Grand Residence Off Fifth Avenue

Steps from Central Park, this hard to find eight room home awaits your designer's touch. Located at the foot of Carnegie Hill in a highly desirable white glove co-op, this oversized, sunny residence measures 2,800 square feet, including center gallery, 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, living room, formal dining room and kitchen. It's one of only two units in the building that has an extra full-sized bedroom. An oversized staff room tucked away behind the kitchen serves as private office. Light abounds from large picture windows capturing southern sunshine. Abundant closet space completes the picture.

With only three apartments per floor, this boutique co-op rises 21 stories with 54 units. There's a garage on site plus bike room, gym and limited private storage. Built as a co-op in 1961, the building allows 65% financing now, and welcomes pets and pieds--terre purchases. The 24/7 staff and Resident Manager provide attentive service. Within walking distance to outstanding public and private schools, fine shopping, excellent restaurants, world class museums and convenient transportation, this location can't be beat. 3% flip tax by buyer.
