1035 5th Avenue #10A Manhattan, NY 10028

With stunning views of Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the New York City skyline, this high floor, corner 3 bedroom 3.5 bath apartment is not to be missed. It has grand proportions, an ideal floor plan, and is a classically glamorous New York home.

An elegant semi-private elevator vestibule opens to a gracious entry hall, large enough for its own seating area, with three closets, including a double-depth coat closet. One end of the hall opens to the perfectly proportioned living room, with a wood burning fireplace, beamed ceilings, and large tilt & turn picture windows with spectacular views of Central Park and the changing seasons. At the other end of the entry gallery is an elegant and spacious formal dining room, which can easily accommodate large dinner parties and which doubles as a library, with a wall of built-in bookshelves.

Adjacent to the dining room is the eat-in chef's kitchen, featuring marble countertops and backsplash, extensive cabinetry, a large center island with a walnut countertop and seating, stainless steel appliances including a Miele dishwasher, Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer, and a suite of top-of-the-line Viking appliances including the cooktop, wall oven, microwave and refrigerator. A side-by-side washer and dryer is hidden behind cabinet doors under the counter.

From the entry gallery, a hallway separated by a pocket door leads to the private bedroom wing. The corner primary bedroom suite is an oasis of calm, with western views high above the park, and south over the Metropolitan Museum to the midtown skyline. A sprawling bedchamber has ample room for a seating area. The suite also features a large walk-in closet and a luxurious marble-clad bath with a glass-enclosed shower and separate soaking tub. Down the hall is a guest bedroom with an en-suite windowed bathroom. Adjacent to the kitchen is a spacious third bedroom, with en-suite bath, also perfect for guests, staff or a study. A powder room off the entry hall completes this gracious home.
