Description

Located in a highly coveted cooperative in the heart of the Upper East Side, this spacious Classic 6 has direct Central Park views. The gracious entrance foyer leads to an expansive sun-filled living room with a picturesque view of the Park through oversized windows and to a generously sized formal dining room with handsome custom cabinetry. The flow between the two rooms is perfect for entertaining. The original staff room has been combined with the kitchen to create a large windowed eat-in kitchen with a breakfast area. The primary bedroom suite enjoys stunning Central Park views and an ensuite bath. The second bedroom has an eastern exposure and a hall bathroom. Additional features of the apartment include through the wall air-conditioning and hardwood floors.

Built in 1940, 875 Fifth Avenue is a prestigious white-glove cooperative designed by Emory Roth. The building has a full-time doorman, concierge and live-in resident manager. Additional amenities include a fitness center, business center, bike room, central laundry room and private storage. Pied-a-terres and financing up to 50% of the purchase price are permitted. There is a 4% flip tax paid by the buyer. Please note that the building does not permit pets.

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.
