1148 5Th Ave

Constructed in 1923 and designed by J.E.R. Carpenter, this 13-story prewar cooperative on Fifth Avenue in Carnegie Hill presents classic Beaux-Arts proportions and meticulously detailed interiors. The building offers semi-private elevator landings and traditional double-height galleries that lead to generously scaled residences featuring high ceilings, original hardwood herringbone floors, wood-burning fireplaces, formal dining rooms, separate breakfast or pantry areas, staff rooms, and abundant closet storage. Individual apartments often include large galleries or foyers, multiple exposures with park and city views, and configuration flexibility for libraries, dens, or home offices. Common elements emphasize white-glove service: a full-time door staff, porter, live-in resident manager, and access-controlled elevators. Shared building amenities include a recently upgraded, well-equipped fitness room, bicycle storage, laundry facilities, and storage units for shareholders; central air conditioning is allowed in units. The property is pet friendly and permits typical cooperative financing terms. Located directly across from Central Park and moments from Madison Avenue retail, cultural institutions on Museum Mile, and public transit, the building supports a formal, urbane lifestyle centered on grand entertaining, expansive views, and a full-service residential experience.
