Description

Sunlight fills this elegant and beautifully proportioned one-bedroom residence, offering open southern and eastern exposures from the 16th floor and sweeping views along Fifth Avenue, including The Plaza Hotel, Bergdorf Goodman, and the iconic Apple Fifth Avenue. Located within the legendary Sherry-Netherland, this luminous home presents a rare opportunity to own at one of Manhattan's most coveted and storied pre-war addresses.

The expansive living room is both grand and inviting, distinguished by soaring ceilings, refined crown moldings, and four oversized windows that bring in exceptional natural light throughout the day. Perfectly suited for both entertaining and everyday living, the space reflects timeless New York sophistication. The stately south-facing bedroom offers a serene and private retreat, complete with a large walk-in closet and an en suite marble bath featuring a separate soaking tub and shower, enhanced by beautifully preserved original Art Deco fixtures that celebrate the building's architectural heritage.

Ideally positioned at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 59th Street, just moments from Central Park and the world's finest shopping and dining along Madison and Fifth Avenues, residents enjoy an unmatched lifestyle defined by five-star hotel services and white-glove attention. These include 24-hour concierge and doorman, attended elevators, housekeeping and turndown service, and in-residence dining from Harry Cipriani.
