Property Description for 955 Fifth Ave, 7-A

Chic Modern Fifth Avenue For those who require the best in everything, Residence 7A at 955 Fifth Avenue is a must-see. With over 2,300 square feet of graceful spaces that flow, sweeping Central Park views and an impeccable modern renovation, this luxurious home invites you to enjoy the good life. Architecture and design studio Stonefox renovated the apartment with the most beautiful materials and latest technology while building on the modern minimalism originally created by the design world darling of the ‘70s-'80s, Ward Bennett. A unique layout at 955 Fifth, 7A is currently set up as a glamorous one bedroom home. If this suits your needs, just bring your suitcase. If you are looking for additional bedrooms and baths, they can easily be added back. Please see the two alternate floor plans for some ideas based on where these rooms and bathrooms were originally located. The grand double living room with almost 30 feet of Central Park frontage, has two extra-large picture windows which fill the space with sunlight. A wood burning fireplace, dual seating areas, and discrete recessed art lighting, create the perfect room for relaxing and entertaining. The dining room with a distinctive Candela curved wall and window allows for elegant or informal dinners. The luminous new kitchen with Celador countertops, Imperial Vermont Danby marble backsplash, and top appliances is a dream to cook in. The breakfast room / study with eastern views of the Carlyle Hotel could easily be converted back to a bedroom if so desired. The sumptuous bedroom suite features cerused oak millwork in the dressing rooms and a luxurious en-suite bathroom clad in honed Olympia White Vermont Danby marble. Additional elements include a marble guest half bath (which could be converted to a full bath), washer/dryer, Lutron lighting, motorized shades, and all new electrical and AV wiring. Built in 1938, 955 Fifth Avenue is an elegant and intimate Rosario Candela designed, pre-war co-op with full service and amenities: 24-hour doormen, resident building manager, landscaped roof terrace with stunning views of Central Park and the cityscape, well-outfitted gym, and bike storage. A private storage room transfers with the apartment. Pets, and up to 50% financing are permitted. 3% flip tax paid by the purchaser. 955 Fifth Avenue is located between 76th and 77th streets in the most fabulous part of the Upper East Side near wonderful restaurants, Madison Avenue shopping, the Frick Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and of course Central Park.

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.
