FIFTH AVENUE TRIPLEX JUST REDUCED TO $19,750,000!

The Building 817 Fifth Avenue, one of the City’s most elegant and coveted addresses, was built during the mid-1920s. Housing only 16 homes within 14 stories, the limestone Italian Renaissance building, designed by George B. Post & Sons, it is considered one of most beautiful buildings in Manhattan.

The Triplex, 1W2, offers a private entrance at 816 Fifth Avenue complete with a beautiful ornate wrought iron fence inset with gold medallions, which flanks the private walkway to the home.  Outside of the entrance, along Fifth Avenue, is the largest and deepest landscaped garden in the neighborhood. Upon entry, one encounters a grand foyer with entrances into a master suite, an extraordinary library/study, and a magnificent spiral staircase to the main floor of the property. Additionally, there is a stairway to the lower level, which includes an Empire Safe vault.

The southeastern portion of this floor contains the gourmet eat-in chef’s kitchen, a commercial-grade Viking range, double sinks, a Thermador oven, and a Miele dishwasher.
