Property Description for 1040 Fifth Ave, 7/8B
THE FIFTH AVENUE HOME YOU HAVE BEEN DREAMING OF...
Make this special, beautifully maintained 10-room, 4 1/2 bath apartment with mesmerizing views of Central Park your forever home at the historic 1040 Fifth Avenue Cooperative. This lovely and expansive beauty retains its original, elegant duplex layout by celebrated architect, Rosario Candela. The marble-floored central gallery on the 7th floor leads to all formal entertaining rooms, a powder room, and a graceful, curving staircase to the bedroom quarters on the 8th floor.
The opulent, yet timeless formal rooms feature herringbone floors, high ceilings and gracious proportions. The sunny, grand living room and adjacent, handsome, wood-paneled library both feature fireplaces and face west with direct Central Park views and breathtaking sunsets. Off of the east side of the gallery, the large dining room was designed for hosting dinner parties. It connects to the pantry with charming Shaker-style cabinetry and passes through to the spacious, windowed eat-in kitchen, ready to be updated and transformed into your dream kitchen. A second back staircase leads from the rear of the kitchen to the 8th floor.
Up the front staircase with wrought-iron handrail, a central landing connects to the three large bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom. The west-facing primary and second bedrooms enjoy sweeping park views and the third, east-facing bedroom is especially quiet and secluded. Down a corridor to the rear of the home, two smaller rooms are located along with a shared fourth full bathroom, and a kitchenette. Originally staff rooms, each smaller room would work well as a nursery, office, guest room, or nanny's room.
Constructed in 1930, 1040 Fifth Avenue is one of the most exclusive, white glove cooperatives on Fifth Avenue. This regal limestone building was once home to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and is one of the architectural masterpieces on the Upper East Side. Spend your free time walking in Central Park, shopping on Madison Avenue or exploring the Metropolitan Museum of Art just one block away. Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to own a special piece of New York history.
Please note that financing is not permitted and there is a 2% flip tax paid by the purchaser.

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.
