Property Description for 936 Fifth Ave, 15-B
Boasting not one but two large terraces, with breathtaking Central Park and Manhattan Skyline views, this coveted home is one of a rare breed of terrace homes on Fifth Avenue.
Having been in the same family for over 25 years and offering over 2500sf of living space, one is offered the incredible pallet to create the showplace of their dreams.
With only two apartments per floor, one enters a massive great room with a wall of northern facing picture windows and a thirty-six-foot terrace with an expansive Park view, perfect for al fresco dining or cultivating one's inner gardener. Adjacent to the dining room is an eat-in windowed kitchen with an additional entrance to the north terrace, plus a sunny staff or guest bedroom and full bathroom.
The original six-room configuration has been altered and is currently configured with a double primary suite (bedroom and sitting area) and two full bathrooms. This expansive home may easily be reconfigured to add an additional bedroom without compromising the integrity of the space.
The bedroom wing also features a second terrace, facing Fifth Avenue, with picture perfect direct Central Park views. Whether watching the mesmerizing beauty of the Park or the glamour of the Manhattan skyline, day or night, or beautiful sunsets, these incomparable views are one-of-a-kind.
Additional features of the home include stunning oak floors, central heat and thru-wall AC, several large custom closets, including an elegant dressing room closet with three-way mirror and an additional large walk-in. The apartment also features custom cove lighting, washer/dryer, electric shades, and a large private basement storage bin which transfers with the apartment sale.
Built in 1955 with 18 floors and 32 units, 936 Fifth Avenue is one of the most coveted post-war Art Deco cooperatives, situated on the southeast corner of 75th and 5th Avenue, one of the prettiest blocks on Fifth Avenue. This cooperative building is impeccably run and well managed, with an accommodative Board. It offers the services of a full-time doorman and elevator attendant, as well as an exceptional live-in Resident Manager. The building also has a recently renovated fully equipped gym and permits up to 50% financing, as well as pied-a-terre ownership and foreign buyers on a case-by-case basis. Sorry, dogs are not permitted. There is a 4% flip tax paid by the purchaser.
With Central Park, world class museums and dining, and all forms of culture outside your front door in an elegant and quiet neighborhood, it doesn't get much better than this anywhere in New York City.

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.
