This former hospital building enjoys an "enviable location" in one of Manhattan's most coveted neighborhoods, mere steps from "iconic Central Park" and the "cultural treasures" of Fifth Avenue. The address puts residents within easy reach of "world-class shopping" at Bergdorf's and Saks, while "cultural attractions" like MoMA and Rockefeller Center add to the "prestigious appeal" of this historic property's setting.
