Property Description for 795 Fifth Ave, 29-FLR

A diamond in the sky, the Pierre Hotel's 29th floor residence comprises magnificent rooms polished with the rarest of finishes. Natural light breezes through this gracious four bedroom home, and every window offers unparalleled, picturesque views. Designed by Schultze & Weaver, and erected in 1929, the prestigious blond-brick Pierre Hotel peers over Central Park with unmatched pedigree. This full-floor co-op epitomizes luxury living and embodies all elements required of a timeless trophy property.

The elevator doors open to a spacious private entry foyer, composed of marble imported from France with a wrought-iron double door with etched-glass inlays. Upon entering, a formal gallery spans the width of the home, creating an opportune place to display treasured works of art. The living room and separate formal dining room feature tasteful accents, including hand-scored Venetian plaster dusted with mother of pearl accents, custom crystal light fixtures, and handmade, one-of-a-kind wallpaper. Crystalline accents continue in the stunning paneled library with a sculptural crystal chandelier - a work of art, in itself. An adjacent corner sitting room can easily function as a den or a guest bedroom. Rounding out the rooms of this wing is a large powder room and an additional guest bedroom, complete with an accompanying bathroom lit by a breathtaking Baccarat fixture.

To the right of the entrance, the recently-expanded dine-in kitchen accommodates lively activity. From the spacious central island to the milk glass and nickel cabinets, functional, modern attributes meet serene design. All appliances are brand new and top-of-the-line. A hidden door between the kitchen and dining room allows for easy entertaining. Nearby, another guest bedroom features Central Park views and an en-suite bath with rare onyx accoutrements. Ample closet space abounds.

Nothing compares to the master bedroom suite, which features a sitting room, multiple walk-in closets and two distinct, expansive bathrooms. The "his" option partners all-black wood walls with heated marble floors and mother-of-pearl inlay. The "her" bathroom is bathed in light from two walls of windows, and boasts gorgeous details including hand-designed shower mosaics, expansive mirrored built-ins, and a large marble vanity. As for the bedroom itself, elegant paneling conceals storage space everywhere, and large windows offer two exposures, with panoramic views of Central Park to the North. The master suite comprises the entire East Wing, and its distance from the social spaces in the home offers utmost privacy and unbroken quiet.

Under current ownership, all rooms were repurposed and enlarged to create a gracious, flowing layout. Each attributes calls for pause and appreciation - from the ornamental fireplace, to the antique Murano glass fixtures and hand-crafted custom woodwork. An opportunity like this rarely surfaces. And, of course, white-glove services - including twice-daily maid visits and 24-hour Concierge - underscore it all.

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.
