Property Description for 1035 Fifth Ave, 16-B
This grand Fifth Avenue three bedroom apartment with spectacular Central Park views is in one of New York City's finest pre-war, white glove buildings. On the 16th floor, there is an immediate sense of elegance and old world grace to this home. The estate has been meticulously maintained, and the size and scale of the rooms are a signature of the renowned architect J.E.R. Carpenter. Perfect for entertaining as well as gracious every day living, the apartment has an open spaciousness and light that are welcoming at all times of the day.
The wide gallery leads to the 25 foot living room with a working fire place and extraordinary views that span north, west and south, overlooking the Reservoir and the roof tops of the Metropolitan Museum to the mid-town skyline. There is a bedroom wing with the master bedroom and an additional bedroom, each with ensuite bath, all enjoying the same glorious views. The rooms are very generous in size, and each has privacy. The third bedroom, also with its own windowed bath, faces east and is currently used as a study. The dining room, which can comfortably seat more than 30, also faces east and receives wonderful morning light. The eat-in kitchen, which is bright and enormous, is connected to the dining room by a large butler's pantry with substantial storage. There are also two service rooms and a full bath beyond the kitchen; one room is currently used as a small bedroom and one as an large laundry room. Each of these rooms and the kitchen have marvelous amounts of light, and space is abundant.
1035 Fifth, located between 84th and 85th Streets, is in one of New York's finest locations. The building has excellent service and is known for its particular elegance. Steps from Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum and the city's finest cultural institutions, restaurants and schools, the apartment, with its views, space, grace and charm, is not to be missed.

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.
