1050 Fifth Ave. #11EF

This mesmerizing “oasis in the sky” is situated on Fifth Avenue overlooking Central Park. With approximately 80 linear feet of Park frontage, this glamorous home must be seen to be believed.

Directly across from the Jacqueline Onassis Reservoir, the sunsets and sunrises are truly spectacular, and one can enjoy all of the seasons with the sweeping views south toward the Metropolitan Museum and midtown Manhattan Skyline to the iconic Central Park West buildings, and north all the way to the George Washington Bridge. The sprawling 10-room floor plan is very flexible and can be easily transformed to suit the needs of its new owner. There is abundant space for all to live and work in privacy, surrounded by serene Park views. Currently, the apartment is configured as 5-bedrooms and 4.5-bathrooms, plus a staff room, which can easily be converted to a 6th bedroom.

One enters into a proper gallery, which flows seamlessly into the grand living room and formal dining room, both with a wall of picture windows facing Central Park. The windowed chef’s kitchen is replete with designer GE and Liebherr appliances and quartz countertops, and is adjacent to both a spacious entertainment room, and a staff room with laundry (or 5th full bathroom). The Park facing expansive primary bedroom suite has its own bathroom; fabulously custom-fitted dressing room, plus a sitting room, and an adjacent home office, all with glorious views. The 3 additional bedrooms sit in their own wing on the opposite side of the home, the largest one facing the Park: all are sun-filled, quiet, and generously proportioned with custom closets and 2 additional bathrooms. All bathrooms beautifully renovated with Crema Marfil marble or designer tile and tasteful fixtures. Restored original parquet floors, tasteful moldings, picture lighting and expansive walls for art, a decorative fireplace, enormous updated picture windows, and central heat & thru-wall ACs, complete this treasure.
