Property Description for 1016 Fifth Ave, 7-A
As Good As It Gets
Perfectly situated across from Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1016 Fifth Avenue is one of the most elegant cooperative buildings in Manhattan.
With nine sprawling rooms and three exposures, Apartment 7A evokes the grandeur of a bygone era. Tall ceilings, oversized windows with lovely views, and baronial room sizes make this apartment a special home.
Enter the gracious gallery, smartly designed for displaying art collections, from a newly decorated semi-private elevator landing.
An exceptionally large living room and a dining room that can seat 20 face onto the gorgeous trees and limestone facades of East 83rd Street. The east end of the gallery opens to a wet bar that leads to a breakfast room, chef's kitchen, laundry room, bathroom and two service rooms. From the west end of the gallery, a private wing houses three spacious bedrooms each with a windowed ensuite bath. One bedroom, outfitted with elegant paneling and bookcases, is used as a library. The two front bedrooms enjoy views of the landmarked facade of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as well as the Koch fountains and greenery of Central Park.
1016 Fifth Avenue is a prestigious 1926 apartment house designed to evoke an Italian Renaissance Palazzo. It has a stunning gray marble lobby, an attentive and professional resident manager and service team, a fitness room and private storage. There is a 3% flip tax paid by the seller. 50% financing and pets are permitted.

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.
