Description

CENTRAL PARK VIEWS 4A at 870 Fifth Avenue is charming and spacious and full of lovely surprises. The square, formal entrance gallery opens west to a very wide, generous living room facing Central Park through new double glazed picture windows. The living room is large enough for two distinct seating areas. To the east of the foyer is an equally generous dining room facing the very pretty gardens of neighboring buildings. A windowed kitchen, also facing gardens, with full pantry and service door feels classic, cheerful and efficient. There are two large bedrooms and one smaller bedroom, all with ensuite baths. The Primary Suite faces West to Central Park and has a very generous walk-in closet. The second bedroom is wood paneled and faces gardens to the east, So elegant and charming it feels like a sweet hotel room in Europe. The third bedroom, also with full bath, could easily be an office or can be included into the kitchen as a breakfast room. There is a powder room just off the entrance gallery. This apartment shows beautifully. A happy, bright apartment with something pretty out every window. 870 is a beautifully run FIfth Avenue Co-op with a full staff. Pieds a terre allowed.

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.
