Description

Incredible opportunity with direct Central Park views on one of Fifth Avenue's loveliest blocks. Located in a beautiful cooperative prewar building, this property offers a large square entrance gallery that opens to a western facing living room and primary bedroom suite. Adjacent to the living room is an eastern facing library or second bedroom, which also offers Park views. As other apartments in this line have done, the kitchen can be opened into the dining alcove and office area to create a large eat-in kitchen. The additional bedroom and bath in the eastern portion of the apartment can be enlarged. Prewar architectural details such as beautiful herringbone floors, high ceilings, moldings and a decorative fireplace combine with three full baths and existing central air-conditioning to provide a backdrop offering endless possibilities to create your own home overlooking Central Park. 965 Fifth Avenue was built in 1938 and designed by Margon & Holder, one of the designers contributing to the construction of the El Dorado alongside Emery Roth. The building is a full-service, white-glove, luxury cooperative where residents enjoy a full-time doorman, elevator operator, gym, private storage and bike rooms. Pets are welcome. There is a 2% flip tax paid by the purchaser.

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.
