Welcome to Residence 3A at 956 Fifth Avenue, a distinguished cooperative at 77th Street on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. This spectacular three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home offers the perfect blend of prewar grandeur and contemporary sophistication—directly across from Central Park. Enter from a private elevator landing into an impressive center gallery, which unfolds to a corner living room and a spacious formal dining room. Both are beautifully proportioned and overlook one of the world’s most celebrated landscapes, providing an ever-changing backdrop of seasonal park beauty. A hallway off the gallery leads to the private bedroom wing. The current layout includes a richly paneled rift white oak library that opens from the living room, a serene primary bedroom, and a full-size private office that can easily be converted into a third bedroom. The formal dining room connects to a generous serving area with wet bar and wine refrigerator, while a windowed, fully equipped kitchen with vented washer/dryer is tucked down the hall.
