Description

Welcome to Apartment 8E at 1280 Fifth Avenue. This modern and spacious home features two bedrooms, a home office (third bedroom) and two bathrooms and luminous exposures to the south and east. The floor-to-ceiling windows offer exceptional natural sunlight and views of Central Park. The open chef's kitchen blends harmoniously with the living room, with Thermador and Miele appliances, hardwood floors, granite countertops and teak cabinetry. A Bosch washer and dryer and custom-made, oversized walk-in California closets optimize space perfectly and add to the convenience and luxury.

Wake up to Central Park views from the spacious and well-designed master bedroom. The sizable second bedroom features gorgeous sunlight and the home office/third bedroom is bright and sunny. The two full bathrooms are spa-like with limestone walls, Bianco Dolomiti marble countertops, Kallista sinks and glass-enclosed showers with fantastic water pressure. The windowed 5-fixture master bath is en-suite and offers a deep-soaking tub by Zuma and a double-sink.

This elegant Robert A. M. Stern building is a crown jewel upon Central Park. 1280 5th Avenue, also called One Museum Mile, is walking distance to world-class museums and sits directly across from Central Park, making it seem as if the park is your own personal playground. The amenity-rich white-glove building features a 24-hour doorman, a heated roof-top pool, a roof deck overlooking the park, a children's playroom, a teen game room, a lounge with Wi-Fi, an impressive conference room and full gym. There is a 421-A tax abatement in place until 2022. Also available furnished or unfurnished.
