Description

Harkening back to the fashionable era of Halston and pre-millennium Gucci, this stylish high-floor and extra-large one bedroom (flex two) sits within one of the best lines of the iconic Olympic Tower. Expansive city views over Midtown, Billionaire's Row, and Central Park South are captured through the apartments' floor-to-ceiling windows.

Upon entering the residence, you are greeted by a large foyer, from which you can access the perfectly appointed kitchen, in-unit laundry, or the main living/dining spaces and/or separate bedroom wing. Two full bathrooms, adorned with marble floors and counters provide flexibility for your guests and privacy for you.

Multiple closets, as well as two custom-designed built-in systems made of Italian mahogany offer substantial storage throughout the space.

Originally developed by Aristotle Onassis in 1976 and built by Skidmore, Owens & Merrill, The Olympic Tower Condominium has long been one of the premier white glove buildings in Manhattan. With 24-hour doormen, porters, and concierge services, as well as a residents' gym and bike storage, service, security, and privacy are top priorities here. Ideally located on Fifth Avenue and 51st Street, owners have access to some of the greatest shopping, cultural sites, and restaurants/caf s the city has to offer.

There is a 1% flip tax here.
