Property Description for 781 Fifth Ave, 18-FLR
Commanding the entire 18th floor of the legendary Sherry Netherland Hotel, this extraordinary full-floor residence presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own an expansive, light-filled home with over 100 feet of direct Central Park frontage and breathtaking 360-degree views of the Manhattan skyline. From the iconic Grand Army Plaza to the architectural grandeur of The Plaza Hotel, the vistas are nothing short of cinematic-daylight pours in from all directions, and by night, the city glows in a spectacular display.
Spanning approximately 7,000 square feet, this distinguished high-floor simplex features three remarkable terraces facing west, south, and north, each offering a rare sense of openness and privacy atop one of New York's most storied addresses. An abundance of natural light, soaring proportions, and the unrivaled scale of this residence lay the foundation for an exceptionally elegant and personalized home.
Significant architectural preparation and partial demolition have been completed to provide a blank canvas on the northern side of the apartment. This sunlit expanse opens directly to the northern and western terraces, each framing unobstructed views of Central Park. Meanwhile, the southern portion of the residence retains its previously defined living areas, offering an intriguing blend of past elegance and future possibility.
The previous layout showcased five expansive entertaining rooms-all oriented toward the park-including a grand corner living room, a formal dining room, a richly appointed library with wet bar, and a sun-drenched den that accessed both larger terraces. Numerous bedrooms, dressing rooms, and eight bathrooms offered versatility and scale, perfectly accommodating both grand entertaining and intimate living.
There are two staff rooms on the 7th and 22nd floors that convey with the apartment.
This is a rare opportunity to create a showplace residence within one of Manhattan's most prestigious pre-war cooperatives. Residents of The Sherry Netherland enjoy an unparalleled suite of white-glove amenities, including 24-hour doormen and elevator attendants, daily housekeeping with evening turndown, full concierge services, valet parking, room service by Harry Cipriani, a fitness center, barber shop, and beauty salon. The building permits 50% Financing. There is a 2% flip tax paid by the purchaser.

Four+ Beds in Upper East Side
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.
