A sun flooded classic eight that captivates from the moment one walks through the front door. Triple exposures and 53' of Central Park frontage are enhanced by a magnificent loft-like living experience surrounded by nature. The welcoming entry gallery with powder room and coat closet sets the stage for the current owner's meticulous renovation and the crowning glory of this apartment: a loft-like great room which is the only of its kind at 880 Fifth Avenue! This inviting and commanding space offers a wall of large picture windows with direct Park views, a South facing window with views to Grand Army Plaza and a North facing window with views to the Metropolitan Museum. The windowed kitchen with custom cabinetry, and Viking appliances, can either be opened to the great room or closed by way of pocket doors and latched wood panels. The unusually large master bedroom suite is adjoined by a generous home office with pocket doors, abundant closet space and an en suite master bath. There are three additional bedrooms which each overlook tree-lined 69th Street and two additional bathrooms. The full-sized Miele washer/dryer is housed in a separate laundry area. Thru-wall air conditioning system and Thermopane windows with Lutron blinds are only a few of the many thoughtfully conceived extras. 880 Fifth Avenue is a premier cooperative built by famed architect Emery Roth. This debt-free building enjoys a longstanding reputation for extraordinary service and amenities that include a 24-hour garage with reduced shareholder rate ($495/month), concierge, attended elevators and a beautiful gym. There is a central laundry room and the use of a storage bin transfers with the apartment. Pied-a-terres are permitted and the building allows up to 50% financing. Purchaser pays 3% flip tax.
