Property Description for 880 Fifth Ave, 17-A
Perched on a high-floor at Fifth Avenue and 69th Street this 1 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom home is open and airy and has been perfectly maintained by the sellers since its transformation.
Gorgeous Southern and Eastern light streams in through the living room and captivates from the moment you walk through the foyer. The windowed kitchen offers honed granite counter tops, Miele refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher, Bertazzoni stove, a professional chefs sink and ample custom cabinetry. A custom built bar, with Liebherr wine cooler and accent lighting, has plenty of hidden storage as well as exposed glass shelving. The renovation included everything from new city quiet windows to HVAC system, hardwood floors, custom finishes, built-in wood bookshelf and top-of-the-line appliances throughout. One room flows seamlessly into the next with the exception of the perfectly positioned, private, master suite.
The large master bedroom offers Northern exposure and an Eastern window. The en-suite windowed bathroom is pristinely clad in Carrara marble, custom-built cabinetry and a glass door shower with the option to add a steam shower with board approval. Ample closet space including a generous walk-in closet off of the foyer, powder room and separate laundry closet.
Located across the street from Central Park, 880 Fifth Avenue is Emery Roth's premier twin towered cooperative on the East side that boasts a gorgeous marble and glass lobby and meticulously maintained interior garden. A remarkably high staff to resident ratio, live-in resident manager, three elevator banks, a separate entrance onto 69th Street and a 24-hour attended parking garage with discounts to shareholders at a rate of $495 per month. One of the finest coop gyms in the city. 880 Fifth is a debt free building with no deferred maintenance and allows up to 50% financing. Pied-a-Terre ownership is permitted. Regrettably, no dogs. Though this home has a W/D, the building also offers a professional air conditioned laundry room. The use of a storage unit is included.

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.
