Property Description for 1049 Fifth Ave, 10-A

Rare prewar condominium corner residence with direct Central Park and Reservoir views, featuring a gracious 2,691 sq. ft. floor plan comprised of 3-4 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, a formal dining room, library, and a windowed eat-in kitchen, located in full-service building.

An entry gallery leads to the sprawling corner living room with gorgeous views of Central Park and the Reservoir through oversized picture windows that infuse the rooms with abundant natural light, and has beautiful, vintage thin-plank herringbone floors. The living room connects directly with the north-facing formal dining room through a large framed doorway, creating a natural flow that is perfect for entertaining. Adjacent to the dining room, there is a spacious windowed eat-in kitchen with polished granite floors, counters and backsplash, wood-and-glass cabinetry with ample storage, and a double-sink, as well as trusted appliances, including SubZero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, stainless steel cooktop, and wall-mounted oven. There is also a butler's pantry with excellent storage.

Flanking the living room there is a library with rich, mahogany-paneled walls, and Central Park perfectly framed by the oversized window. This library has a full marble bathroom with shower stall, making this an easily-converted 4th bedroom with en suite bathroom.

The separate bedroom wing has three other spacious, west-facing bedrooms with en suite baths, including a corner primary bedroom suite with West and South exposures, featuring a walk-in closet, built-in storage, and a large windowed marble bathroom with oversized window, a soaking whirlpool tub, separate stall shower, double-sink marble vanity, and built-in speakers.

The apartment also comes with two deeded storage units. Other features include a dedicated laundry closet with LG vented washer & dryer, herringbone wood floors throughout, HVAC system, recessed lighting and built-in speakers throughout, crown and baseboard moldings, custom built-in shelves, storage and millwork.

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.
