Property Description for 1045 Fifth Ave, 9-B

Bring the Outside In

A home for the most ardent devotee of living with the glorious nature of Central Park and the Onassis Reservoir - Apartment 9B at the modernist co-operative 1045 Fifth Avenue, at 85th Street - is a dream come true.

A full curtain wall of glass slides effortlessly open to bring Central Park directly into your home. No other building on Fifth Avenue features an entire expanse of glass that creates such an exciting vista of the Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art - all from the perfect floor height. The 9th floor also has the distinction of offering higher ceilings than other units in the same line.

A formal foyer leads to a vast dining gallery and a double living/dining room overlooking the Park - a grand open space that is ideal for quiet relaxation in the blissful expanse of the Park and the Met, and a stunning setting for entertaining at sunset. A functional, updated kitchen features white lacquer cabinets, Rosso marble counters, and excellent cook space.

The bedroom wing includes an updated guest bathroom, a king-size primary suite with an updated marble bathroom, a guest bedroom or study, and extensive custom closets for all of one's necessities. This home has been freshly repainted, the floors have been refinished, and it is in pristine condition. It may also be renovated and reimagined to suit one's taste. This modern classic is a true opportunity for a discerning buyer.

1045 Fifth Avenue is a meticulously maintained and managed boutique co-operative with 15 units across 12 floors. It features the convenience of a full-time doorman, a wonderful resident manager, and attentive porters, and offers shareholders personal storage and laundry facilities. In-unit laundry may be added with board approval. 50% financing is permitted, and pets are welcome with board approval.

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.
