817 Fifth Avenue is a 1925 Italian Renaissance condominium designed by George B. Post & Sons at the southeast corner of Fifth Avenue and East 63rd Street, directly across from Central Park. Its 16 apartments occupy 14 floors, with most residences arranged as full floor homes and some spanning two floors.
The façade rises from a four story rusticated limestone base with a canopied entrance on 63rd Street. Broad bandcourses divide the upper stories, while a diamond patterned band and substantial cornice finish the composition. Large single pane picture windows replaced the original multipaned windows, opening broader views toward the park.
Full floor plans commonly place formal living and dining rooms, paneled libraries and primary bedrooms along Fifth Avenue, with additional bedrooms facing tree lined 63rd Street. High ceilings, wood burning fireplaces, private entry galleries, service wings and dedicated laundry rooms recur in these residences. The building’s most atypical home is a triplex maisonette with a separate entrance at 816 Fifth Avenue, a landscaped garden and three levels connected around its own internal stair.
The building has a full time doorman, resident storage and a live-in resident manager, and pets are permitted. Central Park and the Central Park Zoo are directly opposite or nearby, while Midtown begins a few blocks south. Past residents have included Howard Lutnick, Steve Wynn and Richard Gere.
