Description

Perfectly positioned on the 16th floor of 875 Fifth Avenue, a distinguished Emory Roth cooperative, this elegant classic six has sweeping views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline. Flooded with natural light, the residence offers grandly proportioned entertaining rooms, two spacious bedrooms plus a staff room, and three full bathrooms.

A semi-private elevator landing opens to a magnificent entrance gallery, setting the tone for the home's scale and sophistication. The grand living room is beautifully proportioned and has oversized windows overlooking Central Park, showcasing breathtaking views and picturesque sunsets. Adjacent, the formal dining room is perfectly suited for both intimate gatherings and large-scale entertaining, with a seamless flow between the two rooms. The windowed eat-in kitchen is thoughtfully designed with a butler's pantry and includes a dedicated laundry area with a Miele washer and dryer.

The primary suite has city views and excellent closet space. The bathroom is generously scaled and features a large shower. The second bedroom-currently configured as a handsome library-enjoys direct Central Park views and features pocket doors that open into the living room, allowing for flexibility of use. A well-appointed full bathroom with a bathtub serves this room. Additional hallway closets provide exceptional storage throughout.

Situated at East 69th Street and Fifth Avenue, this white-glove cooperative, built in 1940, offers the highest level of service and amenities, including a full-time doorman, live-in resident manager, windowed fitness center, private garden, residents' lounge and business center, and bicycle storage.

The building permits up to 50% financing and allows pied-à-terre ownership. There is a 4% flip tax payable by the purchaser. Pets are not permitted, except for service and emotional support animals. There is a capital assessment of $700 per month through December 2026.
