FIFTH AVENUE DREAM
Enjoy Central Park views from this spacious 2bd/3 bath plus maid's room/home office within a classic prewar building in an unparalleled location!
Perched at the tree line on the 2nd floor, this lovely home enjoys unobstructed PANORAMIC VIEWS OF CENTRAL PARK. Move right in or tweak this lovely space to suit your taste. Located in a prestigious white glove co-op, you can have it all! If you want to live lavishly and entertain in style, this is the apartment for you!
An oversized, gracious entry gallery (ideal for displaying art, perhaps inspired by the current owner, and internationally renowned artist, or the neighboring museums along Fifth Avenue) leads to a spacious sun flooded living room overlooking Central Park and Fifth Avenue. The large, well-appointed and stylish chef's kitchen features ample cabinetry and counter space, including a separate wet bar, where you can create culinary masterpieces and luscious libations. Enjoy memorable meals and scintillating conversations in the adjacent dining room, which can easily seat 10-12. The private primary suite is perfect for relaxation against the backdrop of Central Park views, and features a beautiful en suite bath plus great closet space. The large secondary bedroom is also en suite. Off the dining room, what was originally a spacious maid's room and bath would be a serviceable third bedroom or a perfect, pin-drop-quiet home office. An in-unit washer/dryer, gorgeous oak herringbone floors, decorative marble fireplace, high ceilings and beautiful prewar-meets-modern details complete this special residence.
Simply stated, this apartment offers an unbeatable opportunity to purchase a gracious, renovated apartment of this calibre at a remarkable price point!
Please see the alternate floorplan to imagine other possibilities for the space (any renovations are subject to co-op approval).
With only two apartments per floor, there is a sense of privacy and intimacy that helps make this more than an apartment but a home.

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.
