Welcome to a rare architectural offering at The Morgan Studios — a distinguished 1928 pre-war cooperative set along one of the Upper East Side’s most coveted tree-lined blocks. This exceptional duplex is defined by its dramatic double-height living room, where soaring 13-foot ceilings and oversized multi-pane windows create extraordinary scale and light. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the space, while elegant iron-railed stairs rise to the private level above — a striking architectural focal point equally suited to intimate evenings or grand entertaining. The residence has undergone a comprehensive and thoughtful renovation, seamlessly blending historic character with modern comfort. The windowed kitchen has been redesigned with clean, tailored finishes that respect the building’s pre-war integrity. All windows have been replaced, and a newly installed HVAC system has been discreetly integrated through custom millwork, ensuring contemporary performance without disrupting architectural authenticity. The reconfigured floor plan enhances flow while preserving proportion and volume. Upstairs, the bedroom level offers privacy and refinement, including a custom dressing area and a beautifully appointed windowed bath. Throughout the home, meticulous detailing and material selection reflect a carefully considered approach to both form and function. The Morgan Studios is celebrated for its distinctive red-brick façade and signature double-height windows — hallmarks of its architectural pedigree. Residents enjoy full-service amenities including a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, elevator, private storage, and laundry. The boutique scale of the cooperative provides a sense of discretion and community rarely found in larger buildings. Ideally positioned moments from Madison Avenue, Central Park, and the Upper East Side’s cultural institutions and dining destinations, this home offers both tranquility and proximity. Pied-à-terres, pets, and in unit washer/dryer permitted with board approval. There is an annual capital assessment equal to one month’s maintenance.
