About the Listing 7542 - 54515,52901
Unobstructed, cinematic views over Central Park and the Reservoir define this exceptional northwest corner residence at 1049 Fifth Avenue. From sunrise light to golden hour, every major room is immersed in sweeping park vistas, creating a rare sense of openness and tranquility high above the city. The expansive double-exposure great room anchors the home, offering an extraordinary setting for both entertaining and everyday living, with equally stunning outlooks from the formal dining room and family room. The residence offers a gracious and highly functional layout with excellent bones and scale throughout. A separate living room with custom library shelving provides a more intimate retreat, while the spacious kitchen, butler’s pantry, andwasher/dryer support both daily living and entertaining. Privately positioned, the bedroom wing can be closed off from the main living areas, creating a quiet and flexible living environment. The corner primary suite is a serene sanctuary with double exposures, strong natural light, a walk-in closet with dressing area, and a windowed bath with double vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower. Three additional bedrooms offer generous proportions and flexibility for guests, work, or additional living space. While the home has been well maintained over time, it presents a compelling opportunity for a new owner to renovate and elevate the residence—particularly the kitchen and primary bath—into a truly world-class apartment. For the discerning buyer or investor, the combination of scale, layout, and irreplaceable views offers exceptional long-term upside in one of Manhattan’s most tightly held locations. Originally built in 1928 and completely reimagined in 1991 by Costas Kondylis, 1049 Fifth Avenue is a boutique full-service condominium blending prewar character with modern construction. Notably, it is one of the very few condominium buildings along the prestigious Fifth Avenue “Gold Coast,” where the majority of surrounding properties are cooperatives—offering a distinct advantage in flexibility, ownership structure, and long-term investment potential. Residents enjoy white-glove service including a 24-hour doorman and concierge, live-in superintendent, private storage and garage. Perfectly positioned on Museum Mile, moments from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, this is a rare opportunity to create a bespoke home overlooking Central Park. Note: the photos have been digitally staged and foliage digitally enhanced to reflect a spring bloom. Please schedule a tour to see this home and views in person!
