1010 Fifth Avenue   Unit 12D

Extraordinarily gracious and elegant seven room apartment on Fifth Avenue, across from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park. Apartment 12D faces south with expansive views of midtown Manhattan and side views of the museum. From a semi-private landing, a graceful, oval foyer features millwork pilasters, which cleverly conceal deep closets. The foyer leads to a perfectly proportioned living room with a beautiful wood-burning fireplace and south facing windows overlooking townhouses of the historic district. Off the foyer is a formal dining room with built in bookshelves and a hallway to the kitchen area. There are two adjoining maids' rooms, a third full bath and a windowed kitchen. The two master bedrooms face south and have lovely open views. These rooms are separated from the living area by a mahogany door which leads to a private bedroom foyer. The apartment has central air-conditioning, a washer and dryer, and comes with a separate storage facility and a laundry room shared by only three other residences.

The building has a state of the art gym and full-time staff. 1010 Fifth Avenue is a fifteen story, limestone full-service cooperative built in 1925 in the neo-Italian Renaissance style by developer Frederick F. French. The building is located in the Metropolitan Museum Historic District. Pets and pied-a-terres are allowed. The building has a flip tax of 2%.
