Description
The beloved private retreat of Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward is now available for the first time in more than forty years. This exceptional penthouse at highly sought after 1120 Fifth Avenue in Carnegie Hill offers a rare opportunity to create a truly bespoke residence in one of New York City's most coveted buildings. The one-of-a-kind residence features spectacular, sweeping views of Central Park and the Reservoir, multiple large terraces, beautiful wood floors, soaring ceilings and epitomizes the pinnacle of New York luxury and sophistication. Immediately after entering from the private elevator landing into the grand gallery, the penthouse's timeless allure is unmistakable. To the right, one is greeted by the expansive, sun-drenched living room complete with a wood-burning fireplace at one end and a quaint hidden bar at the other. Ideal for grand entertaining, intimate gatherings and quiet moments of reflection, the living room showcases panoramic vistas of Central Park through oversized windows and glass doors leading out to one of the home's over 2,000sf of terraces. The seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces highlights the beauty of the pre-war architecture as well as the incredible outdoor surroundings. Flanked by both the foyer and the living room, the stately dining room boasts eastern exposures with city views, beautifully detailed moldings and room for a dining table of grand proportion. Behind the dining room, a windowed butlers' pantry and a large eat in kitchen, both with park views, offer the space needed to design your dream kitchen. Another park facing terrace off the kitchen is currently configured for al fresco dining but plans exist for a new owner to recreate a solarium for enjoyment year-round. A staff room/laundry room, half bath and an abundance of storage space complete this wing of the home. To the left of the foyer, the penthouse boasts the over-sized primary suite and a secondary bedroom (or study) along with a full bath. The spacious primary suite is a sanctuary of privacy and tranquility with its own wrap around terrace featuring miles of open city views from three exposures, providing a serene escape in the heart of the city. Ample closet space and a primary bath complete the suite. The light filled second bedroom boasts southern exposures and an adjoining full bathroom. For those requiring additional space, a park facing, two-bedroom apartment on the ground floor of the building can be offered separately. Designed by J.E.R. Carpenter in 1925, 1120 Fifth Avenue is a full-service cooperative offering a 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, fitness center and bike room. This pet friendly building allows 50% financing. Located in prime Carnegie Hill and close to Central Park, Museum Mile as well as plenty of restaurants and shopping, the opportunity to reside in this one-of-a-kind penthouse atop one of New York's most distinguished, pre-war cooperatives is not to be missed!
