Description

This 4.5 room apartment located on a high floor of a full service Fifth Avenue co-op is fantastic. Huge picture windows in the living room and master bedroom frame the views of the Park and the iconic Central Park West skyline at the perfect height above the trees. Formerly the lower floor of a duplex, the well-proportioned rooms now consist of a welcoming front hall; living room, master bedroom, dining room/den, windowed kitchen, interior study, and one and a half baths. The present dining room could be used as a second bedroom and a second full bath may be added with board approval. The apartment needs to be renovated. The building, designed by the renowned Rosario Candela, features only 2 apartments per floor; a landscaped roof terrace for the tenant shareholders; a fitness room and a storage bin for each apartment. 50% financing, washer/dryers and pets are permitted. There is a 3% building flip tax payable by the purchaser.

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.
