1485 5th Avenue 26D

Searching for nearly 3,000 square feet, more than 200 square feet of private outdoor space and spectacular Manhattan views? You may want to expand your search. Perched on the 26th floor of Fifth on the Park, Residence 26D offers approximately 2,890 square feet, 245 square feet of private balcony space, floor-to-ceiling windows and sweeping east, west and south exposures encompassing the Manhattan skyline and open sky. The current owners selected 26D for its exceptional proportions, open layout and dramatic outlook, then worked closely with their architect and contractors on an extensive gut renovation, rebuilding the residence to their specifications. The result is a highly customized home with sophisticated finishes, integrated technology and thoughtful architectural details. The expansive living and dining area is surrounded by windows and opens directly onto the balcony, where custom planters create the opportunity for an elevated garden. Original concrete columns were uncovered, cleaned and polished, while a custom window seat with built-in storage occupies the southwest corner. At the heart of the home is a chef-quality kitchen with an approximately 18-foot island incorporating a wine refrigerator and two dishwashers. Custom cabinetry, Sub-Zero refrigeration, a GE Monogram gas double oven and grill, and an enclosed walk-in pantry with a large EuroCave wine refrigerator complete the space. The flexible layout currently provides three bedrooms, with the original fourth incorporated into the primary suite to create an expansive walk-in dressing room and separate windowed home office. It can be converted back to a fourth bedroom if desired. The primary suite also features a renovated bathroom with a large walk-in shower and accessibility features. Two additional bedrooms offer excellent light and ample closets. White oak hardwood floors finished in a pale grey stain extend throughout, while custom washi paper panels created by a Japanese artist enhance selected doors. Lutron solar shades, bedroom blackout shades and an extensive Savant smart-home system control lighting, shades, temperature and fans. Concealed wiring supports integrated high-quality audio, and select Linn speakers and NAD amplifiers may be included as part of an acceptable sale. Additional conveniences include abundant storage, an in-unit washer and dryer and powder room.
