1150 Fifth Ave. #3A

This 8 room apartment in mint condition has the rare feature of 4 rooms directly facing Fifth Avenue with wonderful Central Park views – the living room with wood burning fireplace, the library, the master bedroom, and a second bedroom, as well as 2 windowed bathrooms. Entrance is from a double elevator landing into a grand and glorious drawing room-sized central gallery, imparting an impressive sense of grace and volume. Off of the gallery are the bedrooms and the primary public rooms. At the far end are the formal dining room, just opposite the living room, which opens through French doors into the library. The dining room leads into a large butlers’s pantry and a windowed eat-in kitchen with all top appliances, granite countertops, custom cabinetry and a washer/dryer. Two original staff rooms and staff bathroom have been combined to create a proper third bedroom and bathroom. In this current configuration, there is enormous entertaining space, including the library. Alternatively, the library can easily be converted into a fourth bedroom, which was the original configuration of the apartment. The entire residence has undergone a fine renovation and retains many prewar details, including herringbone floors and high ceilings. The building is a highly sought after prewar cooperative with full services and direct access to Central Park just across Fifth Avenue.
