1040 5th Ave #14A New, York, NY 10028 listing details

This architectural masterpiece was created in a prewar context that enjoys unparalleled direct views of Central Park and across to the Westside, the Reservoir, the midtown skyline and down Fifth Avenue. This is a stunning result of a 3-year extensive renovation by Shelton, Mindel & Associates, which was recently featured in Architectural Digest. As you enter from a private elevator landing into a center gallery, you proceed into the living room which has west and south facing exposures. The wood burning fireplace adds to the charm. Additionally, there is a formal dining room with planti...ng terrace and a library/media room. Rounding off the public rooms is a designer chef's kitchen which includes a dining area and an adjoining playroom/home office, as well as a mud room and a full laundry room. A staff bedroom and bathroom are adjacent to the kitchen. A hallway leads to the gracious master suite with its own terrace, an en suite bathroom, a sitting room and 2 walk-in closets. Two additional bedrooms each have bathrooms en suite. Custom designed fixtures, finishes and lighting abound, pocket doors throughout in order to facilitate flow for contemporary daily living. Designed by renowned architect Rosario Candela and built in 1930, 1040 is one of the most highly regarded and sought after buildings on Fifth Avenue. Show more
