Co-op, 785 5TH Avenue #12AB, Upper East Side-Carnegie Hill - Real Estate Brooklyn

Description

Forget the dizzy towers of Billionaire's Row; the unique vantage of this magnificent Fifth Avenue home offers the perfect perspective on Central Park. The entire length of the apartment offers an iconic panorama of the Park, including The Pond, Hallett Nature Sanctuary, and Wollman Skating Rink in the foreground, framed by the Plaza Hotel, the Metropolitan Club, and the stunning skyline of Central Park West. And the 12th floor is the ideal altitude: higher than the tallest trees in Central Park, but not so vertiginous that the details are lost. In Summer, cherish the endless green oasis. In Fall, watch the leaves turn dazzling vermillion. In Winter, see the sun set over the ice skaters, when the Park is blanketed in snow. In Spring, behold the Park in glorious bloom.

The centerpiece of this apartment is the palatial living room, with its 30-foot expanse of Central Park views. But that is just the beginning. The elegant library, the stylish office, the two northern bedrooms, and the enormous guest suite also face directly onto the Park. And the master suite is the most breathtaking of all, at the corner of the building, with luxuriant vistas both north and west. In short, the twenty-one windows of this magnificent home offer perhaps the best views in New York City. It simply must be seen to be believed.

Purchase as a primary residence or pied-a-terre; international purchasers are welcome.

The stately Parc V, designed by renowned architect Emory Roth, is one of Manhattan's premier white-glove buildings, and its recently renovated lobby rivals any building on Fifth Avenue. An exceptional full-service staff, with two doormen on duty at all times and a live-in superintendent, ensures the highest level of service, discretion, and security. Mail and newspapers are delivered to your door on a daily basis. Maintenance includes all utilities.

This "iconic Fifth Avenue address" (New York Post, Mar. 14, 2025) is literally at the epicenter of it all: surrounded by luxury boutiques (including Bergdorf Goodman, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Zegna, and Harry Winston); top restaurants (including Avra, Le Bilboquet, and Cipriani); and iconic hotels/bars (including the Sherry Netherland, the Pierre, and, of course, the Plaza). To top it off, Audemars Piguet, perhaps the most stylish of the "big three" luxury watch brands (and a crown-jewel retail tenant) has just chosen Parc V for its flagship boutique.
