Impeccably renovated and designed, this prewar corner residence has the grandest loft feel with nearly 13-foot ceilings, 9-foot huge windows which bask the home with incredible light, and 62-feet of frontage overlooking the iconic architectural masterpieces on Fifth Avenue.

One enters through an elegant foyer that opens onto a dramatic entrance gallery with large walls for displaying art and an oversized coat closet. An entertainer's dream, the palatial corner double living and dining room is 39' by 22'8" and makes a dramatic statement for entertaining and is the heart of this very special home. This room is the focal point of the loft; it is open and airy with nine oversized windows offering both western and northern exposures, natural light floods this space all day. There is a custom imported Italian kitchen by Cassina with excellent storage as well as an enormous island that can seat six. The gourmet kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line appliances including a Thermador refrigerator and freezer, a Liebherr wine refrigerator, a Bertazzoni oven and range with a vented hood, a Bosch dishwasher, and a Scotsman ice maker. There is a laundry area with a full-size Whirlpool washer and vented dryer as well as utility storage.

As for the private quarters, there is a luxurious primary bedroom suite which faces onto 18th Street, it has a fabulous custom huge dressing room imported from Italy with a center island and custom hanging, built in drawers, and storage. The enormous lavish primary bathroom is clad in marble from Nemo and has two sinks, a steam shower, a deep soaking bathtub, and a separate water closet. The second bedroom that faces west over Fifth Avenue is 22'6" long and is currently being used as a library/media room; it can be easily converted to two bedrooms.

105 Fifth Avenue is a handsome 11-story Beaux-Arts prewar co-operative that was completed in 1880. It was designed by architect Robert Maynicke, The New York Times called him a pioneer in the building of modern loft apartments. Aptly named the Folio House, it was the original location of the Barnes & Noble chain of bookstores that opened on the lower floors in 1932. The building features a smart virtual doorman system, recently renovated hallways, two elevators in addition to a freight elevator, and a package room. There is a full-time resident manager. The location is incomparably convenient, nestled between two of Manhattan's best public squares: Madison Square Park and Union Square, the latter in which you will find its famed farmers market for fresh produce, baked goods and specialty foods. This neighborhood is home to several classic chef-driven New York eateries, great shopping and entertainment, and multiple transportation options. Whole Foods and Eataly are within minutes of your front door.
