1035 Fifth Ave. #7A

Panoramic views of Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art! This exceptional Classic Six is located in one of Fifth Avenue’s most prestigious prewar co-ops and offers dazzling views from its perch high above the tree line. With a gracious layout unfolding around a 20-foot central gallery, this grand and elegant home features large, well-proportioned rooms, pre-war architectural details, high ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, a luxurious dressing area off the master bathroom, and tremendous closet space. The original kitchen with separate butler’s pantry and washer/dryer could easily be reconfigured into an enormous eat-in kitchen to accommodate a more contemporary lifestyle, as our alternate floor-plan illustrates. The two original staff rooms have already been combined as a real third bedroom and full bath, and could be re-imagined as a family-room or office. Bring your architect—myriad possibilities abound with this square footage! A comprehensive and pragmatic renovation budget from Lee Stahl of The Renovated Home is available for the project as well.

Designed in 1926 by preeminent Manhattan architect J.E.R. Carpenter, this handsome Italian Renaissance-style building is recognized as one of the most distinguished luxury cooperatives on Fifth Avenue. Ideally situated at 85th Street on Museum Mile, it’s convenient to many of the city’s finest schools. The building offers residents white-glove service, a beautiful lobby that looks onto a charming interior garden, and a state-of-the-art gym. Pets are allowed, and a large storage room transfers with the apartment. The building permits 50% financing and there is a 2.5% building flip tax payable by the purchaser.
