Description

With some of the most spectacular panoramic views of Central Park, the reservoir, and the iconic Manhattan skyline, this exceptional southwest corner classic nine into eight room prewar residence is perfectly positioned on the 11th floor of 1115 Fifth Avenue, a distinguished cooperative designed by renowned architect J.E.R. Carpenter. Nine oversized west-facing windows frame these breathtaking vistas and extraordinary sunsets, with approximately 70 feet of frontage overlooking Central Park and 50 feet of southern exposures. Renovated to the highest standards, the residence combines grand-scale entertaining spaces with exceptional finishes throughout, including central air conditioning, Lutron lighting, custom moldings and millwork, Waterworks fixtures, and beautifully finished hardwood floors.

A semi-private elevator landing opens to an elegant foyer and magnificent entrance gallery, creating a dramatic introduction to the home's graceful proportions. The spectacular corner living room, measuring over 28 feet in length, is centered around a wood-burning fireplace and lined with four oversized windows overlooking Central Park, the reservoir, and the skyline beyond. Adjacent is a gracious corner dining room with beautiful southern and eastern exposures, ideal for both formal entertaining and intimate gatherings. Just beyond, the handsome library features custom built-ins and additional sweeping park views.

The meticulously renovated windowed eat-in kitchen is both elegant and functional, appointed with custom Scavolini cabinetry, two Franke sinks, and a center island. Top-of-the-line appliances include a Miele refrigerator, two Sub-Zero freezer drawers, a Gaggenau wine refrigerator, a Miele oven and range, and two Miele dishwashers. Off the kitchen is a study or third bedroom with a Murphy bed and a renovated windowed bathroom with a shower, as well as a laundry/staff room with a washer/dryer and sink. A large coat closet and beautifully appointed powder room complete the entertaining spaces.

Privately situated, the luxurious primary suite overlooks Central Park and enjoys stunning reservoir and city views. The suite features an enormous closet and a lavish windowed en-suite bathroom with radiant heated floors and an oversized shower overlooking the park and reservoir. An additional spacious bedroom suite also enjoys beautiful park views and is currently configured as an elegant dressing room with extensive custom built-ins and a windowed en-suite bathroom with radiant heated floors.
