The Carhart Mansion at 3 East 95th Street will comprise a uniquely elegant combination of two buildings presenting the best of classical design from the early 20th and 21st centuries. It will provide a fortunate few with all the luxuries of modern and fully- serviced apartment living, in the most gracious of traditional style.

Located on a beautiful, tree-lined block in the heart of Carnegie Hill, steps away from Central Park, the Mansion will be a timeless collaboration of past and future. The original townhouse was designed in the French neo-classical style by Master Architect Horace Trumbauer, a leading practitioner of the early-20th century, celebrated for some of the finest residences in New York City, Philadelphia and Newport. The new building, too, was conceived in the classical style by award-winning, Manhattan-based Zivkovic Associates Architects and designed in collaboration with London Architect John Simpson, who is responsible for the recently completed new galleries at Buckingham Palace for the British Royal Family. These architects specialize in executing graceful, traditional residences on both sides of the Atlantic, for an exclusive clientele. Their joint vision, for a contextual addition to both the original building and historic neighborhood, ensures continuity of the grace and elegance of Trumbauer’s work. It will be the touchstone of quality in architecture and interior design and will stand the test of time well into the new century.

The dignity and grandness of the apartments themselves will be measured in terms greater than their scarcity and scale. They will range in size from 7,000 to over 14,000 square feet and, in keeping with the prestige of the 5th-Avenue setting, there will only be four apartments from which to choose: the Simplex, Duplex, Triplex and Penthouse. Notably, the vast interiors of the original building, featuring ceiling heights of up to 20 feet in height, will also be expanded in kind with rooms of similarly splendid proportions in the new addition. Moreover, Trumbauer’s original ornamental detail will be retained and enriched with elaborate, new architectural articulation of the capacious, flowing interiors.
