Residence 11A/11E at 7 West 96th Street is a rare and thoughtfully combined home, offering expansive proportions, abundant light, and exceptional flexibility. Formed by the seamless integration of a six-room and a three-room apartment, this residence provides a layout that adapts beautifully to a variety of living needs.

A gracious entry foyer leads into an impressive, loft-like expanse of living and dining space, stretching over 30 feet with sunny southern exposures that flood the home with natural light throughout the day. The open-concept design is anchored by a custom contemporary kitchen, featuring an enormous center island, extensive cabinetry, and a full suite of high-end appliances-perfectly positioned for both casual living and entertaining on a grand scale.

The primary bedroom suite is privately situated along the southern wing, enjoying open city views, a large walk-in closet, and an en-suite bathroom. Adjacent to the main living area is a versatile den or third bedroom, ideal as a home office, guest room, or media space. A second bedroom and additional full and half bathrooms are thoughtfully placed to provide comfort and privacy.

The “E” line portion of the home, accessible through the main living space or via its own separate entrance, creates a distinct secondary wing. This area includes two generously sized bedrooms, a full bathroom, a walk-in closet, and a kitchenette. As configured, it offers an ideal setup for multigenerational living, guest accommodations, or live-in support. Alternatively, it can be reimagined as a luxurious primary suite wing with sitting room, dressing area, and spa-like bath.

Additional conveniences include an in-unit washer and dryer, excellent closet space throughout, and a natural flow that balances openness with well-defined private areas.

With its bright southern exposure, flexible configuration, and substantial scale, Residence 11A/11E presents a unique opportunity to enjoy a truly adaptable home in a prime Upper West Side location.

Located on a beautiful, tree-lined block just off Central Park, 7 West 96th Street is a distinguished art deco masterpiece that blends classic Upper West Side charm with modern convenience. Residents are welcomed by an elegant lobby and enjoy the services of a full-time doorman, along with a live-in superintendent and attentive staff. The building is well maintained and offers amenities including a stunning roof deck with panoramic city and park views, central laundry, bike storage, and private storage, all within a pet-friendly and professionally managed setting close to subways, buses, restaurants and garages. 75% financing is permitted.
