Property Description for 828 Fifth Ave, 5

Premier Location, Sensational Orientation

Along Fifth Avenue at the corner of 64th Street, building number 828 sits in perfect proximity to some of the most respected and influential global firms, the finest museums, dining, and retail options in New York, all with frontage on 843 acres of Frederick Olmsted and Calvert Vaux's masterpiece of urban landscape architecture, Central Park. Arsenal Gallery, a New York landmark that served as the first home of the American Museum of Natural History, now hosts several art and photography exhibitions annually. It is among the treasured views enjoyable from 828.

Perched on the fourth floor of a stunning Beaux-Arts Mansion built before the turn of the 19th century for coal baron James Berwind and converted to a co-op with full-time staff and flexible rules, this full-floor corner residence sits among Fifth Avenue's most exclusive pre-war addresses. Crossing into the building's elegant and intimate lobby on East 64th Street is to be transported to an era of historic craftsmanship and urban prosperity.

The flat itself (#5) unfolds west to east across the entire floor, brilliantly illuminated by natural light from sunrise to sunset, and it offers a front-row seat to the changing seasons across Central Park. Presently, the layout is configured with a master bedroom suite with a custom home office more aptly described as a professional sanctuary, and an en suite guest bedroom, both tucked smartly into the eastern portion of the plan. Along Fifth, a strikingly capacious west and north-facing living room invites high design and a curated art collection to complement its natural backdrop.

At its center, the open kitchen and dining room converge in form and function to bridge semi-formal with chic. A north-facing wall of windows and decorative fireplace lend soft light and playful warmth to intimate gatherings. Recessed lighting elements and mechanized screens and shades provide uncanny flexibility around ambience. There is also a third full bathroom, which was perfectly planned to serve a contemplated third bedroom. Our alternate floor plan expresses that 3-bedroom option.

Permitted pied-a-terre ownership, sublets, and, of course, pets only enhances what is a remarkable opportunity to invest, create, align, and reward yourself with the finest New York has to offer. Contact us for a private tour.

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.
