Description

Located directly across from Central Park and at the edge of Museum Mile, this wonderful Duplex apartment in a full-service Prewar Condo offers plenty of room and your very own balcony. Oversized 7’ windows and 12 1/2’ beamed ceilings create a bright, airy ambiance complemented by other great features like low monthly charges, a large windowed galley kitchen, hardwood floors and ample closet space. The generously-sized layout also offers a lofted bedroom that can accommodate a queen-size bed with extra space for storage or a home office.

The former home of famed photographer Annie Liebovitz, 1255 Fifth Avenue is a premier doorman building built in 1925. Amenities include a beautifully decorated rooftop deck, laundry on every floor, a 24-hour gym, concierge, live-in super and pet-friendly policy. The location is exceptional with Central Park’s Harlem Meer and Conservatory Gardens right outside your door and the 9 museums that make up Museum Mile (considered one of the densest displays of culture in the world) starting just 2 blocks away which includes the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Cooper Hewitt Museum of Design to name a few.

You can also enjoy great meals at nearby Rao’s, Lexington Social & Don Pedro’s and easily access both the east and west side of the city with the nearby 2, 3 & 6 subway lines as well as the 5th Avenue bus.
