Property Description for 1215 Fifth Ave, 8-CD

An elevator opens into a key-locked, private entry vestibule welcoming you into this full-floor apartment in the north tower. A fully-renovated home in mint condition where luxury abounds with stunning views of Central Park from many of the major rooms. With four exposures, the beautiful tree-tops and colorful blossoms are mother nature's sublime artistic contribution to the designer details that prevail throughout the apartment, including art-deco moldings and Venetian plaster walls. The expansive formal living room with four large picture windows (manufactured by Hope's) facing west reveal the park in all its glory while the high-beamed ceilings and statuesque wood-burning fireplace complete the perfect space for entertaining on a grand scale. The spectacular views carry through to the formal dining room and are equally as breathtaking at sunset. A peaceful retreat, the master suite also showcases the Central Park views and features masterfully crafted built-ins and an oversized custom walk-in closet. You can escape to the spa in the luxurious Vitrolite tile and Terrazzo master bathroom with a deep soaking tub, double sink vanity, walk-in steam shower, and heated floors. But it's the park views that will transport you to another world. A culinary delight, the eat-in chef's kitchen is the heart of the home with an open design that includes a substantial casual dining/living and media area. Kitchen highlights are the sophisticated Terrazzo countertops, abundance of pantry storage cabinets, and high-end appliances: Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking oven and stove top, and Miele dishwasher. A coveted laundry room holds the side-by-side and full-size Miele washer and Asko dryer with a sink and storage. Plus there is a new state-of-the-art Lutron lighting system and Crestron integrated surround audio system with built-in speakers all through the apartment. Two oversized bedrooms and a second full bathroom complete the home. Through-wall AC's in every room and great closets throughout.

A pre-war treasure, the Brisbane House was developed and built in 1928 by distinguished journalist and columnist for Hearst newspapers, Arthur Brisbane, and designed by the renowned architectural firm Schultze & Weaver. The beautiful 16-story limestone-and-caramel-brick building boasts an elegant lobby and full-service amenities, including 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, private courtyard, fitness area, central laundry room, personal storage, bike storage, and pet-friendly attitude. The prestigious residence is situated across the street from the majesty of Central Park and along Fifth Avenue's infamous Museum Mile. This historic gem is an easy place to call home and the Upper East Side location is ideal. Schedule your private appointment today!

Upper East Side | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.

With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.

Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .

There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
