1140 5 AVENUE · #10C

1140 Fifth Avenue, 10C Carnegie Hill Gem Meticulously and beautifully renovated to an exceptional standard; no expense has been spared, and no detail overlooked in the creation of this jewel of an apartment in the heart of Carnegie Hill. In pristine move-in condition, this desirable home is located on a high floor of a much sought-after pre-war co-op. A rarely available private elevator landing is a gift from the original celebrated architect, Frederick Filmore French, who designed the building in Neo-Renaissance style in 1921 and so liked his creation that he retained the original penthouse duplex for himself. Apartment 10C benefits from an extraordinary amount of sunlight and wide-open city exposures to the east whilst the southern exposure onto East 95th Street provides a view to Central Park. The recent renovation was all-encompassing and includes features such as new herringbone quarter sawn oak hardwood floors and 8 foot raised doorways that further accentuate the almost 10' ceilings. The installation of steel and glass pocket doors creates a striking architectural detail, and lighting fixtures have been recessed into the beams to maintain the ceiling height. A professionally installed sound system with ceiling speakers is operated by Sonos. The generous entry foyer opens into the 23' living room and spacious formal dining room with built-in bar and wine refrigerator, thereby creating a wonderful flow for living and entertaining. The double aspect primary bedroom occupies the southeast corner of the building and enjoys exposures in both directions. Fine custom millwork was employed to create a copious array of fitted closets. The windowed primary bathroom was substantially enlarged and designed as a well-appointed marble and porcelain tiled spa-like space, with double sink, a large shower and controlled radiant heat floors. The second bedroom, with two exposures to the east and north, is currently used as a media room and has a full windowed bathroom featuring an intricate black and white tile design. This bathroom is also fitted with controlled radiant heat floors. Glass and steel pocket doors divide this bedroom suite from the dining room, and the same custom door design has been employed to separate the dining room and kitchen. The chef's kitchen has also been enlarged from the original layout with open shelving and cleverly integrated lighting, and features Ann Sacks floor tile and marble counter tops. The kitchen’s top of the line appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, instant hot/filtered cold water dispenser and Gaggenau ovens, gas stove and vented range hood. There is a separate laundry with full size machines and a vented dryer. 1140 Fifth Avenue is an impeccably maintained pre-war co-op with 24 hour doorman service, porter and live-in Super. The apartment has a private storage bin in the basement, through wall air conditioning, and the architecturally beautiful lobby was decorated by the legendary Ralph Lauren. The building allows 60% financing, and there is a 2% Flip Tax payable by the buyer.
