Description

Located on Fifth Avenue in the heart of Carnegie Hill, Residence 2C at 1120 Fifth Avenue presents a rare opportunity to own a distinguished pre-war home with nearly 45 feet of direct Central Park frontage. Spanning nine beautifully proportioned rooms, this exceptional residence seamlessly combines grand scale, timeless architectural detail, and a flexible modern layout with sweeping park views.

A semi-private elevator landing opens to a gracious entry foyer that leads to a serene, sun-filled living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and framed by oversized windows overlooking Central Park from high above street level. The living room flows seamlessly into a formal dining room-one of the home's most remarkable spaces-featuring original hand-painted wallpaper by Zuber & Cie, uncovered during the renovation and meticulously restored by the current owner. Produced using centuries-old woodblock techniques, this highly collectible work of art-similar to those installed in the Diplomatic Reception Room of the White House-imbues the residence with extraordinary history, craftsmanship, and distinction.
Adjacent to the dining room - through a well-appointed butler's pantry designed for effortless entertaining - find a windowed eat-in kitchen which blends timeless elegance with modern functionality. Marble countertops, glass-front cabinetry, and professional-grade stainless steel appliances create a space that is both refined and practical.

A private bedroom wing is accessed through a gallery hall lined with generous closet space. The tranquil primary suite features an oversized bedroom filled with beautiful morning light and a thoughtfully renovated windowed bath complete with dual vanities and a soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms enjoy open eastern exposures overlooking charming townhouse gardens and share an elegantly appointed bath.

Complementing the home's versatile layout, the media room or den offers an inviting space for relaxed living, work, or entertaining. A separate laundry room, third full bathroom, dedicated storage or home office space and powder room complete the home and provide exceptional flexibility and functionality for modern living.

Additional highlights include soaring 9.5-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, central air conditioning, updated electrical systems, and numerous thoughtful upgrades throughout.

Designed in 1925 by renowned architect J. E. R. Carpenter, 1120 Fifth Avenue is one of Carnegie Hill's most coveted pre-war cooperatives. Residents enjoy white-glove service including a 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, newly renovated fitness center, bike room, and pet-friendly policies. Perfectly positioned across from Central Park and moments from Museum Mile, world-class dining, shopping, and cultural institutions, this is a rare opportunity to own within one of Fifth Avenue's most distinguished addresses.

A 2% flip tax is payable by the buyer. Financing permitted up to 50%.
