Description

Resting high above Central Park on the 10th Floor, and ideally located on Fifth Avenue between 77th and 78th Street in a full service prewar cooperative, this wonderful five room residence is in move-in condition.

Off of a semi-private landing, a gracious gallery welcomes you into a sprawling 29 foot sweep of entertainment space with stunning direct views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline. High ceilings, oak parquet floors, crown moldings and a wood-burning fireplace make this space ideal for entertaining.

Immediately adjacent to the living room is the library/second bedroom with oversized picture windows that allow brilliant light to stream in throughout the day. Across the hall is a renovated full bathroom with steam shower featuring multiple jets and a bathing bench.

The East wing of the home has an oversized eat-in kitchen with top of the line appliances and a large window overlooking a charming planting terrace. A staff room/home office with a windowed half bathroom is located immediately adjacent to the kitchen, along with a washer/dryer.

The primary bedroom suite is located to the South of the living room, and also enjoys amazing views of Central Park and the iconic Manhattan skyline. A large renovated master bathroom also benefits from the same outstanding views, and the bedroom suite provides ample closet space with three closets, one of which is a walk-in with custom built-ins.

965 Fifth Avenue was built in 1938 and designed by Margon & Holder, one of the designers contributing to the construction of the El Dorado alongside Emery Roth. It is a full-service, white-glove, luxury cooperative in a prime and quiet stretch of Fifth Avenue. Residents enjoy a full-time doorman, an elevator operator, gym, as well as private and bicycle storage. Pets are welcome.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
