Description

Welcome to Residence 8B at 1212 Fifth Avenue – a breathtaking triple-mint condominium where pre-war grandeur meets 21st-century luxury, with unobstructed Central Park views from every major room. Featured in House Beautiful as the building’s model apartment, this three-bedroom, three-bath home was finished with upgrades well beyond the already stunning sponsor specifications.

Living/Dining Room: Step through the gracious entry foyer – finished in Venetian plaster – into a showstopping great room framed by sweeping views of Central Park, the Vanderbilt Gate, and the Conservatory Gardens. Soaring 9-foot beamed ceilings, plaster crown moldings, solid oak floors, and oversized tilt-and-turn windows make this space perfect for grand entertaining or quiet evenings above the treetops.

Kitchen: The open chef’s kitchen features Caesarstone countertops, custom Italian cabinetry, and a powerhouse lineup of Bertazzoni, Viking, and Miele appliances. Dornbracht fixtures, a garbage disposer, and recessed LED lighting round out this sleek, functional space.

Primary Suite: A private sanctuary in its own south wing with direct park views and two custom walk-in closets. The extraordinary primary bath is clad in Bianco Dolomiti marble with radiant heated floors, a Kohler cast-iron Jacuzzi soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, and the legendary Kohler Numi toilet – recently serviced and unique to this model apartment. A custom Robern mirror cabinet with built-in television and music system adds another layer of luxury.

Second Bedroom / Home Office: A generous room with direct Central Park views, currently configured as a home office with a queen-size Resource Furniture Murphy bed for seamless guest conversion. A full hall bath with Robern illuminated mirror doubles as a powder room.

Third Bedroom / Flex Room: Park views, twin Milano wall beds by Resource Furniture, and a full en-suite bath with Robern lighted mirror make this room endlessly versatile – guest room, children’s room, or creative studio.

Laundry: A dedicated closet with Miele washer and dryer – no trips to the basement, ever.

Additional Features: Individually controlled thermostats in every room, zoned heating and AC, custom-milled HVAC enclosures, and solid oak flooring throughout.

The Building: Designed by George and Edward Blum in 1925 and gut-renovated by S. Russell Groves, 1212 Fifth is the first classic pre-war building in NYC to earn LEED Gold certification. Full-service white-glove living includes a 24-hour attended lobby, concierge, live-in resident manager, residents’ lounge, playroom, and 2, 600 sq. ft. fitness center. Pool, terrace, screening room, and parking available at adjacent 1214 Fifth Avenue. International buyers, pied-à-terres, and pets welcome – no board approval required.
