1215 5TH Avenue 11/12

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

A six-burner Viking range with a vented hood and a Sub-Zero refrigerator anchor the windowed eat-in kitchen, and the marble countertops and wall of storage keep it practical for everyday cooking. A separate wet bar with a sink and two wine and beverage fridges sits nearby, so drinks and dinner guests don't have to crowd the cooking space.

The entry foyer is the first room you reach, and it opens onto Central Park views that carry into the corner living room and the formal dining room. The listing also describes city views and park views, so you get more than one outlook from the main rooms.

The primary bedroom faces south and has its own en-suite bathroom along with access to the bathroom off the library, which the listing calls a double bathroom suite. Around the June solstice, a south-facing window can get direct sun from about 9:55 AM to 4:01 PM, though nearby buildings can block it.

Herringbone and parquet hardwood floors run through the home, and a gas fireplace adds a warm focal point. The library off the foyer could become a fifth bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom, and the lower level has a TV room, a windowed home office and three bedrooms. One of those bedrooms is now a dressing and storage room that could be used as a third bedroom again.

1215 Fifth Avenue is a 1929 elevator cooperative with 16 stories and 62 units. The listing mentions full-time doormen, a gym, a courtyard with a basketball hoop, a bike room, storage bins and a common laundry room. Central Park is about one minute away on foot, the 6 train at 103 St is about seven minutes on foot, and the Museum of the City of New York is about two minutes away.
