Boasting not one but two large terraces, with breathtaking Central Park and Manhattan Skyline views, this coveted home is one of a rare breed of terrace homes on Fifth Avenue. Having been in the same family for over 25 years and offering over 2500sf of living space, one is offered the incredible pallet to create the showplace of their dreams. With only two apartments per floor, one enters a massive great room with a wall of northern facing picture windows and a thirty-six-foot terrace with an expansive Park view, perfect for al fresco dining or cultivating one's inner gardener. Adjacent to the dining room is an eat-in windowed kitchen with an additional entrance to the north terrace, plus a sunny staff or guest bedroom and full bathroom. The original six-room configuration has been altered and is currently configured with a double primary suite (bedroom and sitting area) and two full bathrooms. This expansive home may easily be reconfigured to add an additional bedroom without compromising the integrity of the space. The bedroom wing also features a second terrace, facing Fifth Avenue, with picture perfect direct Central Park views.

Additional features of the home include stunning oak floors, central heat and thru-wall AC, several large custom closets, including an elegant dressing room closet with three-way mirror and an additional large walk-in. The apartment also features custom cove lighting, washer/dryer, electric shades, and a large private basement storage bin which transfers with the apartment sale. Built in 1955 with 18 floors and 32 units, 936 Fifth Avenue is one of the most coveted post-war Art Deco cooperatives, situated on the southeast corner of 75th and 5th Avenue, one of the prettiest blocks on Fifth Avenue.

It offers the services of a full-time doorman and elevator attendant, as well as an exceptional live-in Resident Manager. The building also has a recently renovated fully equipped gym and permits up to 50% financing, as well as pied-a-terre ownership and foreign buyers on a case-by-case basis. Sorry, dogs are not permitted. There is a 4% flip tax paid by the purchaser.
