Description
Sweeping Central Park and Metropolitan Museum Views – Designed by Gil Shafer Experience timeless elegance and modern comfort in this masterfully renovated residence designed by acclaimed architect Gil Shafer. Every inch of this home reflects an uncompromising commitment to craftsmanship and detail, creating a wonderful environment for both sophisticated entertaining and day-to-day life. From the moment the elevator opens into this grand Fifth Avenue residence, it feels like a work of art—one that frames lush views of Central Park and the storied façade of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. An elegant gallery leads to a trio of three stunning rooms all along Fifth Avenue The living room, with a wood-burning fireplace and three large Park facing windows, opens with two sets of double doors to a Park facing formal dining room, also with a wood burning fireplace. Just to the south of the living room is a corner library, bathed in light with views of the green of Central Park and the iconic The Metropolitan Museum, from the south window. An especially pretty powder room is just off the entrance gallery. A private bedroom wing runs along the south side of the apartment. The primary bedroom suite is a true retreat, stretching along 84th Street with views of The Met and tree-tops, a spa-like bath and great closets. There is a pocket door which allows the primary bedroom to include the Park facing library as part of the suite. Two especially large bedrooms run along the south exposure with en suite baths, each generous in scale and filled with natural light and tree views. A charming fourth bedroom, also with its own bath, sits just across the hall.. The center of the apartment is a large and beautiful windowed kitchen, outfitted with professional-grade appliances and a generous pantry. A full laundry/mud room, completes this thoughtfully planned home. This rare residence combines architectural pedigree, Park views, and exceptionally gracious proportions—all within one of the Upper East Side’s most distinguished prewar cooperatives. Built in 1925 by esteemed architect J.E.R. Carpenter, 1030 Fifth Avenue is limestone cooperative with just 16 residences. The building offers privacy, a newly renovated and architecturally significant lobby, a gym, a full-time white-glove staff, and a dedicated resident manager. Financing up to 30% is permitted.
