Property Description for 870 Fifth Ave, 14-E

A STUNNING FIFTH AVENUE ENTERTAINER'S DREAM WITH EXPANSIVE PRIVATE TERRACE

An extraordinary opportunity awaits at 870 Fifth Avenue: a spectacular home currently configured as a two bedroom, den/library, and two-and-a-half-bath residence with an expansive private terrace offering open views stretching from Billionaires Row to peeking into Central Park. Completely reimagined and redesigned in 2024 by internationally acclaimed AD100 designer Tony Ingrao, this home was gut-renovated from the ground up with no expense spared resulting in a seamless blend of timeless elegance and modern sophistication.

Inside, glamorous style meets thoughtful design. The expansive living and dining areas flow effortlessly across wide-plank white oak floors, illuminated by recessed Element lighting and anchored by a custom backlit onyx bar-a striking centerpiece for entertaining. The open-plan layout extends naturally to the vast terrace through 3 sets of French doors. This a truly rare Fifth Avenue sanctuary with endless possibilities for al fresco dining, lounging, and gatherings under the city skyline.

The king-sized primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with abundant storage, including a generous walk-in closet and custom built-ins. Its ensuite bath is spa-caliber, finished with quartzite countertops and a full five-piece Waterworks fixture set. The second bedroom with it's own ensuite gorgeous bathroom is in the private Northern wing of the home. The elegant private powder room-complete with a quartzite vanity, Cristal & Bronze fixtures, and a dramatic backlit decorative panel-provide both comfort and style. A large den/home office/3rd bedroom with bright east and north exposures offers complete flexibility.

The chef's kitchen is a true showpiece, marrying Hans Krug European cabinetry in wood veneer and lacquer finishes with marble countertops, Dornbracht fixtures, a Wolf gas range with vented hood, Sub-Zero refrigeration, and dual Cove dishwashers. Next to the kitchen is a large walk in laundry room with plenty of storage, and an additional pantry.

Modern systems elevate every detail of daily living: a five-zone HVAC system, vented kitchen and laundry, integrated Lutron lighting, and automated shades, and a Sonance in-ceiling sound system that extends throughout the residence. Every element has been carefully considered, delivering a truly turnkey home for the most discerning buyer.

870 Fifth Avenue is a distinguished white-glove cooperative offering full-time staff, a beautifully landscaped roof deck, fitness center, and impeccable service. Its prime location at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 68th Street places you moments from Central Park, world-class dining, cafés, boutiques, and cultural institutions.

A storage unit transfers with the sale.

Please Note: A 3% flip tax is paid by the seller.

This residence is more than an apartment-it is a private Fifth Avenue oasis.

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.
