Superbly located steps away from Central Park at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 68th Street, this gracious 2 bedroom, 2 bath home is available for the first time in over twenty-five years.

There are two spacious bedrooms with walk-in closets, one facing north and one facing south.

The two full marble baths, one with a large shower and one with a shower/tub combo, are located next to each bedroom. Throughout the home, original details remain intact including crown moldings, custom built-ins, and hardwood floors.
870 Fifth Avenue is an elegant, white-glove Fifth Avenue co-op building with full-time doorman and valet services and fine amenities including a new fitness center, roof deck, private storage, and bicycle room.

870 Fifth Avenue residents enjoy Manhattan’s finest retail and restaurants, world-class museums and art galleries, and beloved Central Park all within moments of the front door. Pet friendly. Pied-a-terre allowed. Flip tax of 3% payable by buyer.
