Property Description for 1035 Fifth Ave, 8-C

11 Rooms of Fifth Avenue Elegance Overlooking Central Park

An extraordinary 11 room, formerly 12 room, residence has become available at 1035 Fifth Avenue-a pre-war (1926) J.E.R. Carpenter-designed building. This handsome building, in the style of an Italian Renaissance Palazzo, is one of Fifth Avenue's finest white-glove cooperatives.

The private elevator landing opens into a large gallery that flows into the 30-foot corner living room with a wood-burning fireplace and breathtaking views of Central Park. To the left of the gallery, through a set of pocket doors, an 11.1 x 16.8-foot library overlooks The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and to the right, sits an elegant 16 x 19.6-foot formal dining room facing South. The serving pantry leads into a large eat-in kitchen followed by two staff rooms, each with private W.C. and sink plus bath. A separate laundry room completes this wing of the apartment. Four private chambers of the home along the Northern wing feature generous windows and bedrooms, and full bathrooms en-suite with an abundance of closets. Other building amenities include a newly built gym plus an additional private storage space on premises.

With expansive rooms, high ceilings, and fine pre-war details, every room enjoys grand proportions and natural light from the 26 windows throughout. This exceptional apartment offers a unique opportunity to create your dream home on Fifth Avenue.

Situated on Museum Mile between the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Jacqueline Onassis Reservoir at 85th Street, 1035 Fifth Avenue is in the heart of the culturally rich Upper East Side near many fine restaurants and schools and a stone's throw from some of the best shops and galleries in Manhattan. This cooperative offers the ultimate benefits of prime location, scenic views, abundant spaces and excellent building services that afford an oasis of privacy and gracious living on Fifth Avenue.

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.
