1170 5TH Avenue #4A

CENTRAL PARK AT YOUR DOORSTEP! 50 FEET OF FRONTAGE on Fifth Avenue and six huge windows LOOKING DIRECTLY AT CENTRAL PARK! Famed architect J.E.R. Carpenter designed this classic coop in the heart of Carnegie Hill, a premier residential neighborhood embracing the park, the reservoir, playing fields and many schools. This apartment exhibits Carpenter's signature style: grand scale entertaining rooms, high ceilings, gorgeous wood floors, generous closet space, and a flexible floorplan to fit any buyer's needs. This terrific 8 room apartment features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and two staff rooms. The apartment does need some updating but not a huge overhaul. Enter this sun-flooded apartment from its semi-private elevator vestibule into an enormous gallery - a room in and of itself. The grand living room is one of the many rooms with stunning views of Central Park and - when the leave fall- the iconic Central Park West skyline. The living room features a wood-burning fireplace, herringbone floors and tilt and turn windows with mirrored reveals. The corner primary bedroom and bathroom face west to the Park. The third bedroom, which is currently configured as a library, has French doors to the gallery but one could convert it easily back to a bedroom. There is a grand formal dining room which leads to the Butler's pantry and east-in kitchen. The kitchen has been updated and has some lovely cabinetry and a built-in corner bench. The two staff rooms are currently being used as a bedroom/office and laundry room with side by side washer/dryer. The original staff bathroom is now a power room. Private storage comes with the apartment. 1170 Fifth Avenue is a full-service luxury building built as a coop in 1926 and managed by Brown Harris Stevens. Services and amenities include full-time doormen, live-in resident manager, gym and bike room. Pets and pied-terres are allowed. 50% financing allowed and there is a 2% flip tax.
