Description

Central Park views from four rooms, a wood-burning fireplace, and generous prewar proportions distinguish Residence 4A at 1158 Fifth Avenue. Set at the tree line, this approximately 2,500-square-foot classic eight combines gracious entertaining spaces, three park-facing bedrooms, and thoughtfully incorporated modern comforts.

A semi-private elevator landing opens to a nearly 20-foot gallery, offering a welcoming introduction to the home’s exceptional scale. The park-facing living room stretches nearly 25 feet, with the wood-burning fireplace as its natural focal point. A separate formal dining room, beamed ceilings, and richly toned wood floors create a classic Fifth Avenue setting equally suited to entertaining and everyday living.

The expansive, windowed eat-in kitchen features SieMatic cabinetry, limestone countertops and floors, and a substantial center island with seating. Sub-Zero refrigeration and wine storage complement Miele appliances, including two dishwashers, wall ovens, and a built-in coffee system. Generous preparation space and storage make the kitchen as practical as it is inviting.

All three bedrooms overlook Central Park. The primary bedroom includes an adjoining dressing area and windowed bath, while a separate den offers space for a family room, library, or quiet retreat. An additional office or staff room beside the kitchen provides further flexibility. The current layout includes three full, windowed bathrooms.

Comfort extends to the home’s practical details: Mitsubishi multi-zone air conditioning with individual room controls, insulated windows, extensive custom-fitted closets, and a dedicated laundry room with a washer, vented dryer, and utility sink. These features support a comfortable home today, with room to introduce your own style over time.

For those considering a different configuration, an alternate floor plan illustrates the potential for a combined park-facing living and dining room, an expanded primary suite, and a powder room.

Built in 1924, 1158 Fifth Avenue is a full-service prewar cooperative with a distinctive double-height lobby, full-time doorman and concierge, resident manager, fitness center, bicycle storage, and private storage. Central Park is directly across Fifth Avenue, with Museum Mile, the Reservoir, and Madison Avenue close at hand. Pets are welcome. Financing is permitted up to 40%, and a 2.5% flip tax is payable by the purchaser.
