Property Details
Description
Apartment 12 at esteemed 1020 Fifth Avenue is a full floor home with approximately 3500 square feet comprised of nine rooms with stunning open views in four directions including Central Park, and the Metropolitan Museum.
1020 Fifth was completed in 1925 and was designed and built by Warren and Wetmore- most notable for their work as the co-architects of Grand Central Terminal and many noteworthy properties in New York and beyond. 1020 is one of a very few Fifth Avenue co-ops with one home per floor, to ensure that one has the feeling of living in a private home- with full service convenience and security.
The 12th floor is notable for its antique English paneled library with wood burning fireplace overlooking the Park, oblong grand foyer, and gracefully curved living room- offering distinctive and unique architecture. Above all, the 12th floor has the distinction of four open exposures offering beautiful natural light at every time of day, and glorious views.
A private elevator landing brings you to a salon sized entry foyer - to the north- a corner formal dining room with Park views and a wood burning fireplace, is graciously proportioned for formal dining.
To the south, the 27 foot long living room offers Park and Museum views and is the ideal environment for entertaining with multiple seating areas. To the west, the handsome corner English wood paneled library with wood burning fireplace is a true sanctuary- showcasing picture postcard Park and Museum views. A discreet powder room completes the public rooms of this home.
The bedroom wing to the south, east and north includes a 31 foot long double primary suite with wood burning fireplace, dressing room, and en-suite marble bathroom. Formerly two bedrooms now combined to create a grand suite- it may again become two bedrooms each with en-suite baths creating a four bedroom home. Two additional bedrooms have two private baths and wonderful natural light and city views.
The spacious kitchen features lovely northern city views, vented stove, endless storage and pantry space, and will easily accommodate a dining banquette.
Additional features of this sumptuous home include central air conditioning, restored herringbone flooring, impeccably maintained millwork and plasterwork, and a separate windowed laundry room.
1020 Fifth Avenue features 13 apartments over 14 floors, and provides the service of 24 doormen, resident manager, and porters, to provide gracious service to its shareholders. Please note that a 2% flip tax is payable by the purchaser and financing is not permitted and pets are welcome.
