8 East 96th Street is a 15-story cooperative building designed by renowned architect Rosario Candela and completed in 1928. The prewar structure contains 45 apartments and stands as a notable example of Candela's architectural prowess in Manhattan's Carnegie Hill neighborhood.
The dark beige-brick building features a canopied entrance, decorative lions adorning the second floor, and distinctive sandstone window reveals on the ground level. Its location just steps from Central Park and across from the Manhattan Country School benefits from reduced traffic flow, as 96th Street only carries eastbound traffic from Central Park.
The full-service building maintains white-glove amenities including a 24-hour doorman, resident manager, central laundry facilities, bike room, and private storage units for residents. The cooperative is pet-friendly and typical apartments feature prewar architectural details such as wood-burning fireplaces, 10-foot ceilings, and hardwood floors.
Situated at the traditional northern boundary of the Upper East Side, the building's location has appreciated in value due to its proximity to Mount Sinai Hospital, Museum Mile, and numerous private schools and cultural institutions. The area offers easy access to fine dining, shopping, and various transportation options while maintaining its classic Upper East Side character.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
