Throughout, original details, such as beautiful hardwood floors and period moldings abound and are complemented by modern conveniences added in a comprehensive and meticulous renovation, including new central air conditioning and windows throughout. Located directly across from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park, this apartment’s impressive scale and generous room proportions make it an ideal apartment for grand entertaining as well as an exceptionally comfortable lifestyle. Occupying the seventh floor, this full-floor simplex boasts outlooks onto the Museum’s iconic limestone facade and the fountains and trees of David H. Koch Plaza, as well as spectacular panoramic vistas over Central Park’s dramatic seasonal foliage. With open views in four directions, sunlight is a constant in this most delightful home.

1020 Fifth Avenue is architecturally notable for its ingenious design of staggered Living Room floors, which has created showstopping Grands Salons with soaring high ceilings on some levels, such as in the current, very fortunate residence. Featuring a nearly 14’ ceiling height, very dramatic scale, three sets of enormous windows, and a wood-burning fireplace, the spectacular Living Room is stepped down from the rest of the apartment. Nearby, the very handsome corner Library boasts spectacular southern and western sunlight and a wood-burning fireplace, and the expansive, stately Dining Room, also with a wood-burning fireplace, complete the triumvirate of very welcoming entertainment rooms. A Powder Room and a coat closet are conveniently accessible. Beyond, a cheerful and sunny chef’s eat-in Kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances and abundant storage is supported by a convenient Office and a Bedroom with an ensuite bath. The tranquil private quarters, separated from the rest of the residence by a long, wide hallway, feature a very wonderful corner Primary Bedroom with a wood-burning fireplace, an ensuite bath, and a capacious walk-in closet. There are three additional Bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom and very ample closets.

1020 Fifth Avenue features an attractive and quiet canopied entrance on 83rd Street with beautiful sidewalk landscaping. Impeccable staffing includes a full-time doorman and porters, a concierge service, and a resident superintendent. Pets are welcome. Designed in 1925 by the renowned firm of Warren & Wetmore, the primary architects of Grand Central Terminal, this Beaux-Arts masterpiece remains one of the supreme residential buildings in Manhattan.
