Occupying the entire seventh floor of 817 Fifth Avenue, this beautifully renovated 12-room residence, originally configured with four bedrooms, has been reimagined as an expansive two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home combining grand proportions, exceptional craftsmanship, and magnificent Central Park views. A private elevator landing opens into a striking onyx-floored foyer, immediately establishing the residence's quality. Beyond is an extraordinary 25-by-28-foot double living room with oversized picture windows framing direct views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline. Rich wood paneling, extensive custom millwork, and a ventless fireplace with a sculptural stone surround create an elegant setting for both large-scale entertaining and comfortable everyday living. Adjacent to the living room is a handsome media room with custom cabinetry and integrated audiovisual equipment. The formal dining room is conveniently positioned near the windowed kitchen, which features abundant custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops and floors, and generous storage. A powder room is discreetly located off the main gallery. The private quarters are anchored by an impressive corner primary suite. Oversized windows capture beautiful Central Park and open northern views, while refined fabric wall coverings and custom carpeting create a serene atmosphere. The suite includes an extensive dressing area, a 12-foot walk-in closet, and a luxurious primary bathroom finished in richly patterned onyx, a large soaking tub, and a separate glass-enclosed shower. The generously proportioned second bedroom offers open eastern city views, excellent closet space, and a newly renovated en-suite marble bathroom with a shower. Additional features include a substantial laundry and utility room, extensive storage, central air conditioning, and a sophisticated recessed lighting plan. Ceiling heights are just under 10 feet, with dropped sections thoughtfully designed to accommodate the integrated lighting and mechanical systems. Completed to an exceptionally high standard, this distinguished full-floor residence offers grand entertaining spaces and mesmerizing Central Park views in one of Fifth Avenue’s most desirable locations.
