Unobstructed, cinematic views over Central Park and the Reservoir define this exceptional northwest corner residence at 1049 Fifth Avenue. From sunrise light to golden hour, every major room is immersed in sweeping park vistas, creating a rare sense of openness and tranquility high above the city. The expansive double-exposure great room anchors the home, offering an extraordinary setting for both entertaining and everyday living, with equally stunning outlooks from the formal dining room and family room.

A separate living room with custom library shelving provides a more intimate retreat, while the spacious kitchen, butler’s pantry, andwasher/dryer support both daily living and entertaining. Privately positioned, the bedroom wing can be closed off from the main living areas, creating a quiet and flexible living environment.

Three additional bedrooms offer generous proportions and flexibility for guests, work, or additional living space. While the home has been well maintained over time, it presents a compelling opportunity for a new owner to renovate and elevate the residence
