Property Description for 955 Fifth Ave, 8-B
Within the walls of Rosario Candela's 955 fifth avenue, one finds on the 8th floor the perfect combination of view, style, location, and amenities.
The Master bedroom, in its airy elegance, and en-suite bath and closets afford a view of Central Park and the Central Park West Skyline, throughout the changing light of the day. Also on the Park, is the living room and the library, each with a wood burning fireplace.
The living room is accessed by a generous and gracious gallery, which also opens to a beautifully shaped dining room designed for 21st century living.
The dining room, with its beautiful eastern light, has a hydraulic dining room table which can be lowered for cocktails or which can rise for a seated dinner. A large screen on the northern wall of the dining room allows for enjoyment of your favorite Netflix shows or news channels but, with the press of a button, it will disappear for dinner.
A state of the art windowed kitchen provides plenty of counter space for food preparation and is light-flooded.
In the eastern most part of the apartment, one will find a large bedroom / study, a small study, and a full bathroom. As one proceeds to walk back through the apartment, towards Fifth Avenue, there is a striking view of the park from the dining room through the gallery to the living room. Just off the gallery, there is another en-suite bedroom and bath, which faces east towards the Carlyle.
If one wishes to enjoy the fresh air of New York City, the options are enormous. The first of which is to take the elevator to the shared roof terrace, where building residents may relax and enjoy a lovely view over Central Park. Then there is the opportunity to exit the building, through the intimate 1930's lobby. One may choose to walk north, to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, the Neue Gallery, and beyond. Or, one amy leave the building and head south and east to Madison Avenue to reach The Met Breuer and down the avenue to its many world class shops and restaurants. The third and most magical opportunity is to exit the building, cross Fifth Avenue, and enter Central Park into its myriad paths leading south to the Central Park Zoo, north to the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, or west to The Lake, The Loeb Boathouse, and the Park's other treasures.
On the other hand, if it is a cold or rainy day and exercise is needed, simply go to the building's wonderful new gym, for a workout.
If you are looking for the world's most varied and privileged lifestyle, you will find it at apartment 8B at 955 Fifth Avenue, in New York City.

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.
