Rare Central Park Facing Corner Residence at The Pierre, Designer Ready with Pre-War Scale and Proportion Throughout
This eighth-floor residence features iconic views of Central Park and the Upper East Side, with natural light from its North, West, and East-facing exposures, perfectly framed by updated large windows throughout, along with high ceilings and scale only an iconic pre-war Fifth Avenue building such as The Pierre can provide.
The current layout features a foyer leading to a curvilinear gallery that opens to a corner grand room with beautiful direct views of Central Park. Measuring almost 27 ft wide, the grand room is designer/decorator-ready, with beautiful architectural moulding and features. The formal entertaining and private areas of this residence are separate. The corner primary bedroom suite faces North and East, with a large sleeping area, walk-in closet, en-suite bath with separate tub and shower, and an adjoined large windowed dressing area/office. The second bedroom faces north and has direct access to the great room. This residence has an expansive galley-style kitchen with updated appliances, a secondary bath, an additional walk-in closet, and a rare in-unit washer and dryer.
Residence #812 at The Pierre offers the opportunity to bring your designer/decorator and create your vision in one of The Pierre's most desirable two-bedroom configurations.

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.
