Description

A STUNNING FIFTH AVENUE ENTERTAINER'S DREAM WITH EXPANSIVE PRIVATE TERRACE An extraordinary opportunity awaits at 870 Fifth Avenue: a spectacular home currently configured as a two bedroom, den/library, and two-and-a-half-bath residence with an expansive private terrace offering open views stretching from Billionaires' Row to peeking into Central Park. Completely reimagined and redesigned in 2024 by internationally acclaimed AD100 designer Tony Ingrao, this home was gut-renovated from the ground up with no expense spared resulting in a seamless blend of timeless elegance and modern sophistication. Inside, glamorous style meets thoughtful design. The expansive living and dining areas flow effortlessly across wide-plank white oak floors, illuminated by recessed Element lighting and anchored by a custom backlit onyx bar-a striking centerpiece for entertaining. The open-plan layout extends naturally to the vast terrace through 3 sets of French doors. This a truly rare Fifth Avenue sanctuary with endless possibilities for al fresco dining, lounging, and gatherings under the city skyline. The king-sized primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with abundant storage, including a generous walk-in closet and custom built-ins. Its ensuite bath is spa-caliber, finished with quartzite countertops and a full five-piece Waterworks fixture set. The second bedroom with it's own ensuite gorgeous bathroom is in the private Northern wing of the home. The elegant private powder room-complete with a quartzite vanity, Cristal & Bronze fixtures, and a dramatic backlit decorative panel-provide both comfort and style. A large den/home office/3rd bedroom with bright east and north exposures offers complete flexibility. The chef's kitchen is a true showpiece, marrying Hans Krug European cabinetry in wood veneer and lacquer finishes with marble countertops, Dornbracht fixtures, a Wolf gas range with vented hood, Sub-Zero refrigeration, and dual Cove dishwashers. Next to the kitchen is a large walk in laundry room with plenty of storage, and an additional pantry. Modern systems elevate every detail of daily living: a five-zone HVAC system, vented kitchen and laundry, integrated Lutron lighting, and automated shades, and a Sonance in-ceiling sound system that extends throughout the residence. Every element has been carefully considered, delivering a truly turnkey home for the most discerning buyer. 870 Fifth Avenue is a distinguished white-glove cooperative offering full-time staff, a beautifully landscaped roof deck, fitness center, and impeccable service. Its prime location at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 68th Street places you moments from Central Park, world-class dining, cafés, boutiques, and cultural institutions. A storage unit transfers with the sale. Please Note: There is a 3% flip tax This residence is more than an apartment-it is a private Fifth Avenue oasis.

Broker Commission Disclosure: Broker commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable.

How working with a buyer's agent works: I work for you, not the seller. Before I show you anything, New York brokerage rules ask us to put that in writing: an agreement and a disclosure that say I work for you and negotiate on your behalf. The agreement is non-exclusive: you can work with other agents, it runs for a short fixed term we agree on, and you can end it with a note. You may attend open houses independently without an agreement. Read how it works
