This impeccably renovated Fifth Avenue residence is the epitome of modern sophistication. The high floor 4,357 square foot home at 995 Fifth Avenue masterfully blends the classic elegance of Rosario Candela's pre-war design with the refined sensibility of contemporary living. Originally the iconic Stanhope Hotel, the building was transformed into one of Manhattan's most coveted addresses, offering a perfect blend of grandeur and modern comfort. A semi-private elevator landing opens into a beautifully appointed entrance gallery, framed by handsome double doors. The expansive living room overlooks Fifth Avenue with views of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park. It flows seamlessly to the adjacent formal dining room, perfect for hosting both large dinner parties and intimate gatherings with views of the park. The spacious windowed eat-in-kitchen is a culinary dream, adorned with marble countertops, Subzero refrigerator, Wolf six-burner range, Miele convection oven and microwave, two dishwashers, ample custom cabinetry, a corner banquette by the window, and an oversized marble island with a Subzero wine refrigerator and two refrigerator drawers.
A separate corridor leads to the gracious guest bedroom with a renovated marble ensuite bath, and to the second and third bedrooms. The second and third bathrooms have been combined to create an enlarged luxurious marble bath with two sinks, shower and soaking tub. At the far end of a gallery hallway, the serene corner primary suite offers ultimate privacy, three exposures and open city views. The suite includes two walk-in closets, an additional wall of closets and a bespoke dressing room, formerly the apartment's fifth bedroom, featuring custom built-in millwork and a desk, ideal for a home office. The renovated windowed marble primary bath is a spa-like haven, featuring double vanity, glass-enclosed shower, and separate soaking tub.
