The crown jewel of Carnegie Hill at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 92nd Street, 1107 Fifth Avenue stands as one of the neighborhood's most esteemed prewar cooperatives-a shining example of timeless architecture and refined design. Poised directly across from Central Park and the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, this iconic building commands one of the most picturesque stretches of the Upper East Side.
Residence 6N is an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind home. Originally ten rooms and now nine, the apartment entry is a grand 24-foot gallery accessed from a private elevator landing. At its heart lies an expansive, 30-by-36-foot double living room-formerly two distinct spaces-now seamlessly combined into a magnificent entertaining salon with four oversized picture windows framing sweeping views of Central Park.
The corner primary suite is equally impressive, spanning 27 feet along Fifth Avenue and offering breathtaking views both West, over the Park, and North. This serene retreat features a graciously proportioned primary bathroom, generous closet space, and extensive storage.
Off the main gallery lies a formal dining room and powder room, a large butler's pantry, a fully appointed country kitchen, and a spacious breakfast room. The residence offers a total of four bedrooms, a library, staff room/office, and multiple baths configured en-suite or Jack-and-Jill style. Additional features include a laundry room, multi-zone central air conditioning, elegant lighting, and abundant sunlight throughout the day.
Steeped in rich history, 1107 Fifth Avenue was completed in 1925 on the former site of Marjorie Merriweather Post's celebrated mansion. At Ms. Post's request, the building's top three floors were designed to recreate the interiors of her original home, culminating in a palatial 54-room penthouse accessed via private elevator. That storied space has since been transformed into a collection of beautifully appointed residences.
Situated within the city's premier private school district, the building offers its resident-shareholders unparalleled access to world-class museums, luxury boutiques, gourmet markets, fine dining, acclaimed galleries, top-tier medical care, and Central Park's famed jogging path.
Building amenities include a first-class resident manager, full-time doormen and elevator operators, an exceptional fitness center, bike storage, and a spectacular rooftop garden fully furnished and overlooking the Park. Pets are welcome and there's a 2% building flip tax payable by the purchaser.
