1165 Fifth Avenue, #8A, New York, (Upper East Side), NY, 10029

50 FEET OF FRONTAGE on Fifth Avenue and six huge picture windows LOOKING OVER CENTRAL PARK! This spectacular high floor 3 bedroom apartment in excellent condition at 1165 Fifth Avenue will take your breath away.

It has been a decade since a Park facing HIGH FLOOR A-line has been available for sale at 1165 Fifth Avenue so this apartment offers unique opportunity for that distinct buyer who wants breathtaking views, striking sunsets, and sunlight from every room. Famed architect J.E.R. Carpenter designed this classic cooperative in the heart of Carnegie Hill, a premier
residential neighborhood embracing the Park, the reservoir, playing fields and playgrounds, many schools and Museum Mile. This apartment exhibits Carpenter's signature style: grand scale entertaining rooms, high ceilings, gorgeous wood floors, generous closet space, and a flexible floorplan to fit any buyer's needs. Originally an 8 room floorplan, the current floorplan has the third bedroom incorporated into the double living room. One could easily reconfigure it back into a 3-4 bedroom layout.

From the semi-private elevator vestibule one enters into the 22 foot long gallery, off which every major room emanates. The sun-flooded double living room (nearly 26 feet wide) with its enormous windows immediately draws you in. The living room features a high-beamed ceiling and a wood-burning fireplace. The formal dining room faces South with views of the midtown skyline. The corner primary bedroom and the second bedroom, each with their own bath ensuite are located off their own bedroom hallway. Wake up with the lush greenery from Central Park, a view almost directly across from the Eldorado, or perhaps spot a hawk soaring by...

Off the gallery, adjacent to the formal dining room is the Butler's pantry, replete with cabinets and wine storage, and a large eat-in kitchen with two large East-facing windows. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a washer dryer. To complete the apartment there is the staff room/bedroom/home office located off the kitchen and a powder room. This bedroom has tremendous southern views and exposure. The apartment has plentiful closets, lovely original refinished wood floors,
through wall air conditioning, and dedicated storage space.

Built in 1926, 1165 Fifth Avenue is one of Carnegie Hill's most coveted white glove prewar cooperatives on Fifth Avenue, offering a 24-hour doorman, a concierge, a live-in resident manager, a gym, a central laundry room, storage and a bicycle room. Pets and pied-a-terres are welcome. There is a 2% flip tax paid by the buyer and 50% financing is allowed.
