Description

Impressive Central Park Views, Five Gracious Rooms As one enters the apartment through the marble floored entrance foyer, two major sun-filled front rooms greet you. The elegant corner Living Room with wood burning fireplace and the Library/ Dining room are perched high above Central Park with views due west and scanning northwest over the Metropolitan Museum. On a separate hall, guaranteeing complete privacy, is the bedroom wing. The large Primary Bedroom with en-suite bath and the second bedroom also with en-suite bath are sunny and open.

They face across 77th street to the highest floors of 960 Fifth avenue and its decorative facade. A large eat-in kitchen with good sized window and plentiful eastern light has its own wing where additional hall space offers numerous options. Storage trades with the apartment. Washer/Dryers, Pets and Pied-a terres allowed.

3% flip tax paid by the buyer. Built in 1926, 956 Fifth Avenue is a beautiful lime-stone clad building. It is an exemplary full-service pre-war cooperative.
