Property Description for 860 Fifth Ave, 6-K

860 Fifth Avenue, Residence 6K 2,900 Sq Ft | 3 Bedrooms | 3 Baths | Central Park View Co-op | Fifth Avenue, East 60s Expansive Central Park views unfold from the living room, formal dining room, primary bedroom, and one of the guest rooms — complemented by a large park-facing balcony that brings outdoor living to Fifth Avenue without interrupting the living room’s expansive Central Park views. A proper foyer opens into a grand L-shaped living room of exceptional proportion. The living room anchors the residence, flowing seamlessly into both the formal dining room and entrance foyer — an open public-room layout ideal for modern entertaining while preserving classic Fifth Avenue scale. Western exposures deliver beautiful afternoon light over Central Park, while eastern exposures bring bright morning light, creating a luminous home from sunrise through late day. The home’s two-bedroom-wing layout creates exceptional privacy between the primary suite and guest accommodations — a configuration that is rare and is especially prized in Fifth Avenue co-ops. The windowed kitchen is designed for daily living and entertaining, featuring white lacquer cabinetry, granite countertops, a Miele cooktop and a Miele wall oven, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Miele microwave, two wine refrigerators, and a butler’s pantry. There is a breakfast area with warm terracotta flooring. Off the kitchen is separate laundry room with a full washer & dryer, and sink. A service entrance in the kitchen adds great convenience. The primary suite occupies its own private wing with two exposures — direct Central Park views and northward vistas up Fifth Avenue. The suite is anchored by a three-way mirrored dressing area and generously sized fitted walk-in closet, with additional closets totaling four and a marble bath with double vanity, soaking tub, and a separate glass-enclosed shower. The secondary wing includes two spacious bedrooms, each with its own en-suite marble bath. One guest room faces Central Park; the other enjoys bright morning light from the east and built-ins. The residence has been impeccably staged. The curated furnishings may be purchased separately for a truly turnkey move-in. Designed by Sylvan Bien in 1950, 860 Fifth Avenue is a premier white-glove cooperative with full-time doorman, elevator operators, porter, live-in resident manager, fitness room, bike room, central laundry, and an on-site garage with discounted shareholder rates. Pets (subject to board approval), pied-à-terre ownership, co-purchasing, and secondary residence use permitted. Financing up to 50%. 2% flip tax payable by purchaser. For those who understand Fifth Avenue, the pricing represents an unusually attractive basis for this scale, view exposure, and outdoor space in the East 60s.

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.
