CENTRAL PARK AT YOUR DOORSTEP!
30 FEET OF FRONTAGE on Fifth Avenue LOOKING DIRECTLY AT CENTRAL PARK! Famed architect George Pelham designed this classic cooperative in the heart of Carnegie Hill,
a premier residential neighborhood embracing the park, the reservoir, playing fields and many schools. This apartment exhibits grand scale entertaining rooms, high 9'5 ceilings, original wood floors, and a flexible floorplan to fit any buyer's needs. This unique 7 room apartment has nearly 2300 gross square feet and features two bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms with two staff rooms that have been combined to make a large third bedroom/den off the kitchen. The apartment needs some updating but not a huge overhaul and has enormous potential.
Enter this sun-flooded apartment from its semi-private elevator vestibule into a large gallery - a room in and of itself- from which all the rooms emanate. The grand living room is one of the rooms with stunning views of Central Park and it features a wood-burning fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases. The bedrooms are located off their own bedroom hallway. The primary bedroom shares the Central Park view. The second bedroom faces southeast and gets tremendous light and is quiet. The second bedroom bathroom also has access of the gallery so also functions as a powder room for guests.
There is a grand formal dining room which is excellent for entertaining. The kitchen can be enlarged should the buyer want an eat-in area. The pantry has a washer/dryer. The original two maids rooms were combined and there is plumbing there for a third bathroom. There are good closets throughout, through the wall air conditioning in the front rooms and in the den, and a storage unit comes with the apartment.
1136 Fifth Avenue is a white glove full service cooperative built in 1924. There is a live-in resident manager, manned elevators, and 24 hour doorman. The building features, bike storage, and laundry in the basement. Pets allowed and 50% financing. There is a flip tax of 2%.
