880 Fifth Avenue Upper East Side Apartment For Sale

Refined. Architecturally inspired. Move-in ready with sweeping Park views.

Step into Apartment 7C at 880 Fifth Avenue - a transcendent one-bedroom, one-and-a-half bath co-op that marries classic art deco elegance with modern architectural vision. 

You arrive through an elegant foyer into an open-concept living/dining space elevated by direct western Central Park views from every room and a divine south facing window with Grand Army Plaza in view.  The views of the modern skyscrapers on Billionaires Row are most pleasing. Natural light, serene sightlines, and a sense of calm distinguish this home. The kitchen, now opened up to the living room, balances function and style - top-tier appliances (Wolf, Sub-Zero, Miele), sleek Dekton countertops, and no detail overlooked. 

The primary bedroom is generous in scale, anchored by those same Park views, with excellent closet space, including two custom-designed walk-in closets. The full bath impresses with premium Toto fixtures; a convenience-enhancing powder room adds a second half-bath so guests never need intrude on private quarters. The incomparable laundry closet (with its fold-out ironing board ) and thoughtfully designed storage will exceed the expectations of the most meticulous laundress. 

What sets this apartment apart is that it is the result of the productive collaboration of sophisticated owners who have created two other extraordinary minimalistic homes to be thoroughly enjoyed with the assistance of talented architects. Its architectural pedigree is as follows: the renovation is not just cosmetic - it's been masterfully curated by Resolution: 4 Architecture (RE4A), the acclaimed NYC-based design firm known for marrying modern prefabrication, sustainability, and intelligent space planning. Their work here elevates every element - proportion, finish, flow - so this isn't just a home, it's an experience in architectural refinement.
