1485 5th AVE #26D

Searching for a large luxury apartment with nearly 3,000 square feet, private outdoor space and unobstructed views of Central Park, the Manhattan skyline, sunrises and sunsets? You may want to expand your search.

Perched on the 26th floor of Fifth on the Park, Residence 26D offers approximately 2,890 square feet, a 245-square-foot private balcony, floor-to-ceiling windows and unobstructed 270-degree views across east, west and south exposures. The 26th floor also offers unusual privacy, with only two households regularly using the hallway.

The current owners selected 26D for its proportions, open layout and dramatic outlook, then undertook an extensive gut renovation. The result is a highly customized home with sophisticated finishes, integrated technology and thoughtful architectural details.

Expansive living and dining areas flow east to west and open directly onto the balcony. Custom planters offer the opportunity for an elevated garden. Original concrete columns were uncovered and polished, while a custom window seat with built-in storage occupies the southwest corner.

At the heart of the home is a chef-quality kitchen centered around an approximately 18-foot island incorporating a wine refrigerator and two dishwashers. Custom cabinetry, Sub-Zero refrigeration, a GE Monogram gas double oven and grill, and a walk-in pantry with a large EuroCave wine refrigerator complete the space.

The flexible layout currently provides three bedrooms, with the original fourth incorporated into the primary suite as an expansive walk-in dressing room and separate windowed home office. It can be converted back to a fourth bedroom. The primary suite also features additional storage and a renovated bathroom with a large walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms offer excellent natural light and ample closets, with a second full bathroom with tub nearby. A separate powder room provides additional convenience.

White oak hardwood floors finished in a pale grey stain extend throughout, while custom washi paper panels created by a Japanese artist enhance selected doors. Lutron solar shades and lighting are installed throughout, with blackout shades in the bedrooms. Five HVAC wall units are individually programmed through Savant, which also controls lighting, shades and fans. Concealed wiring supports integrated audio, and select Linn speakers and NAD M10 integrated amplifiers may be included with an acceptable sale. An in-unit washer and dryer adds everyday convenience.

Fifth on the Park is a full-service luxury condominium with a 24-hour attended lobby, doorman and concierge. A standout amenity is the 55-foot heated indoor lap pool and sundeck, offering year-round swimming without leaving the building. Additional amenities include a fitness center, playroom, residents' lounge with catering kitchen, landscaped terraces with grills, bicycle storage, live-in superintendent, on-site management and valet parking garage.

Current common charges are approximately $3,500 per month. Current real estate taxes are just $356.50 annually, or approximately $29.71 per month, benefiting from the building's long-term 421a tax abatement, reported through June 2034.
