Description

Bring the Outside In

A home for the most ardent devotee of living with the glorious nature of Central Park and the Onassis Reservoir - Apartment 9B at the modernist co-operative 1045 Fifth Avenue, at 85th Street - is a dream come true.

A full curtain wall of glass slides effortlessly open to bring Central Park directly into your home. No other building on Fifth Avenue features an entire expanse of glass that creates such an exciting vista of the Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art - all from the perfect floor height. The 9th floor also has the distinction of offering higher ceilings than other units in the same line.

A formal foyer leads to a vast dining gallery and a double living/dining room overlooking the Park - a grand open space that is ideal for quiet relaxation in the blissful expanse of the Park and the Met, and a stunning setting for entertaining at sunset. A functional, updated kitchen features white lacquer cabinets, Rosso marble counters, and excellent cook space.

The bedroom wing includes an updated guest bathroom, a king-size primary suite with an updated marble bathroom, a guest bedroom or study, and extensive custom closets for all of one's necessities. This home has been freshly repainted, the floors have been refinished, and it is in pristine condition. It may also be renovated and reimagined to suit one's taste. This modern classic is a true opportunity for a discerning buyer.

1045 Fifth Avenue is a meticulously maintained and managed boutique co-operative with 15 units across 12 floors. It features the convenience of a full-time doorman, a wonderful resident manager, and attentive porters, and offers shareholders personal storage and laundry facilities. In-unit laundry may be added with board approval. 50% financing is permitted, and pets are welcome with board approval.

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.
