Property Description for 880 Fifth Ave, 3-B
Chic and sophisticated three bedroom home at 880 Fifth Avenue, an impeccably run full-service cooperative perfectly located on Fifth Avenue between 69th and 70th streets.
Meticulously renovated to the highest level and designed by renown decorator Paula Caravelli, this mint condition 7 into 6 room home is not to be missed.
All entertaining rooms are found off of a lovely and gracious entry gallery. This creates an ideal flow and airiness throughout the apartment. Facing the verdant views of Central Park, the living room is generously proportioned with custom built-in shelving and beautiful fireplace with marble mantle. The second bedroom (currently used as a library) is adjacent and also enjoys Park views and custom built-in cabinetry. The dining room, on the opposite side of the gallery from the living room, is both intimate and inviting. There is an entrance off of the kitchen for ease of serving but also a sight line through to the living room Central Park exposure. The windowed kitchen is masterfully designed to maximize counter and storage space and even has an eat-in area. An additional back hallway is built out with even more pantry storage.
The primary suite is tucked away off a discreet bedroom hallway allowing for upmost privacy. There is a walk-in closet and bathroom ensuite. The large third bedroom suite is located off the kitchen hallway. Every bathroom in the apartment has been exquisitely renovated with high-end fixtures and chic marble and stone finishes.
Raised door frames and perfectly skim-coated walls throughout add to the grand and refined feeling of the home. There is thru-wall air conditioning throughout as well as a washer and dryer.
880 Fifth Avenue is an exceptional full-service cooperative designed by famed architect Emery Roth and ideally located across from Central Park. Residents benefit from a gorgeous lobby and an array of amenities including full-time doormen and concierge, live-in resident manager, fully equipped gym, storage for each apartment, and direct access to a valet parking garage with reduced rates for shareholders. Shareholders also enjoy low maintenances (the building has excellent financials and has not increased the maintenance for three consecutive years). The building permits 50% financing and allows pied-e-terres, trust ownership, and pets on a case-by-case basis. 3% flip tax paid by purchaser.

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.
