Fifth Ave - Mint Renovation - Top Floor

Beautifully renovated and sun-flooded ten room apartment located on the top floor of one of Fifth Avenue's finest limestone prewar buildings at the South corner of 72nd Street. A semi private landing opens onto an impressive 41-foot gallery. Sun streams in throughout the day from 31 windows and 4 exposures. The residence has soaring 11'3" ceilings, grand scale proportions, and impressive original details including herringbone floors and handsome moldings.

The entertainment rooms consist of a wonderful 20' x 29' corner living room with a wood-burning fireplace, an inviting custom pine paneled library with center window and wall-to-wall bookshelves. The formal dining room opens off the library and can easily seat 16. A corner study hidden by two glass and mahogany pocket doors complete the entertainment wing of the home.

Opening off the dining room is the oversized windowed chef's eat-in kitchen. A center island has seating for three and ample storage. Stone floors and marble countertops outfit the space. There are top of the line appliances including a 6-burner Wolf range with a hood that vents to the outside, Miele dishwasher, Miele wall oven, Miele steamer, Subzero refrigerator & freezer, and a deep double sink. The space is illuminated by two East-facing windows bathing the space in natural light throughout the day. A pantry and desk area complete the kitchen wing. South of the kitchen is a hallway with side-by-side washer & dryer that leads to a home office and a corner guest room with a full bathroom. Both the office and guest room have wonderful light and open city views.

Located on opposite sides of the 41-foot gallery are the two bedroom suites. The enormous North facing master suite, entered through a small vestibule, features amazing closets, including two shoe closets, a large walk-in with dressing area, and an additional five closets for storage. There are two gorgeous oversized en-suite marble bathrooms each with stall showers. On the opposite side of the gallery, the West facing guest bedroom has two closets and a windowed bathroom featuring a soaking tub as well as stall shower.

Built in 1916, this distinctive 12-story Italian-Renaissance-palazzo-style apartment house, designed by legendary architect J.E.R. Carpenter, has the highest levels of service, privacy and security. Amenities include a fully equipped gym, private storage facilities, and a beautifully-landscaped rooftop garden overlooking Central Park, which is one of the most spectacular roof-decks in the city. There is a 3% flip tax paid by the purchaser.
