Property Description
FIFTH AVENUE DREAM Enjoy Central Park views from this spacious 2bd/3 bath plus maid's room/home office within a classic prewar building in an unparalleled location! Perched at the tree line on the 2nd floor, this lovely home enjoys unobstructed PANORAMIC VIEWS OF CENTRAL PARK. Move right in or tweak this lovely space to suit your taste. Located in a prestigious white glove co-op, you can have it all! If you want to live lavishly and entertain in style, this is the apartment for you! An oversized, gracious entry gallery (ideal for displaying art, perhaps inspired by the current owner, and internationally renowned artist, or the neighboring museums along Fifth Avenue) leads to a spacious sun flooded living room overlooking Central Park and Fifth Avenue. The large, well-appointed and stylish chef's kitchen features ample cabinetry and counter space, including a separate wet bar, where you can create culinary masterpieces and luscious libations. Enjoy memorable meals and scintillating conversations in the adjacent dining room, which can easily seat 10-12. The private primary suite is perfect for relaxation against the backdrop of Central Park views, and features a beautiful en suite bath plus great closet space. The large secondary bedroom is also en suite. Off the dining room, what was originally a spacious maid's room and bath would be a serviceable third bedroom or a perfect, pin-drop-quiet home office. An in-unit washer/dryer, gorgeous oak herringbone floors, decorative marble fireplace, high ceilings and beautiful prewar-meets-modern details complete this special residence. Simply stated, this apartment offers an unbeatable opportunity to purchase a gracious, renovated apartment of this calibre at a remarkable price point! Please see the alternate floorplan to imagine other possibilities for the space (any renovations are subject to co-op approval). With only two apartments per floor, there is a sense of privacy and intimacy that helps make this more than an apartment but a home. Designed in 1938, 965 Fifth Avenue is a highly sought-after full-service building with impeccable staffing that includes a full-time doorman and a supremely attentive resident manager. Located in the heart of the Upper East Side's historic district, you are near Madison Avenue's best shops and restaurants. Ideally situated at Fifth Avenue and East 78th Street, you'll be a short stroll to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Guggenheim Museum and other area attractions, and of course Central Park is at your doorstep. This wonderful co-op enjoys a state-of-the art fitness center, a dedicated storage bin for each residence and bicycle storage. Pet friendly, and pied a terres are welcome. There is a 2% flip tax paid by buyer. Up to 50% financing is permitted. Enjoy the lovely views of Central Park and such NYC landmarks as the art deco towers along Central Park West and Central Park South, plus the ever-changing NYC skyline. The sunsets are beautiful, rivaled perhaps only by the magical views of the city lights at night. $1296 assessment per month. Call Ann Marie today to schedule a private viewing of this special home!
