1016 5TH Avenue #3D

A light-filled classic 7 room apartment is now available for the first time in 50 years in a top, white glove prime coop. Just across from the Metropolitan Museum and Central Park, this stately apartment has oversized rooms, very high ceilings, and many original details. The gracious entry foyer leads to an enormous living room with a wood-burning fireplace facing North over 83rd Street and a formal dining room. There is a hallway separating the entertaining space from bedrooms. The enormous primary bedroom is on a corner facing North and East and has a large primary bath and generous closets. The second bedroom facing North is beautifully sized with good closets also. The smaller third bedroom is charming with a sunny South exposure. There is a hall bath servicing those two bedrooms. The bright, cheery kitchen is large and well-equipped – also with a washer and dryer. The sizable staff room has a full bath. 1016 Fifth has perhaps the most elegant lobby in Manhattan. The building was built in 1929 and has 15 floors and 56 elegant apartments. There is a full-time doorman and lobby attendants, new elevators, fitness room for tenant shareholders, bike room and live-in building manager. There are many garages in the neighborhood. Pied-a-terres and pets are allowed. This apartment is one of the great buys of the year!
