Property Description for 936 Fifth Ave, PH-A

Perched atop 936 Fifth Avenue, this recently updated three-bedroom penthouse is a true gem, offering unparalleled Central Park vistas and an abundance of natural light. The fully renovated, duplex spans 3,800 square feet of exquisite interior space, complemented by over 2,400 square feet of private outdoor terraces.

A private elevator opens directly onto the 18th floor, where you're greeted by a stunning marble-clad gallery with double height ceilings and a sweeping marble staircase. The residence features a series of lush, landscaped wrap-around terraces that enhance every principal room with green, panoramic views.

The grand living room is a highlight, boasting a bay window with sweeping westward views over Central Park and expansive northern and southern vistas. The elegant formal dining room impresses with its parquet de Versailles flooring and exquisite boisserie. A floor to ceiling corner window was just added in a recent renovation, offering open Eastern exposures. Adjacent to this is a sun-drenched breakfast room with heated floors, and folding glass doors opening to the Southern terrace. The entire first floor boasts soaring 10'+ ceilings throughout.

The chef's kitchen is a culinary dream, outfitted with custom-designed Bulthaup cabinetry, a large Wolf stove, Miele ovens, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator, all framed by open, airy views. A stylish powder room completes the public spaces.

The main bedroom suite, located on the lower floor, offers stunning Central Park views and direct terrace access. Its spacious en-suite bathroom features heated marble floors, double sinks, a large soaking tub, and a shower, all finished in luxurious onyx. Additionally, there are two generously sized bedrooms on the first floor, each with en-suite bathrooms, ample closet space, large windows, and terrace access.

Upstairs, the library/media room is a standout feature, equipped with a surround sound system and blackout shades. It offers another bay window and three additional large windows with single-pane fenestration. This level also provides access to a west- and north-facing landscaped terrace, complete with a grill, refrigerator, and ice maker, ideal for al-fresco dining. The upper floor includes a staff room, a half bath, and a sizable outdoor laundry room.

The apartment is enhanced with five-zone central air conditioning, new windows and doors with insulated glass for soundproofing and weather resistance, a Crestron/Lutron system, as well as waterproofing and irrigation systems for the terraces.

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.
