Property Description for 1040 Fifth Ave, 5/6C
Perfectly situated in the premier white-glove Rosario Candela co-operative, 1040 Fifth Avenue, this palatial sun-flooded twelve room duplex is a true architectural masterpiece. Drenched in sunlight, the residence boasts spectacular Central Park views, original herringbone floors, Candela doors and moldings, soaring ceilings, a wood burning fireplace and an abundance of classical historical details.
Off a semi-private elevator landing is an elegant entrance gallery from which all of the grand entertaining rooms flow. There is an impressive 29’4” by 19’ living room which has two oversized windows facing west with picturesque views of Central Park and a wood burning fireplace. Adjacent to the living room is the handsome wood-paneled library which also overlooks the park. Through French doors off the gallery and living room is the formal dining room which provides the perfect space for gatherings. There is an oversized windowed eat-in kitchen with a separate windowed breakfast room. A large windowed butler's pantry connects the kitchen to the dining room for endless entertaining. A powder room and a walk-in coat closet complete the public spaces.
As for the private quarters, up a sweeping staircase is the expansive master bedroom suite which faces west with stunning views of Central Park and peaks of the reservoir. The suite includes large closets and an en-suite oversized bathroom. There are two additional massive bedrooms – one faces west over Central Park and the other faces east – both have en-suite windowed bathrooms and excellent closet space. There are two oversized staff rooms that could be combined to create a fourth bedroom, they are currently being used as a utility room and a home office. In addition there is a large staff bedroom and a windowed hallway bathroom. A back staircase connects to the kitchen and the elevator services both floors.
Built in 1930, 1040 Fifth Avenue houses only twenty-seven apartments, and has had many prominent residents, including the late Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. The building offers residents the highest levels of white-glove service and enjoys close proximity to the city's greatest museums along with an impressive concentration of galleries, elegant boutiques, five-star restaurants and schools.

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.
