Description

With sweeping Central Park views from four major rooms, Residence 4A at 1158 Fifth Avenue is a home of remarkable scale, elegance, and quiet distinction. Occupying a prized position within a premier Carnegie Hill cooperative, this expansive eight-room residence captures the romance of classic Fifth Avenue living while offering the comfort and functionality of a more modern renovation.

Entered via a semi-private elevator landing, the residence opens to an impressive gallery of nearly 20 feet—a gracious introduction that immediately conveys the home’s architectural stature. The living room is richly proportioned and filled with natural light, with oversized park-facing windows and a wood-burning fireplace creating a setting that feels both sophisticated and deeply inviting. Throughout, the apartment is defined by generous room dimensions, beautiful flow, and the kind of understated grandeur that never goes out of style.

The formal dining room lends itself beautifully to entertaining, while the eat-in kitchen has been finished with a tailored, contemporary sensibility. Extensive custom cabinetry, expansive stone countertops, a large seating island, and top-tier appliances come together in a space that is both visually clean and exceptionally functional.

Set apart from the entertaining rooms, the private quarters offer a sense of calm and discretion. The primary suite is spacious and serene, with lovely open outlooks, substantial closet space, and a large en-suite bath. Two additional bedrooms and baths are equally well considered, allowing for flexibility without compromise. Central air and an in-unit washer/dryer bring a seamless practicality to a home otherwise defined by classic elegance.

Residence 4A is, above all, a home of presence: gracious, timeless, and beautifully positioned along one of Fifth Avenue’s most iconic stretches, directly across from Central Park.

Built in 1924, 1158 Fifth Avenue is a landmarked prewar white-glove cooperative designed by C. Howard Krane and Kenneth Franzheim. With full-time doorman and concierge service, a resident manager, fitness center, bike storage, and private storage, the building combines exceptional service with the architectural distinction expected of one of Carnegie Hill’s most established Fifth Avenue addresses. Located on Museum Mile and directly across from Central Park, it offers a rare balance of parkfront calm, cultural richness, and classic Upper East Side prestige, just moments from the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, Madison Avenue, and some of the Upper East Side’s most refined cultural and culinary destinations. The cooperative permits financing up to 40%. Listing courtesy of Compass ...
