880 5TH Avenue #3F

The triple exposures and 53' of Central Park frontage captivate from the moment one sets foot in this sun flooded classic eight. You and your guests will enjoy this unique and magnificent loft-like living experience. The welcoming entry gallery with powder room and coat closet, sets the stage for what is to come. The current owner's meticulous renovation includes what is the crowning glory of this apartment and the only one of its kind at 880 Fifth Avenue: a truly "great room." This inviting and commanding space offers a wall of large picture windows with direct Park views, a South facing window with views to Grand Army Plaza and a North facing window with views to the Metropolitan Museum. The windowed kitchen with custom cabinetry, and Viking appliances, can either be opened to the great room or closed by way of pocket doors and latched wood panels over the breakfast bar. The unusually large master bedroom suite is adjoined by a generous home office with pocket doors, abundant closet space and en suite master bath. There are three additional bedrooms and two and a half additional baths. The full-sized washer/dryer is housed in a separate laundry area. Lutron window treatments, thermopane windows and ever so many thoughtfully conceived extras will add to your enjoyment of this home. 880 Fifth Avenue, built by famed architect Emery Roth, is a premier cooperative. This debt-free building enjoys a longstanding reputation for extraordinary service and amenities that include a 24-hour garage with reduced shareholder rate ($495/month), concierge, attended elevators and a beautiful gym with a Pilates and a yoga area. There is a central laundry room and the use of a storage bin transfers with the apartment. Pied-a-terres are permitted though regrettably dogs are not. The building allows up to 50% financing.
