Description

There are extraordinary apartments on Fifth Avenue, but this is one of the best offered in decades.

The 8th floor of 944 Fifth Avenue has three rooms overlooking Central Park; the large living room, library, and corner bedroom. The principal bedroom is a suite of two rooms and a double-sized primary bathroom,. There are 2-3 additional bedrooms, with en-suite bathrooms, depending upon how one uses the space.

The dining room, which is large and square, is accessed by the gracious foyer and from the living room.

The flow of the apartment is perfect for entertaining, and, though extremely spacious, there is no sense of the space being cavernous.

This apartment is the dream of many and the possession of few. Located on Fifth Avenue between 75th and 76th St., 944 Fifth Avenue is situated between two transverses of Central Park. The 72nd transverse and 79th St. transverses punctuate the most quiet and serene part of Fifth Avenue.

That is the superb location of this building and apartment.

The primary bedroom suite at the south corner of the apartment has a window facing south, through which all of the lights on Central Park South are illuminated at night. It is a very romantic bedroom suite. The elevation of the apartment in the building permits beautiful natural lighting throughout each of its 11 rooms.

944 Fifth Avenue is a building made up of 13 units and 14 floors. The building has a gym, but its greatest amenity is Central Park and the access to it.

The building’s location on Museum Mile permits access to some of the most significant cultural institutions in America. The fabulous restaurants, of all descriptions, make dining out a pleasure. One never runs out of opportunities to have a great life from this living space.
