785 5TH Avenue #8E

Perfectly positioned at the center of the power nexus south-east corner of Central Park, clustered amongst the legendary hotels of Fifth Avenue: The Sherry Netherland, The Plaza and The Pierre, The Parc V is home to a diverse tenant roster of Captains of Industry, entertainers, and wealthy private pied-a-terre and full time owners. Situated on a quiet floor of this luxury limestone-clad co-operative, designed by Emery Roth and built in 1963, this sprawling Classic Six apartment offers expansive entertaining and living space. A semi-private elevator landing opens to the over-sized entry foyer and gallery leading on to the large living room with decorative fireplace and wall of windows overlooking the architectural cornice of the beautiful McKim, Mead and White designed Metropolitan Club, as well as offering side views to Central Park. The formal dining room works equally well for large gatherings and intimate dinners and has a wall of south windows. The fully equipped kitchen works well as is, or could be combined with the adjacent third bedroom with bath to create a huge eat-in kitchen with separate laundry room. A bedroom hallway leads from the gallery to the generous primary bedroom suite, again with oblique Park views, a well-appointed marble bathroom and ample closets, as well as an equally large south-facing second primary bedroom, also with marble bathroom and walk-in closet. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a highly desirable, classic Manhattan apartment with the scale and proportions of a grand pre-war, whilst providing a wonderful feeling of light and space throughout. Also available in the building from the same owner is a one bedroom apartment which could be used for family/guest/home office. The building amenities include a garage, roof deck and newly renovated fitness center.
