Every inch of this high floor corner apartment in a prestigious white glove co-op has been meticulously renovated to achieve an extraordinary modern designer home. If you want to live lavishly and entertain in style, this is the apartment for you! An oversized, gracious entry gallery (ideal for displaying your art) leads to a spacious sun flooded living room overlooking Central Park. The large, well-appointed chef's kitchen is truly state-of-the art and features gorgeous custom cabinetry, high end appliances as well as stunning countertops and backsplashes. Enjoy delicious meals and conversations in the adjacent dining room with European white oak floors. The private primary bedroom is perfect for relaxation against the backdrop of views of Central Park and the twinkling city lights, featuring a beautiful en suite bath, plus great closet space. The large secondary bedroom is also en suite. Sound resistant windows, Central Air Conditioning, a washer/dryer and a powder room complete this extraordinary residence.

With only two apartments per floor, there is a sense of privacy and intimacy.

Designed in 1938, 965 Fifth Avenue is a highly sought-after full-service building with impeccable staffing that includes a full-time doorman and a supremely attentive resident manager. Located in the heart of the Upper East Side's historic district, you are near Madison Avenue's best shops and restaurants. Ideally situated at Fifth Avenue and East 78th Street, you'll be a short stroll to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Guggenheim Museum and other area attractions, and of course Central Park is at your doorstep. This wonderful co-op enjoys a state-of-the art fitness center, a dedicated storage bin for each residence and bicycle storage. Pets are welcome.

Enjoy the picture postcard views of Central Park and such NYC landmarks as The Met, the art deco towers along Central Park West and Central Park South, plus the ever-changing NYC skyline. The sunsets are jaw dropping, rivaled perhaps only by the inspiring views of the city lights at night.

Please note: some photos have been staged to show how the apartment could look with wood floors for a more traditional look.

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.
