1165 5th Ave #8C, New York, NY 10029

MOVE-IN READY CARPENTER SUPER 8! This thoughtfully renovated 4 bedroom apartment retains all of the original charm of famed architect J.E.R. Carpenter’s 1920s design with its high beamed ceilings, original Herringbone wood flooring, moldings, wood-burning fireplace, enormous rooms and large windows, but is offered with all of the modern luxuries that meet high standards. Such modern upgrades include a renovated eat-in kitchen, a sound system, home office, vented washer/dryer, through the wall air conditioning, stripped and hand-waxed original ash wood doors, and stunning extra wide new Marvin 6x6/8x8 paned windows. With only two apartments per floor (and a handsome vestibule at that), you enter the foyer and are immediately captivated by the warmth of the apartment despite the enormous room proportions. The oversized living room faces North onto 98thstreet where you can see Central Park’s rolling East Meadow. Through French doors, the formal dining room has been cleverly converted into a library/den with elegant custom book shelves hiding a comprehensive home entertainment system including a high definition projector, power retracting projection screen, and ultimate surround sound. Streammovies, watch sports, or just dial flip in your own personal theater! The primary bedroom features an excellent Northern exposure, a windowed bathroom ensuite, and the best walk-in closet... one that appears to go on and on. The second and third bedrooms are located off their own separate hallway, are calm and quiet with good light and a shared bathroom in between. Both rooms have been freshly painted to perfection. The super sunny kitchen is perfect for any home cook. Appliances include a Subzero refrigerator, a Thermador dishwasher, and a Wolf stove. In addition, this large eat-in kitchen boasts a built-in banquette for casual dining and the butler’s pantry offers more storage and a Marvel wine fridge. Finally, the two original maids rooms have been converted into a home office and laundry room (with a vented dryer) and a full third renovated windowed bathroom in between. The bonus is that a new buyer can keep a home office plus the fourth smaller bedroom. Built in 1926, 1165 Fifth Avenue is one of Carnegie Hill’s most coveted white glove prewar cooperatives on Fifth Avenue, offering a 24-hour doorman, a live in resident manager, a gym, a central laundry room, included storage for each apartment, and a dedicated bicycle room. Pets are welcome. There is a 2% flip tax and 50% financing is allowed.
