Beautifully perched on Fifth Avenue with direct open views of Central Park and the Reservoir from six of the thirteen rooms, this elegant corner five-bedroom duplex home is unique on Fifth Avenue. Twelve over-sized picture windows along Fifth Avenue afford the double living room and each of the five bedrooms with captivating direct Central Park views - a rare distinction on Fifth Avenue and currently the only apartment available with six rooms facing the Park. This impressive classic prewar residence offers an abundance of generously proportioned rooms spread over two floors in one of Fifth Avenue's most elegant cooperatives.

A semi-private elevator landing opens to a very gracious gallery from which all rooms on the main level are approached. An expansive 26 X 25 double living room is punctuated with a wood burning fireplace and an eye-catching sweep of views across the Park through three large picture windows. The formal dining room flows seamlessly beyond the living room and easily accommodates dining and entertaining on a large scale. The windowed eat-in kitchen includes an adjacent pantry and staff bedroom with a full bathroom. The main level is complete with a separate corridor off the entry gallery which leads to two-bedroom suites - each with its own bath. A handsome staircase off the entry connects the main level with the gracious upper floor bedroom landing. The vast primary bedroom suite with wood-burning fireplace and direct Central Park views includes an enviably proportioned windowed bath with separate dressing room and closets. There are two additional bedrooms facing the park with baths en-suite. A delightful library/media room on the upper level bedroom floor offers a cozy contrast to the more public rooms below.
