Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Douglas Elliman Real Estate.
The building at 860 Fifth Avenue has a concierge, a security guard, a gym, a courtyard and an elevator, plus a bike room, storage space, laundry in the building and garage parking.
Apartment 5H is on the fifth floor, so the elevator is the everyday route in and out, which matters when you're carrying groceries or moving furniture. Inside, the apartment has two bedrooms and three full bathrooms, arranged as split bedrooms.
The primary suite spans the full Park-facing side of the apartment and has custom-built cabinetry, large closets and a generously sized en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom sits at the rear with its own bathroom, so the two rooms are well separated from each other, and a private storage bin is included with the sale.
The living room has oversized windows that look out over Central Park, and the enclosed balcony runs straight off it. It's the outdoor space the listing describes, and it's worth standing on it in person to judge how the view and the changing foliage look from there. A gracious foyer, with room for artwork, opens into the living room.
The kitchen has a wall of windows, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Miele dishwasher and a Bosch stove. The formal dining room sits next to it, with windows of its own, which suits a dinner party.
Central Park is about one minute on foot, and Ouri's Market is about ten minutes on foot.
