Nestled in the heart of Carnegie Hill along Fifth Avenue's historically significant Gold Coast, this impeccably renovated two-bedroom residence represents the epitome of prewar elegance and sophistication. The current owners completed the top-to-bottom renovation in 2016 and have not occupied the apartment since. The charming arched doorway up a short flight of stairs from the building's lobby lends the aura of entering a stately private home. A gracious entry foyer leads to the second bedroom/office on the right. Straight ahead a mirror image second archway opens onto a grand living room and dining area, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. To the west of the living room lie the primary bedroom and bathroom. The bathroom features a mosaic tiled floor, as well as new fixtures and sparkling hardware. The kitchen, accessed from the far end of the living room, offers classic maple wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances including a Miele dishwasher, and a Miele washer/dryer. Both bedrooms and the kitchen enjoy abundant southern sunlight, overlooking serene, tree-lined 95th Street. Outside the kitchen service entrance you will find a rare, oversized private storage room that travels with the apartment in addition to a dedicated building storage unit in the building's basement. Refinished hardwood oak floors and crown moldings add timeless elegance and are complemented by central air-conditioning and ample closet space. 1140 Fifth Avenue is a limestone and brick Neo-Renaissance building designed in 1921 by Fred F.
