Description
Luxurious Duplex Residence with Direct Central Park Views on Museum Mile Welcome to 1215 Fifth Avenue, Apt. 12B/11A—a sprawling five-bedroom, five-bathroom duplex offering unparalleled luxury and comfort over 4,000 square feet of elegant living space. Situated directly across from Central Park on the prestigious Museum Mile, this expansive residence boasts eleven generously proportioned rooms designed for both lavish entertaining and serene daily living. Grand Entrance and Entertaining Spaces Enter through a formal gallery accessible via a semi-private vestibule, where you're greeted by solid oak floors, custom hand-crafted wallpaper, gold leaf ceilings, and a welcoming wet bar—setting the tone for the opulence that awaits. The gallery seamlessly flows into a sun-drenched corner living room featuring oversized windows with breathtaking west and south-facing views of Central Park. This magnificent space is further enhanced by a working fireplace, providing a warm and inviting ambiance. Adjacent to the living room, the expansive dining room spans over 22 by 15 feet, offering the perfect setting for grand dinner parties. Guests will be captivated by the sweeping park and reservoir views that serve as a stunning backdrop. Chef's Kitchen and Private Retreats The windowed eat-in kitchen is a culinary masterpiece, equipped with custom cabinetry, rich green marble countertops, and top-of-the-line appliances—including a SubZero refrigerator, two wine fridges, a six-burner Viking stove, and a vented hood. A fully intact staff room with custom built-ins, a day bed, and an en-suite bath provides additional convenience. The comfortable library off the gallery features floor-to-ceiling custom built-ins and oblique park views. An exquisite marble-clad full bath doubles as a powder room for guests. This versatile space easily converts to a generous fifth bedroom if desired. Completing the upper level is the incomparable primary suite—a sanctuary with oblique park views, two luxurious marble en-suite baths, a spacious custom-fitted walk-in closet, and a separate area ideal for a home office. Lower-Level Family Living A handsome, wide staircase leads to the lower level, where you'll find a family or media room, an additional home office, and three bedrooms—including one with an en-suite bath. Two fully renovated full baths and a windowed laundry room with a full-sized vented washer/dryer and incredible storage complete this level. Exquisite Details and Building Amenities This magnificent home features through-the-wall air conditioning, period-appropriate moldings, pristine solid wood floors, recessed lighting, and an abundance of storage with 14 closets throughout.
