Offered for the first time in decades, this jewel of an apartment has the distinction of its own private entrance on Fifth Avenue. Known as "Maisonette B" at the distinguished 834 Fifth Avenue, one of New York's most prestigious addresses, this approximately 4,500 square foot apartment has a grandeur and graciousness for which its architect, Rosario Candela, is so appreciated.

Entering the apartment either from its private limestone entrance on Fifth Avenue or through the building's elegant lobby, one is swept into a long, grand gallery, perfect for displaying large works of art. A beautiful wood-paneled library with full bathroom acts as an inviting reception room with windows on Fifth Avenue. A powder room and large coat closet are also on this level.

At the end of the grand gallery is the restored original Candela staircase leading to the second floor of the apartment. Another long, vaulted gallery connects to a
well-proportioned living room with wood-burning fireplace and three large windows with direct Central Park views. The other side of the gallery, wide enough for a grand piano, leads to the formal dining room overlooking the building's recently-restored private garden. Behind the dining room, at the back of house, are a butler's pantry, chef's kitchen and breakfast room/office. Two full staff rooms share a full bathroom at the back of the apartment. There is a third entrance to this apartment on the second floor, off a semi-private elevator landing.

The bedroom wing of the apartment overlooks the building's serene private garden: a primary suite with ample walk-in closet and large windowed bath, and a second bedroom with ensuite bathroom.

834 Fifth Avenue was built in 1931 and is located in a highly sought-after location between 64th and 65th Streets. Residents have access to a variety of white-glove services including a doorman, fully attended lobby, elevator attendants, a fitness room and private storage and laundry rooms for each apartment. Pets are
welcome. There is a 3% flip tax payable by the purchaser and financing is not permitted.
