AMAZING OPPORTUNITY- MINT 4BR PREWAR 5th AVENUE CARNEGIE HILL DOORMAN BUILDING/FEELS LIKE A COUNTRY HOME WITH 63+/- sq ft.OF DIRECT CENTRAL PARK FRONTAGE/CAN BE LIVE WORK FOR MEDICAL OR THERAPIST USE/ELEVATED FIRST FLOOR SIMILAR TO PARLOR LEVEL IN A BROWNSTONE/PIN-DROP QUIET HOME From the moment you open the front door of this home, you know you have arrived somewhere special. An award-winning architect who handpicked all the materials used in construction thoughtfully redesigned the space for himself and his family to embrace a modern aesthetic providing spaces to cook, dine, relax or entertain. With no expense spared and renovated to perfection with high end finishes and fixtures, you can now be the lucky new owner of this impeccably designed crown jewel.

Located in a full-service prewar J.E.R. Carpenter cooperative building, this fabulous home has four bedrooms and three and a half-bathrooms with the living room and three of the bedrooms DIRECTLY FACING CENTRAL PARK offering excellent light. For the days you want to work from home, there is a windowed home office with a built-in desk and shelves. The home is pin-drop quiet as all the windows facing Fifth are new insulated glass windows with special dual density sound retardant.

The home can be used for live work if medical/therapist usage. Apartment renovation includes new electrical wiring, new plumbing and new telephone and data wiring. There are built-in speakers in five of the eight rooms, custom millwork throughout and six zone CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING and heating with Mitsubishi City-Multi system.

Enter the home through an entry foyer with custom stone flooring and a huge coat closet leading to a long hallway smartly turned into a media area/library with custom bookshelves where one can unwind with a favorite book or watch TV after the end of a long day. Across from the library, one finds a large powder room with wall to wall storage. Adjacent to the library is the stunning dining room with its own built-in bar ready to welcome family and friends for a delectable meal.

Beyond the dining room is the grand living room entered through French doors with a handsome wood burning marble fireplace surrounded with a blackened steel mantle, two oversized windows facing Central Park, wide plank bleached white oak floors from Austria( similar floors in library and dining room) and almost 10-foot ceilings. Next to the living room is the fully equipped kitchen , the heart of the home. Who would not want to linger in this kitchen with two side by side integrated Subzero refrigerators with freezer drawers, a Wolf Dual fuel range and steam oven, a Miele dishwasher, a Marvel wine refrigerator and a Vent-a-hood exhaust to the outside.

A huge kitchen island composed of natural marble, quart countertops, hand selected Larch cabinets and a built-in coffee station complete this fabulous kitchen. Three spacious bedrooms face Central Park. The first bedroom, now the den, can also serve as the primary bedroom and has large closets and a beautiful ensuite windowed bathroom with stone floors, a spa shower with a rain shower head and a Toto Carlyle toilet. The other two bedrooms share a Jack and Jill windowed bathroom with dual sinks, a tub/shower that has a rain shower head and stone floors.

All the closets in the apartment have built-in closet systems, door activated lights and solid core paneled doors with solid Brass Baldwin estate hardware. Now to the primary suite. Tucked away from the other bedrooms for complete privacy, a door off the kitchen leads to a separate corridor lined with closets and a FULL-SIZED LG WASHER AND VENTED DRYER before arriving at the bedroom. Large enough for a king-sized bed, there are two hidden wall safes, custom shelves and built-in speakers.

Open to the bedroom is the sophisticated primary bathroom with a spa shower, double sinks and a linen closet. 1148 Fifth has a full-time door staff, porters and a live-in super.
