Property Description for 795 Fifth Ave, 3804

Spectacular, rare high floor corner apartment in the tower with dazzling direct Central Park views from all rooms in the legendary former home of Yves St. Laurent and Pierre Berge, later owned by Valentino co-founder Giancarlo Giammetti, and most recently by designer Tomas Maier. With soaring 11' ceilings and grand scale rooms floating above the city and Central Park, this is surely the most special two-bedroom residence in Manhattan. Extraordinary light fills this apartment at all hours of the day; at night there are the city lights twinkling all around. Originally created by three of the world's most well-known interior designers, working together in a most unusual situation, Jacques Grange, Jed Johnson and Peter Marino produced a masterpiece. Recently, Peter Marino renovated the home to the most exacting specifications, blending the original details with today's lifestyle expectations. It is the ultimate in luxury, quality and style.

Enter the apartment through an elegant wood paneled and mirrored foyer which leads into the gracious gallery, a room in itself, setting the stage for the breathtaking 32 foot living room and its views. The views extend both west over the Park to the Hudson River and north over the Park to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and onwards to the George Washington Bridge over 8 miles away. At night one can see the planes taking off and landing at LaGuardia Airport in the distance to the east.

The two generously sized bedrooms have built in black out shutters, en suite marble baths and dressing rooms with hand tooled leather detailing. One of the bedrooms has hidden pocket doors which can be opened up to the living room and can also function as a library or home office. There are floor to ceiling lighted double bookcases facing both the living room and this bedroom.

Additional features include:
custom designed lighting for art in every room
custom designed hardware and hinges throughout,
sound system,
top of the line finishes and details throughout

Centrally located on Fifth Avenue and 61st Street, near the finest shopping, museums and restaurants that New York has to offer, residents of the Hotel receive full time hotel services, a dedicated management team, twice daily maid service, monthly deep cleaning, a chauffeur-driven Jaguar XJL (based on availability), valet parking and many other benefits. There is a fitness center, hair salon, several on site restaurants, and 24 hour room service. Pied-a-terres, foreign and corporate purchasers are welcome. There is an assessment of $4673 in place until October 2022. There is also a monthly Capital Fund charge of $1369.90.

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.
