Property Description for 1165 Fifth Ave, 15-B
Panoramic views, incredible light, a generous and flexible layout, all contribute to making this high floor Carnegie Hill 9-room pre-war apartment exceptionally appealing. One enters the apartment through a small foyer leading to a gracious gallery giving access to all the main rooms. To the west is a bedroom corridor leading to three bedrooms including the corner master bedroom with exciting sweeping Central Park views extending from the reservoir to the George Washington Bridge. This room has an en suite bathroom that connects it to another bedroom facing the park. A third bedroom, also accessed from the bedroom corridor, has a bathroom that connects it to the fourth bedroom (or library). There is the potential to add another bathroom with board approval. The large living room, at the east end of the gallery, has a wood burning fireplace and two large windows facing north. This elegant reception room has direct access to both the library (fourth bedroom) and the formal dining room which is serviced by a butler's pantry with the original cabinetry. The large eat-in kitchen has a Garland stove and a window facing south thereby flooding the space with light. Two maid's rooms (one converted into an office, the other into a laundry room) are connected by a bathroom. 1165 Fifth Avenue, located on 98th Street, is a full service, white-glove building. A large storage bin in the basement is included in the sale of this property. Gym in the building.

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.
