The spacious, airy home features generously-sized rooms enhanced by elegant refinished hardwood floors, freshly detailed walls, and oversized windows that bring in lovely natural light.
The gracious entry foyer with a walk-in closet welcomes you inside, spilling into an expansive great room perfect for living, dining, and entertaining. Adjoining the separate dining area is a sunny windowed kitchen equipped with ample cabinetry and counter space.
The master bedroom is a luxurious retreat with plenty of room for a king-size bed and furniture, and a private en-suite bathroom. Both the master and second bathrooms are adorned with gorgeous Sherle Wagner marble for a spa-like effect. The second bedroom is also well-proportioned with windows on double exposures. Other highlights of this special residence include custom closets throughout, and electronically-controlled window shades.
Conceived in 1950 by Sylvan Bien, 860 Fifth Avenue is a handsome 20-story postwar white brick building with a full-time doorman, concierge, onsite parking garage (rates are discounted for shareholders), fitness room, laundry facility, garden, bicycle room, wine cellar, and storage. Washers/dryers are allowed, as are pets, subject to a board interview.
Topping the appeal is the prime location off Central Park, in the Upper East Side’s coveted and sophisticated Lenox Hill neighborhood near fine dining, luxury boutiques, and convenient transportation. 50% financing is permitted. There is a 2% flip tax which is paid by the buyer, and a monthly assessment of $308.20 scheduled to end August 2020.
