Description

A once in a lifetime opportunity to live in the largest existing original apartment on Fifth Avenue. Situated on the 7th and 8th floors, this magnificent front corner duplex boasts 20 rooms of unparalleled grandeur and scale. Resplendent with outstanding Central Park views, this sprawling residence features a graceful layout with beautiful hardwood flooring, soaring ceilings and classic original moldings.

The first level of this home features a palatial entrance gallery which leads into the Central Park facing lower library and dining room.

A grand staircase leads to the upper level living room which includes two fireplaces. Beyond is a gorgeous Library lined with magnificent 17th Century leather walls. The owner's private quarters includes a master bedroom with an accompanying sitting room and fireplace, an original 1930's marbled and mirrored full bathroom and a dressing room with an additional adjacent full bath.

Designed by renowned Manhattan architect Rosario Candela, 834 Fifth Avenue was built in 1931 and is considered to be one of his finest works. The 14-story limestone clad building consists of just 24 apartments. This legendary cooperative offers residents the highest level of service and privacy.

This spectacular residence ranks as one of Rosario Candela's true architectural masterpieces.
