1136 5TH Avenue #10A

This is a classic 8 room, 3 bedroom apartment with spectacular views of Central Park and the Reservoir. The Living Room and each of the Bedrooms face West across the Park; the Master Bedroom, a corner room, also has a view up to the George Washington bridge. The kitchen and service area which includes 2 staff rooms and a breakfast area is particularly expansive. The space is very flexible allowing for multiple layouts including the creation of a large eat-in kitchen opening to the dining room (presently the library). Other features of the apartment include herringbone floors, a woodburning fireplace and three full bathrooms. This lovely residence is being offered for sale for the first time in over forty years. Bring your architect and create the home that you have always wanted. Designed by George F. Pelham and built in 1925, 1136 Fifth Avenue is one of the top white glove cooperatives in Carnegie Hill. The building features a live-in resident manager, full-time doorman and elevator man. The building permits financing up to 50% of the purchase price and there is a 2% flip tax paid by the seller.
