Description

Own a Full Floor of American History on Fifth Avenue: exceptional residence available for the first time in almost 60 years. Seventy five feet of unobstructed views overlooking all of Central Park unfold at this rare white-box opportunity, ideally situated in the heart of the most desired block on Fifth Avenue.


This storied home was acquired in 1963 by the 41st Vice President Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller. Mr. Rockefeller broke through the building's South wall and connected to 810 Fifth Avenue; installing a flight of six shallow steps to his home on the 12th floor. After his death in 1979, the apartments were re-divided and the 15th floor is now being offered for the first time since the original sale.


Situated on the 15th floor of the storied white-glove cooperative, this gracious 3,990 square foot gem boasts an expansive 295 square foot terrace. The generous light-filled interiors await your customization. Boasting 9 rooms, with 4 bedrooms and plans for a 5th, there are several floor plan possibilities available to suit your needs. Your private elevator opens into a spacious gallery introducing an upscale ambience for luxury living and entertaining.


A completely blank canvas, Residence 15 is the only apartment of its kind in the most sought-after residential building in Manhattan, affording picturesque tree-top views of Central Park and the option to tailor the layout to your heart's desire. There truly is nothing else like it, an oasis with so much potential on a grand scale, awaiting the discerning owner.


Built in 1963, and often referred to as the Rockefeller building, 812 Fifth Avenue is an exclusive boutique cooperative with only 30 homes, offering full-time doorman service, elevator attendants, a bell captain, and live-in resident manager. Other amenities include a laundry facility and common storage. This highly prized building pairs refined elegance with the exceptional amenities of Fifth Avenue right outside your door. The building permits 50% financing and pied a terres while electricity is included in the maintenance. Sorry, dogs are not permitted. 3% Flip Tax.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, 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.
