Description

This stunning and supremely elegant Fifth Avenue residence has been impeccably renovated, featuring direct views of Central Park, grand proportions, a magnificent conservatory and its own private outdoor space. Located in a distinguished Fifth Avenue Coop, this intimate yet grandly scaled home with high ceilings, offers a gracious flow ideal for entertaining and the most comfortable living. Stepping off the private elevator landing on the second floor of this residence, you are greeted by a welcoming foyer that leads into an expansive and grandly proportioned living room, featuring direct Central Park views, a fireplace with handsome marble mantle, exquisite moldings, and three large casement windows through which light streams in.

Also off the main entry foyer is a welcoming bedroom/study with its en-suite bathroom and marble fireplace. A gallery on this floor leads to the expansive primary bedroom suite that boasts two luxurious windowed bathrooms, a Juliet balcony to the west overlooking the conservatory below, and a large sitting room that can also be used as a home office. Down an elegant spiral staircase, on the lower floor is a handsome library facing Central Park, a spacious bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, an expansive and refined dining room with intricate window grilles, and a large eat-in Chef’s kitchen featuring a Sub-Zero refrigerator and top of the line stainless steel appliances.

The kitchen leads to a fabulous conservatory with climate control and surrounded by a garden terrace that allows for year-round indoor/outdoor living. Other features of this exquisite home include a laundry room, central air conditioning, high ceilings, hardwood floors, four decorative marble fireplaces, and beautiful moldings. With an unbeatable location on the Gold Coast of the Upper East Side, this residence occupies the first two floors of an exclusive boutique Fifth Avenue prewar building. Built in 1926 by noted architect Issac Newton Phelps Stokes, this home offers the discerning buyer the appeal of townhouse living and the benefits of full time services.

Purchases through trusts, pied-a-terres, pets, and up to 60% financing are permitted. 2.5% flip tax payable by purchaser.
