About This Property
Premier Location, Sensational Orientation
Along Fifth Avenue at the corner of 64th Street, building number 828 sits in perfect proximity to some of the most respected and influential global firms, the finest museums, dining, and retail options in New York, all with frontage on 843 acres of Frederick Olmsted and Calvert Vaux's masterpiece of urban landscape architecture, Central Park. Arsenal Gallery, a New York landmark that served as the first home of the American Museum of Natural History, now hosts several art and photography exhibitions annually. It is among the treasured views enjoyable from 828.
Perched on the fourth floor of a stunning Beaux-Arts Mansion built before the turn of the 19th century for coal baron James Berwind and converted to a co-op with full-time staff and flexible rules, this full-floor corner residence sits among Fifth Avenue's most exclusive pre-war addresses. Crossing into the building's elegant and intimate lobby on East 64th Street is to be transported to an era of historic craftsmanship and urban prosperity.
The flat itself (#5) unfolds west to east across the entire floor, brilliantly illuminated by natural light from sunrise to sunset, and it offers a front-row seat to the changing seasons across Central Park. Presently, the layout is configured with a master bedroom suite with a custom home office more aptly described as a professional sanctuary, and an en suite guest bedroom, both tucked smartly into the eastern portion of the plan. Along Fifth, a strikingly capacious west and north-facing living room invites high design and a curated art collection to complement its natural backdrop.
At its center, the open kitchen and dining room converge in form and function to bridge semi-formal with chic. A north-facing wall of windows and decorative fireplace lend soft light and playful warmth to intimate gatherings. Recessed lighting elements and mechanized screens and shades provide uncanny flexibility around ambience. There is also a third full bathroom, which was perfectly planned to serve a contemplated third bedroom. Our alternate floor plan expresses that 3-bedroom option.
Permitted pied-a-terre ownership, sublets, and, of course, pets only enhances what is a remarkable opportunity to invest, create, align, and reward yourself with the finest New York has to offer. Contact us for a private tour.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.
Built as a Beaux-Arts mansion for the coal baron James Berwind, 828 Fifth Avenue has been converted to a co-op, and this apartment takes up the full fourth floor as a corner residence. It runs 2,761 square feet with three bedrooms and four bathrooms, laid out from west to east.
The living room faces west and north, and that's what sets the light apart here. Central Park is about one minute away on foot, and the listing notes a park view from the home. On the June solstice, a west-facing window gets direct sun from about 1:11 PM to 8:07 PM, around seven hours, and north-facing windows pick up early morning and evening sun in summer. Nearby buildings can block some of that.
The primary bedroom suite and a custom home office sit in the eastern part of the plan, along with an en suite guest bedroom, so the private rooms are grouped together. The open kitchen and dining room meet at the center of the apartment. That keeps cooking connected to the rest of the home, though there's less separation between cooking, working and relaxing.
The living room has a decorative fireplace, recessed lighting, and mechanized screens and shades, which give you real control over how the room feels through the day. Central air and an in-unit washer and dryer make everyday routines easier to manage without leaving the apartment.
A third full bathroom was planned to serve a third bedroom, so the layout can work as a guest room or an office. The building has an elevator and full-time staff, and pets are allowed. Co-op purchases go through board review, so any question about that process is one to take to your broker or an attorney.
Daniel is about four minutes away on foot, and Morton Williams supermarket is about ten. The 5 Av/59 St station, with the N, R and W trains, is about six minutes on foot, and the Frick Collection is about nine minutes away.
