785 Fifth Ave, 10-C

An exceptional offering of a stunning, high-floor Fifth Avenue home with direct, unobstructed views of Central Park in an illustrious, white-glove cooperative on the coveted Gold Coast of the Upper East Side. Regally proportioned and beautifully appointed, Residence 10C at the Parc V is a grand residence of approximately 2,400 square feet boasting over 30 ft of contiguous park frontage. Originally a 6-room, 2-bedroom home with a service room, 10C now offers a massive double living room, a formal dining room, a library, an oversized windowed eat-in kitchen with a dining banquette and a decadent primary suite.

As you make your way through the gracious foyer atop polished black granite floors, your eyes are immediately drawn to the wall-to-wall picture windows in the living room that showcase breathtaking, iconic open views of Central Park, anchored by the Plaza Hotel and a glorious medley of prewar and modern architecture. The ceilings throughout the home rise approximately 10.5 ft, made intimate with tiered crown and base molding as well as gorgeous imported wide-plank herringbone white-oak floors. All of the millwork is breathtaking and includes an array of custom built-ins, paneled solid-core wood doors and meticulously carved embellishments in nearly every room.

Doubling the living room is additional lounging or entertaining space accented by a handsome custom book case as well as a built-in bar with overhead antiqued cabinetry and a distressed mirror facade. Immediately adjacent, a recessed library offers a cozy corner for both work and relaxation retaining sweeping views of the park and skyline of the West Side. The principle entertaining spaces are serviced by a glamorous powder room discretely located off of the gallery.

In the East wing, an expansive triple-windowed eat-in kitchen offers a large built-in banquette for casual meals and is clad in custom Pedini cabinetry in ash grey with black granite countertops and striking grey limestone floors with dramatic calcite veining.
