This exceptionally desirable 11 room apartment is perfectly positioned on a high floor of one of Fifth Avenue's most prestigious pre-war co-operatives, designed by Rosario Candela. There are panoramic park and city views from all the major rooms and the apartment is flooded with light throughout the day.

The current owners retained the award-winning architectural firm of Ferguson & Shamamian to carry out a comprehensive renovation in classical taste with meticulous attention to detail. The result is a beautifully balanced and eminently livable home with the major entertaining rooms focusing on the exceptional Park, reservoir and city views.

A private elevator vestibule opens into an entrance foyer with walnut paneled double doors opening to the major reception rooms.

There is a perfectly scaled, south-west corner living room with wood burning fireplace and four unusually large windows. Adjacent to the living room is a very large formal dining room, paneled in cerused white oak, with attractive book shelves and cabinetry. The library is paneled in walnut and has a wood burning fireplace.

Off the foyer is a large powder room and a private bedroom hallway which leads to two large south-facing bedrooms, each with en suite bathroom, and a third bedroom also with bathroom. The master bedroom suite comprises a bright and sunny bedroom with east and south exposures, a well appointed marble bathroom, and ample walk-in closets. There is a private study/dressing room for the master bedroom which is currently used as a fifth bedroom.

The wonderfully large kitchen, designed with a sunny windowed breakfast area., pantry, mud room and full laundry room has three points of access; the bedroom hallway, the dining room and the elevator vestibule.

Opening from the kitchen is a spacious, multiple use playroom/media room with powder room, and a separate generous staff room with full bathroom.

Apartments of this scale on Fifth Avenue rarely become available; this particular residence is especially pleasing in its layout and condition. This offering represents a rare opportunity for a discerning buyer.
