Designed and built in 1928 by famed developer Frederick Fillmore French, 1010 Fifth Avenue is one of the premier Fifth Avenue cooperatives perfectly situated at the corner of a historic tree lined block on 82nd Street and directly across from The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Spanning over 44 feet of frontage on Fifth Avenue and with views of the iconic Museum of Art; this elegant home was once part of a 9 room residence and thus boasts grand rooms perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Off of the gracious elevator landing, one enters through a stunning foyer with beautiful marble floors and venetian plaster walls. The grand-scaled 28 foot living room has wonderful herringbone floors, a gorgeous fireplace with stone carved mantel, and beautiful beamed ceilings and moldings. The adjoining formal dining room boasts elegant moldings and details and provides an ideal flow for entertaining. The northern wing of this home includes a sumptuous master bedroom with a marble en-suite bathroom and 3 oversized walk in closets. There are 2 additional bedrooms (with the possibility to reconfigure for a third bedroom) and 3 baths. The very stylish and sleek kitchen has been recently renovated and includes top of the line contemporary cabinetry, Miele cook-top, Miele oven and Bosch dishwasher. There is also tons of built-ins and storage throughout the residence. Central air conditioning completes this one-of-a-kind traditional yet modern day functioning Fifth Avenue home. Pets are warmly welcomed at 1010 Fifth Avenue and residents have the use of an in-house state of the art gym. Two storage units, one includes its own laundry room, are also included with this purchase. This co-op allows 40% financing and has a flip tax of 2% payable by the buyer. Pied-a-terre is on a case by case basis.
