3 East 95th Street is Horace Trumbauer's only Manhattan residential conversion-to-condominium project — a 1913-1921 Louis XVI mansion that the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission described as "one of the finest examples in the city of 18th Century French Classicism" when designating the building as an individual NYC landmark in 1974. The 2004 boutique condominium conversion with adjacent compatible new-construction townhouse by Zivkovic Connolly Architects and classical interiors by John Simpson produced one of the most architecturally consequential Carnegie Hill condominium configurations.
No other Carnegie Hill condominium can claim the architect-of-record that this one does: the Trumbauer architectural pedigree, whose broader body of work includes the Duke Mansion, Widener Library at Harvard, The Elms in Newport, and Whitemarsh Hall in Pennsylvania. That standing is reinforced by a NYC individual landmark designation — LP-0879 in 1974 — placing The Carhart Mansion in an elevated regulatory and architectural tier. What buyers actually acquire is rarer still: a boutique 4-unit mansion configuration plus the compatible adjacent townhouse, the Zivkovic Connolly / John Simpson 2004 work that preserves the mansion's institutional gravity while expanding the residential program.
Published architectural histories provide the canonical architectural and resident record.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01507-7502) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.
What to know if you’re buying
The Trumbauer architectural pedigree is uniquely distinguishing. No other Carnegie Hill condominium carries the same architect-of-record credential. The broader Trumbauer corpus (Duke Mansion, Widener Library, The Elms, Whitemarsh Hall) anchors institutional context.
The NYC individual landmark designation (LP-0879, 1974) is structurally elevating. The "one of the finest examples in the city of 18th Century French Classicism" LPC characterization sets the architectural tier.
The 2004 Zivkovic Connolly / John Simpson conversion is real institutional credential. The compatible adjacent townhouse and the classical interior design support premium positioning.
The boutique 4-mansion-unit-plus-addition configuration is the smallest condominium scale on Carnegie Hill.
The condominium structure produces maximum policy flexibility. Pied-à-terre, subletting, LLC, trust, foreign buyer all permitted.
The Metropolitan Museum Historic District context anchors the urban setting. Steps from the Carnegie mansion (Cooper-Hewitt), the Jewish Museum, the Cooper-Hewitt garden, and Central Park.
Closing timelines are condominium-standard. Plan for 30 to 45 days from contract through ROFR waiver to closing.
What to know if you’re selling
Marketing should emphasize the Trumbauer / NYC individual landmark / 2004 Zivkovic Connolly / John Simpson layered credentials. No peer Carnegie Hill condominium carries the same architectural-history depth.
The condominium policy flexibility supports the broadest possible buyer pool.
The boutique scale and the trophy mansion provenance support premium positioning at the top of Carnegie Hill condominium pricing.
Closing timelines are condominium-standard.
