An exceptional offering of a stunning, high-floor Fifth Avenue home with direct, unobstructed views of Central Park in an illustrious, white-glove cooperative on the coveted Gold Coast of the Upper East Side. Regally proportioned and beautifully appointed, Residence 10C at the Parc V is a grand residence of approximately 2,400 square feet boasting over 30 ft of contiguous park frontage. Originally a 6-room, 2-bedroom home with a service room, 10C now offers a massive double living room, a formal dining room, a library, an oversized windowed eat-in kitchen with a dining banquette and a decadent primary suite.

As you make your way through the gracious foyer atop polished black granite floors, your eyes are immediately drawn to the wall-to-wall picture windows in the living room that showcase breathtaking, iconic open views of Central Park, anchored by the Plaza Hotel and a glorious medley of prewar and modern architecture. The ceilings throughout the home rise approximately 10.5 ft, made intimate with tiered crown and base molding as well as gorgeous imported wide-plank herringbone white-oak floors. All of the millwork is breathtaking and includes an array of custom built-ins, paneled solid-core wood doors and meticulously carved embellishments in nearly every room.

Doubling the living room is additional lounging or entertaining space accented by a handsome custom book case as well as a built-in bar with overhead antiqued cabinetry and a distressed mirror facade. Immediately adjacent, a recessed library offers a cozy corner for both work and relaxation retaining sweeping views of the park and skyline of the West Side. The principle entertaining spaces are serviced by a glamorous powder room discretely located off of the gallery.

In the East wing, an expansive triple-windowed eat-in kitchen offers a large built-in banquette for casual meals and is clad in custom Pedini cabinetry in ash grey with black granite countertops and striking grey limestone floors with dramatic calcite veining. The appliances are top-of-line and include an integrated French door Subzero refrigerator/freezer with ice maker, Miele cooktop with both electric and gas burners, JennAir oven, full-sized integrated Miele dishwasher and an oversized Kohler sink with drinking water filter. Adjacent to the kitchen behind a pair of massive solid-core doors, a stately formal dining room is the ideal setting for family gatherings or dinner parties.

The current primary suite is lavish with extensive customized closeting and storage, including a large walk-in. There are two en-suite full bathrooms, both dressed to the ceiling in neutral-tone marble with gorgeous carved stone motifs and all Kohler hardware and fixtures including soaking tubs in each bathroom. The larger primary bathroom has been additionally appointed with a bidet as well as a beautiful custom vanity with cosmetics storage. Should one prefer a park-facing primary bedroom, the extended living space and adjacent library can easily be returned to a primary suite. Please refer to the original floor plan in the listing.

Additional features of this turnkey residence include central AC, a vented washer/dryer, and a third full bathroom with a glass-enclosed stall shower just off of the kitchen.
