1148 5TH Avenue #4C

Located in a prestigious Carnegie Hill prewar cooperative, this 9-room home has a gracious layout with beautifully-scaled rooms enhanced by elegant prewar detailing. Attractively decorated in traditional taste, the apartment is in move-in condition and is flooded with glorious natural light streaming in from 15 windows. One enters the residence from a stately semi-private elevator landing, providing an impressive introduction to the home. A 20-foot gallery leads to a grand living room with wood burning fireplace and two large windows capturing cityscape views to the North and oblique Park views to the West. A warm and welcoming library centrally located off the gallery may also serve as a guest room. The lovely formal dining room provides a perfect venue for large dinner parties or intimate gatherings. There is a vast windowed kitchen with custom cabinetry and stainless steel appliances from Sub-Zero and Viking with a breakfast area and large butler's pantry. A separate staff area includes two original maid's rooms and a bathroom, which could easily serve as a home office/study or gym, or could be combined to create an additional bedroom. Located along a private corridor, the corner primary suite has a well-appointed bath and ample closets. Two additional spacious bedrooms may be found along the Eastern wing of the home. Designed by legendary architect J.E.R. Carpenter, this 13-story neo-Georgian structure with a limestone base was built in 1923 and offers residents the highest levels of service and privacy. Amenities of this white-glove cooperative include a newly renovated fitness center, a bike room and storage facilities. The building has a 2% flip tax payable by the buyer.
