Description

A rare opportunity to own a fully gut-renovated one-bedroom residence at one of Fifth Avenue’s most storied addresses renovated by AD 100 designer Juan Montoya. Wrapping the southeast corner of the 15th floor, Apartment 1511 captures an extraordinary panorama: the living room commands dual exposures south and east, framing views of Midtown’s skyline, the Plaza Hotel, and Grand Army Plaza below, while the generously proportioned bedroom faces south over the city’s glittering roofscape. At the center of the apartment is the gracious Living and Dining room . The deep blue patterned wallcovering creates a cozy, sophisticated backdrop for the city views, that pour in from multiple oversized windows. Dark stained herringbone hardwood floors ground the space while crisp white plaster crown moldings and soaring 10-foot ceilings lend classical counterpoint. The dining area flows seamlessly into the living zone. Throughout the apartment, Montoya’s signature materiality announces itself in the richly figured macassar ebony doors , monumental in scale, articulated in hand-laid mosaic panels, that elegantly connect the living room to the bedroom suite while adding architectural character. The Primary Suite is both sophisticated and inviting, with pale champagne grasscloth walls, a floor-to-ceiling upholstered leather headboard, rich dark floors, and beautiful south-facing light streaming over the Manhattan skyline. The ensuite bath continues the high design standard with bold black-and-white harlequin marble floors, white marble walls accented by black inlay borders, and a dramatic nero marquina vanity counter with polished nickel fittings. A frameless glass-enclosed marble shower and full mirrored wall complete a bath of genuine luxury. The apartment is further appointed with a well-configured, windowed kitchen located just off the entry foyer, featuring top-of-the-line appliances and excellent functionality. A beautifully designed powder room completes the space, finished with a dark steel vanity, onyx vessel sink, and geometric black-and-white tile floors with inset detail. The Sherry Netherland Hotel is located at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 59th Street in the heart of Midtown. This central and sought after location is easily accessible to Central Park as well as Manhattan’s best restaurants, shops and museums. Services and amenities offered by this iconic white-glove prewar cooperative hotel include full concierge services, 24 hour doormen and elevator attendants, daily housekeeping and evening turndown services, valet parking, room service provided by Harry Cipriani, a fitness center, barber shop and beauty salon. There is a 2% flip tax charged to the buyer. Up to 50% financing is permitted. A monthly assessment of $2,022.52 is payable through August of 2027.
