Description

Gracious Terraced Penthouse Perched High Above Fifth Avenue

This oversized one bedroom home captivates from the moment you enter the front door. Immediately met with gorgeous natural light that streams from the triple exposures throughout, one is welcomed into the gracious gallery and dining area. The generous terrace (48' x 5.2') beckons with both open Southern and Eastern city views and Central Park views to the West.

The voluminous master suite boasts ample closet space, high ceilings and a large bathroom. While apartment lives beautifully as-is, the next owner might choose to bring to life one of the endless options for renovation. A half bath and home office/study have been discussed as feasible improvements pending board approval.

880 Fifth Avenue is an Emery Roth designed full-service coop. Upon entering the building you are greeted by the 24 hour doormen, concierge and the exquisite lobby which is enhanced by an impeccably well-maintained interior garden. A few more perks of purchasing in this lifestyle building include elevator attendants, a twenty-four hour attended garage with preferred rates for shareholders and a gorgeous gym. Regrettably, building does not allow dogs.

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.
