Property Description for 781 Fifth Ave, 29-T
A sun-flooded, full-floor, tower residence at The Sherry Netherland with expansive views of Central Park and the Manhattan Skyline. Originally designed by renowned interior designer, Geoffrey Bradfield, this home is the epitome of elegance and sophistication.
A private, gilded landing greets you upon exiting the attended elevator on the 29th floor. Enter into the formal gallery to the grandly scaled Great Room. Fronting directly on Fifth Avenue and Central Park, this vast entertaining space faces North and West. Lying adjacent is the spacious dining room/library, clad in custom millwork. Concealed by the millwork, there is a door to the windowed kitchen with Central Park Views. Off of the kitchen is a full bath and the service entrance.
Completing the home are two bedroom suites tucked discreetly off the gallery. The corner, primary suite defines luxury with gracious proportions. Facing South and West, the primary bedroom and attached dressing room feature unobstructed views of Central Park. A walk-in-closet and marble bath complete the primary. Across the hall, with South facing views, is the second bedroom suite or office, clad in custom millwork, concealing its ample closets. A windowed dressing room leads to the ensuite marble bath.
This two bedroom/three and one half-bathroom full-floor tower residence is the ultimate home for an owner who wishes to enjoy the luxury of hotel living and services, while also owning a home with one-of-a-kind architectural significance and grandeur.
"One can literally 'Box the Compass' from the windows of this incomparable aerie..a cloud kingdom sequestered high above Manhattan." - Geoffrey Bradfield
The Sherry Netherland is a white-glove, pre-war, coop with 24-hour doorman and concierge, attended elevators, valet service, room service by the famed Harry Cipriani restaurant, extensive security, daily housekeeping including turn down service, and access to a pristine gym.

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.
