2036 Fifth Avenue

A meticulous restoration led by award-winning architect, Jeffery Povero of Povero&Company, results in this immaculate 20' wide, 5-bedroom, 6-bathroom single-family townhouse, featuring approximately 8,000-square-feet of light-flooded interiors with gorgeously restored woodwork and custom details. Upon entering the home's parlor floor you are greeted with soaring 12' ceilings, original dark-wood wainscoting and a gracious central hallway that leads you to the back parlor lounge outfitted with one of three gas fireplaces throughout the home. The centerpiece of this room is a vintage bar that was sourced from an old hotel and restored with new appliances, plumbing and electrical including two running, built-in taps. A fully stocked butler's pantry allows for the convenience of easy entertaining.

Original double doors lead you to one of the home's four outdoor spaces - a stunning 500 sqft terraced garden. The elegantly restored wood staircase leads you up to a sun-drenched, loft-like living and dining area overlooking 5th Avenue. The adjacent pro-grade kitchen, which can be closed off by two custom pocket doors for entertaining, is every chef's dream!

It includes custom cabinetry, a massive island countertop with a farmhouse sink, two side-by-side 6-burner Wolf ranges, a Sub Zero refrigerator/freezer, separate beverage refrigerator, wine refrigerator and an oversized pantry. Two floor-to-ceiling glass doors open to an intimate outdoor deck with a built-in grill for al fresco dining. The third floor features the Primary bedroom suite which hosts a gas fireplace, custom walk-in-closet and a stunning five fixture bathroom outfitted with Nero Marquina marble, a double vanity and separate water closet.

Right outside the door is a private, outdoor Jacuzzi which provides a quiet respite in the city. After a soak, step into the cozy library/den for a quiet read or movie night. The top floor features three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as a large laundry room and a magical, 'hidden' office.

Atop this five story home is a magnificent fully furnished roof deck with a built-in gas grill, a dining table for 8 under a wood pergola and an irrigation system to maintain the lush garden and landscaping. The garden level of the home is currently used as a production office and includes a ten seat home theater. The basement has a rec room, wine cellar, workshop/gym and plenty of storage.
