Property Description for 857 Fifth Ave, 4-FLR
PRICED TO SELL. This spacious 9-Room residence occupies the entire Fourth Floor at the corner of 67th Street & Fifth Avenue. Magnificent tree-line views of Central Park and city skyline are captured from a 45-foot expanse of oversized windows fronting Fifth Avenue. This residence is truly unique because it marries modern aesthetics with a gracious traditional floorplan dividing the home into three distinct wings for living and entertaining.
One enters from a private elevator landing opening to a grandly proportioned Central Gallery from which the private and public wings of the home flow. A large 29' L-shaped Living Room also benefits from a wood burning fireplace and direct access a substantial loggia-style Terrace giving this home a unique indoor/outdoor flow such is rarely found. A wood-paneled Library features a fabulous wet-bar. Off the main Gallery is a well-proportioned Formal Dining Room connected to the Kitchen. A Powder Room completes the public wing of the home.
A long hallway lined with walk-in closets extends from the Gallery to the private quarters. A massive Master Bedroom Suite is like an apartment unto itself with substantial wardrobes, a marble Bathroom and views overlooking the elegant townhomes on this tree-lined street. Two additional Bedroom Suites include walk-in closets and en-suite bathrooms.
From the Central Gallery one accesses the heart of the home which brims with potential. Currently housing a windowed Eat-In Kitchen, a Pantry, 2 Staff Bedrooms and a full Bathroom, the space can be easily adapted for Laundry, a Breakfast Room or even a Home Office.
Built in 1963, this Mid-Century Modern building was designed by noted architect Robert L. Bien and houses just 17 apartments on 21 floors. The building has a 24-hour doorman and attended elevators. Flip Tax: 2% Payable by Buyer

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.
