956 5th Avenue #12AB

Located in the most desirable area of Fifth Avenue this home could be exactly what you've been looking and waiting for. On a high floor with picture postcard views across Central Park are ten exceptional rooms longing to be joined again to create a stunning, full floor apartment with four exposures.

The western portion of the floor is presently configured as six rooms. The living room has a beautiful mantle with a gas fireplace (that can be converted back to wood burning). The north and west windows provide views past the Metropolitan Museum of Art all the way to the George Washington Bridge. The dining room has the same jaw dropping exposure looking towards the legendary buildings on Central Park West; the Dakota, San Remo and Beresford. Gleaming, original herringbone hardwood floors and deep crown and baseboard moldings accentuate the space. The library and bedrooms are tucked on the north and east side of the home with a lovely streetscape below and a beautiful Candela building across the way. An eat-in kitchen can be configured from the original and the pantry is more than large enough to accommodate all your storage needs.

The eastern apartment is bright and airy with three exposures. Presently configured as four rooms this portion of the original home was two bedrooms and three staff rooms. It also has the makings of a luxurious, private sanctuary of a master suite with north, east and south exposures.

One of the most impressive, smaller luxury buildings on Fifth Avenue this 1926, 15 story, limestone-clad structure has been a cooperative since 1956. Designed in an Italian-Renaissance-palazzo style is truly elegant and one of the finest examples of this architecture in the city. The building has exemplary full-service with both doormen and elevator operators.
