Description

Located in a premier Fifth Avenue building, with Central Park at your doorstep, this blank canvas is your opportunity to create a masterpiece! A light and bright oversized one bedroom + dining area /home office (10.1 x 9.6), 1.5 bath apartment where design opportunities are endless. The generous floorplan, with ample closet space throughout, has a flexible layout and wonderful flow. Windowed kitchen and bathrooms. Many others in this line have created a full bath in place of the current powder room. Washer/dryer permitted. All renovations subject to board approval.

Built in 1947, 880 5th is the last apartment house to be completed by famed pre-war architect Emery Roth, and the only co-op along Fifth Avenue to feature his twin-tower design. A prestigious and historic white-glove co-op that boasts exceptional amenities and superb service. Namely, full-time doorman, elevator operator, concierge, live-in resident manager and a state of the art fully-equipped gym with a separate pilates & yoga room. An on-site parking garage (open 24 hours) is available at a discounted rate for shareholders. No dogs please. Pied-a-terres welcome.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
