Description

A sun-flooded, full-floor, tower residence at The Sherry Netherland with expansive views of Central Park and the Manhattan Skyline. Originally designed by renowned interior designer, Geoffrey Bradfield, this home is the epitome of elegance and sophistication.

A private, gilded landing greets you upon exiting the attended elevator on the 29th floor. Enter into the formal gallery to the grandly scaled Great Room. Fronting directly on Fifth Avenue and Central Park, this vast entertaining space faces North and West. Lying adjacent is the spacious dining room/library, clad in custom millwork. Concealed by the millwork, there is a door to the windowed kitchen with Central Park Views. Off of the kitchen is a full bath and the service entrance.

Completing the home are two bedroom suites tucked discreetly off the gallery. The corner, primary suite defines luxury with gracious proportions. Facing South and West, the primary bedroom and attached dressing room feature unobstructed views of Central Park. A walk-in-closet and marble bath complete the primary. Across the hall, with South facing views, is the second bedroom suite or office, clad in custom millwork, concealing its ample closets. A windowed dressing room leads to the ensuite marble bath.

This two bedroom/three and one half-bathroom full-floor tower residence is the ultimate home for an owner who wishes to enjoy the luxury of hotel living and services, while also owning a home with one-of-a-kind architectural significance and grandeur.

"One can literally 'Box the Compass' from the windows of this incomparable aerie..a cloud kingdom sequestered high above Manhattan." - Geoffrey Bradfield

The Sherry Netherland is a white-glove, pre-war, coop with 24-hour doorman and concierge, attended elevators, valet service, room service by the famed Harry Cipriani restaurant, extensive security, daily housekeeping including turn down service, and access to a pristine gym.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its quiet, 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.
