1030 Fifth Ave, 2-W

Perfectly situated in the premier white-glove J.E.R. Carpenter co-operative, 1030 Fifth Avenue, this extraordinary southwest corner twelve into ten room home has been beautifully renovated by Architectural Digest Top 100 interior designer Alex Papachristidis with Silver Lining executing the construction. Drenched in sunlight, the residence has 10'2" ceilings and picturesque views over Fifth Avenue of Central Park. There are four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and a powder room. Filled with prewar architectural details, there are two wood-burning fireplaces, enormous windows, and four-zone central air conditioning. This spectacular home is one of those rare residences that not only provides a grand space for entertaining but also has elegant private living quarters with all the comforts one could possibly hope for in a home.

The elevator opens onto a stunning entrance gallery off of which there is a powder room and a coat closet. All of the entertaining rooms are on Fifth Avenue with treetop views. In the center is a palatial living room with three oversized windows facing west that bathe the room with light as well as the first of two wood-burning fireplaces. To the south in the corner is a handsome wood-paneled library that also overlooks the Metropolitan Museum of Art and has custom built-ins. On the other side of the living room through French doors is a magnificent formal dining room that houses the second wood-burning fireplace. The windowed gourmet eat-in kitchen has been thoughtfully renovated with custom Poggenpohl cabinetry; it has a center island as well as a separate oversized breakfast room. Fitted with state-of-the-art appliances, the kitchen has a Subzero refrigerator, a Subzero freezer, a Miele dishwasher, a Viking double oven, a Viking wine refrigerator, a Garland six-burner range, and griddle, and two sinks. Off the kitchen is an entertainment/media room with built-in bookshelves as well as a separate laundry area with an LG washer and vented dryer. In this wing is a staff bedroom with an en-suite windowed bathroom.

The residence has a grand hallway that leads to the private quarters. The primary bedroom faces south and it has two large walk-in closets and an en-suite windowed bathroom with two sinks and an oversized steam shower. There are three additional large bedrooms which all face south and have excellent closet space as well as two additional full bathrooms. Two large hallway closets complete this glamorous home.
