1001 Fifth Avenue   Unit 12AB

Elegance defines this impeccably designed residence. This rarely available home features three bedrooms, three baths, a balcony and breathtaking views of Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art from the living room. With triple exposures-west, north and east-, the apartment is filled with abundant sunlight in all three bedrooms, a rarity on Fifth Avenue. From the balcony, the eastern exposure overlooks beautiful turn-of-the-century, landmarked townhouses on East 82nd Street. Every architectural detail has been incorporated to perfection in this pristine home.

A sophisticated foyer leads to an expansive living/dining room with light wood-paneled walls, wide-plank mahogany flooring, soffit lighting and a meticulously, hand-applied white gold leaf ceiling. Throughout the residence, there is exquisite handcrafted cabinetry and millwork.

The contemporary kitchen, with its large window, Kirk Stone counter-tops and limestone floors, includes a top-of-the-line Sub Zero refrigerator, Viking stove, Miele dishwasher and wine cooler. A laundry room adjacent to the kitchen provides a Miele washer and dryer, a sink and additional storage.

The spacious, 25-foot master suite is accentuated by oversized windows and a balcony. Its private dressing room is comprised of ample closet space built in English Satinwood, as well as a 60-square foot Imperador marble bathroom, an oversized shower, Myson heated towel rack and floors, double sinks, Hansgrohe shower fixtures and Luxus shower doors. The master suite has an additional private entry and direct access from the elevator to the dressing room for luggage.

The second bedroom includes custom closets and large windows, and has an en-suite windowed marble bathroom. The third bedroom is currently configured as a den with custom cabinetry. Both bathrooms have mahogany cabinets with custom-designed stainless sinks and counters by Peter Pennoyer.
