Description

Situated in Fifth Avenue's most notable building, designed by famed architect Rosario Candela, this grandly scaled apartment features nearly 12-foot-high ceilings, exquisite details, and perfectly proportioned rooms.

The gracious foyer leads to an extremely impressive and enormous living room with a wood-burning fireplace and two huge windows facing Central Park. It opens to a luxurious formal dining room perfect for grand dinner parties. A cloakroom and powder room are conveniently located off the gallery.

The private quarters include an enormous master bedroom replete with three windows with park views and generous closet space. Adjacent is a large second bedroom with en suite bath. There is a very sizable kitchen plus a pantry, staff dining hall, laundry, and half bathroom. Next to the kitchen, a staircase leads to an additional expansive bedroom with en suite bath. Located just outside the apartment is a separate studio complete with a full bathroom and kitchenette which can be modified so one can enter the studio through the apartment.

Erected in 1931, this Rosario Candela-designed building enjoys a highly sought-after New York City location. Residents have access to a variety of white-glove services including a doorman, fully staffed lobby, elevator attendants, and a charming courtyard.

Central Park, with its myriad recreational opportunities and its many attractions, including the Central Park Zoo and Wollman Rink, is just across Fifth Avenue. The best shopping opportunities in the city are located nearby on fashionable Madison Avenue and a few blocks south on Fifth Avenue. A wealth of cultural institutions are also close at hand such as The Frick Collection as well as outstanding galleries and world-class restaurants. To Show: 24 Hours notice, 9-5 Monday - Friday.

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.
