Description

960 Fifth Avenue - 10 Room Duplex Maisonette


This impressively scaled and beautifully proportioned duplex maisonette is in one of Fifth Avenue's most prestigious cooperatives. This unique home is the epitome of gracious elegance and is also the perfect stage for an imaginative modern interpretation.


Upon entering there is an expansive gallery with its original black and white marble floors. Off of the gallery is a large, beautiful mahogany paneled library/dining room with fireplace. In addition, there is a huge eat-in chef's kitchen, powder and laundry rooms, a grand main staircase with wrought iron balustrades and a secondary back staircase, both leading to the upper floor.


The second floor, which can also be accessed by elevator, has an expansive hallway which leads to an elegant, very large living room with fireplace. The living room, as well as the sumptuous master suite, have pleasant, direct park views. The library/media room currently used as a bedroom, plus three smaller bedrooms with a bath and powder room complete this floor. These four bedrooms can easily be re-configured to be three bedrooms with en suite baths.

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.
