828 Fifth Avenue   Unit 5

Premier Ꮮocation, Sensational Orientation

Along Fifth Avenue at the corner of 64th Street, building number 828 sits in perfect proximity to some of the most respected and influential global firms, the finest museums, dining, and retail options in New York, all with frontage on 843 acres of Frederick Olmsted and Calvert Vaux's masterpiece of urban landscape architecture, Central Park. Arsenal Gallery, a New York landmark that served as the first home of the American Museum of Natural History, now hosts several art and photography exhibitions annually. It is among the treasured views enjoyable from 828.

Perched on the fourth floor of a stunning Beaux-Arts Mansion built before the turn of the 19th century for coal baron James Berwind and converted to a co-op with full-time staff and flexible rules, this full-floor corner residence sits among Fifth Avenue's most exclusive pre-war addresses. Crossing into the building's elegant and intimate lobby on East 64th Street is to be transported to an era of historic craftsmanship and urban prosperity.

The flat itself (#5) unfolds west to east across the entire floor, brilliantly illuminated by natural light from sunrise to sunset, and it offers a front-row seat to the changing seasons across Central Park. Presently, the layout is configured with a master bedroom suite with a custom home office more aptly described as a professional sanctuary, and an en suite guest bedroom, both tucked smartly into the eastern portion of the plan. Along Fifth, a strikingly capacious west and north-facing living room invites high design and a curated art collection to complement its natural backdrop.

At its center, the open kitchen and dining room converge in form and function to bridge semi-formal with chic. A north-facing wall of windows and decorative fireplace lend soft light and playful warmth to intimate gatherings. Recessed lighting elements and mechanized screens and shades provide uncanny flexibility around ambience. There is also a third full bathroom, which was perfectly planned to serve a contemplated third bedroom. Our alternate floor plan expresses that 3-bedroom option.

Permitted pied-a-terre ownership, sublets, and, of course, pets only enhances what is a remarkable opportunity to invest, create, align, and reward yourself with the finest New York has to offer. Contact us for a private tour.
