1140 Fifth Ave. #1C

Nestled in the heart of Carnegie Hill along Fifth Avenue’s prestigious Gold Coast, this impeccably renovated two-bedroom cooperative residence represents the epitome of prewar elegance combined with modern day conveniences and technology. The current owners completed the full-scale renovation in 2016 and have not occupied the apartment since.

The charming arched doorway up a short flight of stairs from the building’s lobby lends the aura of entering a stately private home.

A gracious entry foyer leads to the second bedroom/office on the right.

Straight ahead a mirror image second archway opens onto a grand living room and dining area lined with herringbone flooring, perfect for entertaining or relaxing.

To the east of the living room lie the spacious primary bedroom and bathroom. The bathroom has a mosaic tiled floor, new fixtures, sparkling hardware, and dual mirrors.

The windowed kitchen, accessed from the far end of the living room, offers classic maple wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances including a Miele dishwasher, and a Miele washer/dryer.

Both bedrooms and the kitchen enjoy abundant southern sunlight, overlooking serene, tree-lined 95th Street.

Outside the kitchen service entrance, you will find a rare, oversized private storage room that travels with the apartment, in addition to a dedicated building storage unit in the building’s basement.

Refinished hardwood oak floors, crown moldings and other architectural details, central air-conditioning, and copious closet space run throughout.
