50 FEET OF FRONTAGE on Fifth Avenue with six large windows facing Central Park!

Available for the first time in decades, Apartment 8A at 1158 Fifth Avenue is a rare and exceptionally gracious Carnegie Hill residence, distinguished by its remarkable proportions, original prewar character, and sweeping views toward Central Park and the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir.

An elegant entry foyer opens into a 20-foot gallery that leads to an impressive living room centered around a wood-burning fireplace. Oversized picture windows fill the room with natural light and frame beautiful views of the Park and Reservoir, creating an ever-changing backdrop throughout the day and across the seasons. Rich moldings, beautiful floors, and refined architectural details throughout the home speak to the elegance and craftsmanship of its era. The apartment enjoys Park views from the living room and all three bedrooms. One bedroom is currently configured as an inviting den and library, while the corner primary suite offers exceptional privacy, generous closets, a full en-suite bath, and coveted south- and west-facing exposures overlooking the Park. Designed with equal consideration for gracious entertaining and comfortable everyday living, the home features a large formal dining room opening to a butler’s pantry, as well as a windowed eat-in kitchen with a breakfast bar and abundant storage. A discreet home office or staff room with a full bath, together with an in-unit washer and dryer, completes the service wing.

The setting is extraordinary. Directly across Fifth Avenue from Central Park, the residence offers effortless access to the Park’s paths, gardens, reservoir, and recreational spaces. The nearby 96th and 97th Street entrances to the park make daily walks particularly convenient and are a special amenity for dog owners. Some of New York’s most celebrated cultural institutions-including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, and other Museum Mile destinations-are just minutes away, while the surrounding neighborhood offers exceptional dining, shopping, and the rare sense of tranquility that defines this stretch of Carnegie Hill.
