Property Description for 817 Fifth Ave, 11-FLR
CONTEMPORARY LIVING IN PREWAR GRANDEUR
Occupying the entire 11th floor of 817 Fifth Avenue, this extraordinary four-bedroom plus staff suite residence commands over 45 feet of frontage overlooking Central Park, with sweeping views across the Park's expanse and the city's iconic skyline beyond. Newly renovated, the home blends the grand proportions and high ceilings of a classic prewar with a fresh, contemporary sensibility. Sun-splashed, it is framed throughout by oversized windows.
The elevator opens to a private landing, and beyond it a gracious marble gallery sets the tone for a layout of three distinct wings. The entertaining wing centers on a magnificent, grandly proportioned Great Room with a fireplace and walls of oversized windows facing Fifth Avenue and the Park. A formal dining room of equally generous scale and a powder room off the gallery complete the entertaining spaces.
Each of the four bedroom suites features an ensuite bathroom and custom-outfitted closets. The primary suite fronts Central Park from a high floor, an enviable position that lends a unique sense of calm, whether you are waking to or winding down with that spectacular view. A second primary suite, with its own dressing room and ensuite bathroom, offers true flexibility, and the two other substantial bedrooms are equally well appointed. With a layout this large, rooms can easily be adapted to your needs, such as a home office or den.
The household wing contains a large eat-in chef's kitchen with a center island, built-in counter seating and a separate dining banquette, a pantry with exceptional storage, a laundry room with an additional refrigerator, and a staff suite with its own bathroom. A basement storage room is included with the residence.
817 Fifth Avenue is a distinguished, full-service prewar condominium on the southeast corner of Fifth Avenue and East 63rd Street, designed by George B. Post & Sons and completed in 1925. Staffed 24 hours a day, with a resident manager, it serves only 16 residences, offering exceptional privacy in the heart of Lenox Hill, on the Upper East Side's storied Fifth Avenue, close to some of the city's finest dining and shopping. Rarely does a full-floor Fifth Avenue residence of this scale, light and presence come available for rent, making this a truly unique offering.

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.
