Property Description for 965 Fifth Ave, 2-B

Best Value in the building and on Fifth Avenue! Central Park is your personal backyard in this gorgeous, modern 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom unit on Fifth Avenue. Enter this home through its grand foyer, wide enough to accommodate a sitting area, and pass through to the western wing of this gracious apartment. The spacious living room and primary bedroom both enjoy western exposures and overlook a view to dream of: Central Park East. A long hallway separated from the rest of the unit by a door and equipped with a huge walk-in closet leads to the primary bedroom and its adjoining bathroom, which contains a bathtub as well as a stand-up shower, affording maximum privacy and peace. Across the hall lies the second bedroom, commodious enough to fit a king-sized bed and then some. Eastern exposure bathes this room with morning light, as well as its ensuite bathroom, and plenty of built-in closet space will answer all your storage needs. The east wing of this amazing abode leads to an elegant formal dining room, with its floor-to-ceiling mirrored wall and marble sideboard. The third bedroom—which can be used as a home office—lies off the dining room and has its own complete bathroom too. The stylish, sleek kitchen is a black and white dream, designed with modern subway tiles throughout the space as well as the floor tiles. Bespoke kitchen fixtures elevate this broad eat-in kitchen, and a washer-dryer as well as abundant cabinet space round this kitchen off. The lucky owner of this elegant pre-war home, which was designed by Margon & Holder and Emery Roth, architects of the famed El Dorado, will also enjoy ownership of a large storage bin. Throughout this contemporary home, a special eye has been put on details and design, from the modern artwork to the oak herringbone hardwood floors, through to the original decorative living room fireplace. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a unique apartment on Central Park East’s iconic Museum Mile. For the first time in over a decade, an apartment on the coveted B line of the building is being offered for this competitive listing price. You will not find such excellent value for money. Located on what is fondly referred to as the Gold Coast of Manhattan, 965 Fifth Avenue is one of the finest white glove co-ops along eastern Central Park. Shareholders enjoy a full-time staff, a fitness center and bicycle room, as well as peace and quiet thanks to having only two apartments per floor. The neighborhood of the Upper East Side offers endless opportunities to enjoy culture, fine dining, shopping, and sightseeing. The world-famous Central Park, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum Mile, and the glorious boutiques of Fifth Avenue are all nearby. Plenty of art galleries, restaurants, and some of the city’s best schools are also just within reach. Pets are permitted and the building allows 35% financing. The flip tax is 2% of the purchase price to be paid by the buyer.

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.
