12 EAST 88TH STREET at 12 East 88th Street Building Details
Situated on a pristine block between Fifth and Madison Avenues, just across from the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum & seconds from Central Park, 12 East 88th Street is a distinguished Rosario Candela‐designed residence originally built in 1931 as a rental building. In 2017, Simon Baron Development completed an elegant conversion to condominium ownership, reducing the number of units and restoring many of the building's original architectural features. The structure's facade is classically refined, with a rusticated limestone base, decorative quoins, string courses, deep set multi‐paned windows, and graceful setbacks with stone-capped chimneys; flying buttresses add a dramatic visual accent, while the two‐story canopy marks a grand entry that bridges Old World craftsmanship with modern amenity.
Inside, the building contains 24 condo residences across 13 stories, each home combining pre‐war scale and proportion with the conveniences expected of today's luxury buyers. Interiors from the conversion by Champalimaud Design paired with Vicente Wolf's interior sensibility deliver warm, elegant finishes: hardwood flooring, generous ceiling heights, gallery entries, fireplaces in many units, sizable kitchens with premium appliances, washer/dryer in-unit where allowed, and terraces or balconies in select homes. Units enjoy sweeping views of townhouses, tree‐lined avenues, and, for upper floors, panoramic park and reservoir vistas. The house policy prohibits window air conditioners, preserving the integrity of the facade and quiet of interior spaces.
The location in Carnegie Hill is second to none-where museum culture, Central Park, high end boutiques, private and public schools and lush streets converge. Full‐service touches including a 24‐hour concierge & doorman, resident manager, landscaped garden terrace, and shared spaces like a media or lounge room reinforce that living here is as much about experience as it is about address.
