’t-touch: children will find a storybook fantasy in spaces designed for their curiosity too.
