Property Description for 1170 Fifth Ave, 13-B
Unobstructed Central Park and Reservoir Views are just part of what makes this classic 9 (now 8) a spectacular residence. Only two owners have occupied this home since it was built in 1926 by legendary architect J.E.R. Carpenter. After arriving at the semi-private elevator landing, you enter a 26 gallery. An elegant introduction to all that follows. Foremost, a 24 living room with wood burning fireplace. A room dominated by breathtaking Park views as seen through oversize windows. These glorious views, plus additional southern views also framed by oversize windows, are enjoyed from the adjacent library. A room that features an elegant pocket door at the entry, ample storage, floor to ceiling bookcases and upholstered window seats. This room has access to a full bath so it could also serve as a fourth bedroom.
At the other end of the gallery are a set of glass paneled French doors. These doors open to a banquet sized formal dining room with an additional entrance to the kitchen. The eat-in-kitchen is exceptionally large with great potential to customize. It features an enormous walk-in pantry and a conveniently located washer and dryer. Originally, off the kitchen were two adjacent maids rooms. One maids room was later used to enlarge the kitchen area by the addition of a breakfast room. The remaining maids room and bath is still intact and could also function as a home office. There are new windows in the kitchen breakfast area and in the dining room,
All three bedrooms have bright southern exposures. The master suite with its windowed bath is exceptionally large and has abundant closet space. The two additional bedrooms with their en-suite windowed baths are also large with ample closet space. The windows in the bedrooms and baths are new and there is a brass towel rod original to the apartment in each of the bathrooms
This sun-drenched apartment is graced with high 9 plus ceilings, beautiful oak floors and classic pre-war scale. It comes with separate storage space and the building has a gym and bicycle room.
1170 Fifth Ave. is located in the very desirable Carnegie Hill neighborhood, across form Central Park on Museum Mile. It is home to some of the citys best schools, Mt. Sinai Medical Center plus charming restaurants and specialty shops.

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.
