Property Description for 880 Fifth Ave, 6-K

Spacious and gracious 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom @ 880 Fifth Avenue!

Apartment 6K is an inviting 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, approx. 1,500 sqft., corner residence that was just refreshed in order to highlight its endless potential. Melanie Calder Russo of Calder Design Group created the included rendering, to scale, which further demonstrates how well this apartment lives. From the inspiring natural light, charming tree lined views South over the iconic 69th Street townhouses, to peek of Central Park to the West and amazing closet space, this apartment offers it all!

The current layout, which is as Emery Roth intended, is ideal for entertaining. The living room sits adjacent to the dining area and windowed kitchen which both flow from the entry gallery. While the kitchen is commodious, if one prefers an open-concept kitchen and dining area, this can be easily accomplished. The primary suite, with en suite windowed bathroom that includes both a soaking tub and stall shower, offers incredible closet space as well as double exposures - south and east. The second bedroom features double exposures and the most incredible wood paneling and shelving with custom crown modeling that is in pristine condition. A combined washer/dryer unit currently located in the kitchen.

880 Fifth Avenue, built as a cooperative by architect Emery Roth in 1947, is superbly located between 69th and 70th Streets and has a long standing reputation for extraordinary service. You will be welcomed home into an immaculately conceived Art Deco lobby flanked by a pristine garden. There is also an entrance to the building on 69th Street, adjacent to the valet parking garage (with discounted shareholder rate) that is attended for your convenience. Additional amenities include concierge, a professional laundry room, bicycle storage and a well-appointed gym. 880 5th has no underlying mortgage, the building permits up to 50% financing and purchaser pays 3% flip tax. The following are all permitted with board approval: pied-a-terres, pets including one dog per apartment, washer & dryer and purchase in the name of a trust. The use of a sizable storage bin conveys with purchase.

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.
