1040 Fifth Avenue was completed in 1930 and is located near the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the Upper East Side.
Its 27 apartments offer sumptuous but comfortable layouts: each unit has a spacious entrance gallery leading to an even larger, 20- to 30-foot-long living room, along with a library and dining room, each with its own fireplace. The large kitchen, pantry, maid’s room and servant’s hall are discreetly pushed to the back. Apartments also have four or five bedrooms that are situated down a separate hall; all have their own baths and most feature walk-in closets.
But the location of 1040 Fifth Avenue is one of its greatest selling points. Sitting on the northeast corner of 85th Street - one block north of the Metropolitan Museum - it is away from the tumult of tourists but still comfortingly close. This is one of the reasons that Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis moved here in 1964 and lived in a full-floor apartment on the 15th floor until her death in 1994. The site also gives residents stunning views west across the Reservoir, now named after her, and into the 3,400-year-old Temple of Dendur on the north side of the museum, which she helped bring to the Met.

Notable past and present residents at 1040 Fifth Avenue
Tough Board but I have connections there. My team has sold there and was approved.
Near the subway. Considered the Gold Coast of Manhattan. Greenwich Village, East Village and West Village are highly desirable with the best restaurants, bars, shopping and high-ranking schools.
My friend has been there to visit when Jackie was alive and when John was dating Daryl Hannah !!
