Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Serhant.
A windowed foyer opens into the great room, which has a wet bar, a powder room and northern exposure. The king-size bedroom suite has full-height French doors onto a west-facing terrace, along with a custom Molteni walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom.
That terrace gets afternoon and evening sun. On the summer solstice, direct sun from the west runs from about 1:11 PM to 8:07 PM, and in winter from about 12:34 PM to 4:07 PM. These are open-horizon figures, so nearby buildings can block some of it.
The custom Molteni kitchen has an eat-in island, polished Graffiti marble countertops and fully integrated Miele appliances. A bronze mirror backsplash and a Dornbracht faucet finish the work area, and there's a dishwasher in the kitchen. An island you can sit at is useful when cooking and company share one room.
The second bedroom has a large reach-in closet and a custom double vanity, which suits a guest room or an office.
A Miele washer and dryer are in the unit, which is a daily convenience worth having in Manhattan.
The residences are part of Mandarin Oriental Residences, Fifth Avenue, developed by SHVO with the Mandarin Oriental hotel group. The building has a concierge, an elevator, an indoor pool, a sauna, a spa and a roof deck, and pets are allowed. The 5 Av/53 St stop on the E and F is about 1 minute on foot, MoMA is about 4 minutes away, and Central Park is about 7 minutes on foot. The home has city, park and skyline views.
