785 Fifth Avenue Upper East Side Apartment For Sale

ICONIC FIFTH AVE HOME OVERLOOKING CENTRAL PARK

An exceptional and rare offering of one of the most iconic vantage points in all of New York City. Perched high above Fifth Avenue, Residence 14A at The Parc V boasts uniquely sweeping, cinematic views over Central Park, The Plaza Hotel and the glittering skyline of Billionaire's Row through oversized picture windows wrapping the building's facade. This majestic corner six-room residence offers approximately 2,600 SF of elegantly arranged interior space and open views from every single window, all within one of the finest white-glove cooperatives on Fifth Avenue's coveted Gold Coast.

Entered from a semi-private landing, 14A welcomes you with a gracious central gallery glimpsing dramatic postcard views of Central Park through the living room's wall of windows. The living room is adorned with intricate crown molding, handsome built-ins and tasteful custom millwork throughout. Immediately adjacent to the living, the library continues the glorious views over Central Park and the surrounding medley of prewar and modern architecture. Originally a second park-facing bedroom, the library has an en-suite marble bathroom with a stall shower as well as a large walk-in closet and can easily be restored as a full-time bedroom, per your needs.

A sanctuary in the sky, the corner primary suite is enveloped in oversized picture windows to the West and the North framing uninterrupted panoramas of Central Park and its skyline, providing a daily ritual of waking up and going to sleep to the city's most glorious and iconic views. There is a custom window seat, a dedicated vanity overlooking the park to the North, two walk-in closets and two marble bathrooms, one of which is a four-fixture retreat with a deep soaking tub and a glass-enclosed stall shower.

Central Park is visible from every room of this home, including the formal dining room which has views onto the lush park foliage beyond the masonry of The Pierre to the northwest. Perfectly scaled for entertaining at any level, the dining room easily accommodates even the most lavish dinner parties. Guests are serviced by a powder room off of the gallery, adjacent to a walk-in coat closet. 

Perfectly situated off of the dining room, the windowed eat-in kitchen features a plush corner banquette, creating a cozy scene for casual dining and/or quiet morning coffee. The kitchen is outfitted with sleek high-gloss cabinetry and generous pantry storage, granite countertops and a neutral tiled backsplash. The appliance suite includes a Thermador six-burner gas range with double ovens, a Sub-Zero refrigerator with double freezer drawer as well as a full-size LG dishwasher. Just beyond the kitchen is an unusually large home office/staff room with a side park view, and there is a third bathroom with a stall shower as well as a laundry closet with a washer/dryer off of the service entry.

The Parc V occupies a premier position at the southern edge of Central Park, surrounded by some of Manhattan's most prestigious landmarks, including The Plaza, The Sherry Netherland and The Pierre, and at the center of the city's finest culture, shopping and dining. Built in 1963 by renowned architectural firm Emery Roth & Sons, the limestone-clad cooperative offers residents full-time lobby attendants, a live-in resident manager, a newly renovated fitness room, private storage, central laundry and a parking garage.
