116 East 91st Street is a rare free-market, four-unit brownstone apartment building dating to 1920, perfectly positioned on a quintessential Carnegie Hill block. Measuring 20 feet wide by 68 feet deep on a 100-foot lot and rising six stories, this beautifully proportioned property blends historic charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. All four residences have been fully renovated and are separately metered with individual boilers and hot water heaters. Each home features refined architectural detail, central air conditioning, in-unit washer/dryers, working fireplaces, and renovated kitchens and baths, with a mix of duplex and simplex layouts. All leases expire in 2026 or 2027, offering exceptional flexibility.
A short stoop leads to baronial double doors and an elegant lobby with soaring ceilings, setting the tone for the residences beyond.
Unit 1 is a stunning garden duplex that exemplifies the building’s caliber. Spanning the parlor and garden levels, this seven-room residence offers three bedrooms, four bathrooms, a home office, and gracious dining areas. The generously scaled bedrooms include an ensuite primary suite that opens directly to the garden and provides abundant closet space. High ceilings, oversized windows, and a wood-burning fireplace with a beautiful mantel create warmth and character throughout. Modern comforts include central air and in-home laundry, while the granite kitchen with stainless steel appliances opens off the dining room to a terrace overlooking a lush, private garden oasis.
Unit 2 is a refined two-bedroom, two-bath simplex showcasing classic architectural details and modern finishes. Wide-plank oak floors, high ceilings, recessed lighting, central air, and a wood-burning fireplace enhance the home’s timeless appeal. A large L-shaped living room is framed by oversized windows with built-in window seats overlooking the tree-lined street. The bedrooms enjoy serene garden views and southern light, with an ensuite primary bedroom and two elegantly appointed marble baths completing the residence.
Unit 3 is an impressive, fully renovated duplex offering three bedrooms and four bathrooms. Its expansive layout features gracious living and dining rooms with oversized windows at the treetops, providing charming open views. A south-facing, oversized eat-in kitchen is flooded with natural light and flows seamlessly to an adjacent den. High ceilings with crown moldings, a sweeping staircase, and two wood-burning fireplaces add architectural distinction, while elegant baths, smart storage, central air, in-unit laundry, a security system, and recessed lighting deliver modern luxury.
Unit 4 is a bright and renovated two-bedroom, two-bath simplex with a stunning contemporary aesthetic. The open kitchen and updated baths are complemented by high ceilings, excellent light and exposures, charming open views, central air conditioning, and an in-unit washer/dryer.
Ideally located on East 91st Street between Park and Lexington Avenues, the building is surrounded by beautifully restored townhomes and classic doorman cooperatives. Carnegie Hill is celebrated for its tree-lined streets, elegant architecture, and close proximity to Central Park, offering a timeless Upper East Side lifestyle.
