Property Description for 785 Fifth Ave, 12-AB
Situated in a prime Fifth Avenue location between The Pierre and Sherry Netherland Hotels in the coveted stretch of Fifth Avenue known as "The Gold Coast", Apartment 12AB at 785 Fifth Avenue offers over 100 feet of rarely available direct Central Park views over the treetops that include the best corner of the park with the pond in Spring, the kaleidoscopic treetops in Fall, and the Wollman Skating Rink in Winter.
12AB is a bright, spacious, corner apartment currently configured as six bedrooms (five bedrooms and a study/bedroom) with four full baths and a powder room. The apartment offers a unique opportunity to own and customize a space with breathtakingly expansive views of Central Park from oversized windows in the living room, library and three bedrooms that face west onto Fifth Avenue. Two north bedrooms have angled Park views and views of Stanford White’s iconic Metropolitan Club, and the corner principle bedroom has particularly incredible panoramic west and north views of Central Park.
The living and entertaining spaces have wide entrances and hallways, arched doorways and many bookshelves, giving the apartment charm and intrigue. Additionally, there is a spacious kitchen that offers a professional quality Garland range with two ovens, abundant cabinetry and counter space, and a lovely island with stools. Adjacent to the kitchen is a formal dining room. Of the five bedrooms, the two largest contain roomy, en-suite bathrooms featuring both bathtubs and showers. There is abundant closet space through the apartment, including three walk-in closets as well as a “night” galley kitchenette at the north end of the apartment.
The Parc V, designed by acclaimed architect Emory Roth and built in 1963, is one of Fifth Avenue's most prestigious white-glove co-operative buildings. Amenities include an exceptional full-service staff, live-in super, fitness center, and parking. Pied a terres are permitted but pets are not. The quintessential location is in close proximity to some of New York's finest restaurants and boutiques including Harry Cipriani and Bergdorf Goodman, among many others.

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.
