FULL FLOOR FIFTH AVE CONDOMIUNIUM WITH PANORAMIC PARK & SKYLINE VIEWS

Sitting high above Central Park, this gracious 4,522 square foot full-floor residence is located in one of Fifth Avenue's only and most coveted Condominium buildings. This sumptuous apartment's most alluring feature is its breathtaking 45 feet corner expanse overlooking Central Park with panoramic skyline views beyond. The apartment's layout is ideally designed for a first class lifestyle in an unparalleled location that affords privacy, security and access to the best features of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhood.

Upon entering through a private elevator landing, the apartment opens to a gracious Gallery, which separates the entertaining, sleeping and the service wings of the apartment. The Gallery dramatically opens up to one of the grandest Great Rooms found on Fifth Avenue, with a Living and Dining area, all enjoying breathtaking views over the treetops of Central Park. The Great Room is further enhanced by beautiful inlaid wood floors, coffered ceilings and a marble fronted wood burning fireplace. A custom wood-paneled Library also enjoys sunlit park views and makes for an ideal cozy room to relax or as a Home Office. A large chef's Eat-In-Kitchen features top of the line appliances and casual dining space. A Powder Room and an oversized walk in closet complete the entertaining wing of the apartment.

The apartment's luxurious Master Suite encompasses a sun splashed Bedroom complemented by an elegant decorative fireplace, a magnificent custom fitted oversized Dressing Room and Walk-In Closet, and a white Carrara marble clad Spa Bathroom. A long hallway leading to the other bedrooms is lined with custom fitted closets throughout maximizing every inch of storage. Two additional bedrooms complete this residence. Sunny, open city views continue throughout the bedroom wing, which also has access to a large laundry and staff area.

An especially valued unique feature is a separate fully fitted Studio Apartment with its own Kitchenette and Bathroom on the building's Lobby level. This space is a great opportunity for staff, storage or as a home office. This apartment also transfers with a private storage room.

838 Fifth Avenue is an elegant limestone building that has only nine residences.

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.
