It is our distinct pleasure to present Residence 7C at 1050 Fifth Avenue, an exceptional home at one of Manhattan's most coveted addresses, ideally situated at the corner of 86th Street & Fifth Avenue & directly across from Central Park.
Previously a two-bedroom, two-bath residence, this remarkable home has been meticulously renovated & thoughtfully reimagined into a grand one-bedroom with one full bath & a beautifully appointed powder room. The result is a sophisticated, urban loft-like residence distinguished by an extraordinary sense of scale, volume & flow-offering expansive living & entertaining spaces that are both elegant & effortlessly livable, The current configuration transforms the former second bedroom into an elegant dining space, while retaining the proportions & graciousness of a classic Fifth Avenue home. The offering plan reflects the original two-bedroom, two-bath, providing an added measure of flexibility for a future owner who may wish to easily restore the residence to its original two-bedroom & two-bath layout.
Bathed in radiant southern light, the apartment enjoys a view of Central Park through oversized windows, creating a luminous backdrop throughout the day. From the gracious entry foyer, the residence unfolds into an impressive entertaining environment, with a spectacular living room & generous dining area that seamlessly flow together. The living room currently accommodates a baby grand piano & is equally suited to intimate evenings or larger gatherings. A discreet walk-in closet near the living area provides additional storage, while gleaming hardwood floors & exceptional natural light further enhance the sense of refinement throughout.
The windowed kitchen is a masterclass in both form & function, appointed with sleek Corian countertops & backsplash, bespoke walnut cabinetry & abundant storage. Premium appliances include a Gaggenau range, Miele dishwasher & Sub-Zero refrigerator with dual freezers, complemented by a separate pantry closet. The striking powder room, finished in Vermont structural slate & complemented by two closets, was thoughtfully incorporated from the home's original full-bath configuration. Its placement preserves the apartment's effortless flow while offering the flexibility to restore a second full bath as part of a future two-bedroom configuration.
A private hallway leads to the serene primary suite, which may be discreetly enclosed by a concealed door for heightened privacy. This tranquil retreat features custom built-ins with elegant sliding art panels, generous closet space & a dedicated study area with beautiful views of Central Park & the skyline. The en-suite marble bath is a sanctuary in its own right, showcasing a Japanese tiled accent wall, an exquisite walk-in shower & three additional closets. Meticulously curated with extraordinary attention to detail, this sophisticated residence is truly move-in ready & offers the rare combination of grand proportions, thoughtful design & an enviable Central Park setting.
Residents of 1050 Fifth Avenue enjoy an elevated full-service lifestyle including a 24-hour doorman & concierge & live-in resident manager. Amenities further include a fitness room, bicycle area, storage facilities, laundry room & an on-site garage with preferential rates. The building's roof deck offers sweeping panoramic vistas of Central Park & the city beyond. Pets are welcome. Financing of up to 50% is permitted, along with a 1% flip tax.
