1158 5Th Ave

A landmarked prewar cooperative on Fifth Avenue completed in 1924, this 15-story, 19-unit building presents French Renaissance architecture executed in limestone, tan brick and wrought-iron detailing. Designed by C. Howard Crane and Kenneth Franzheim, its three-story limestone base and vaulted, ornamented lobby recall early 20th-century Manhattan grand residences. Residences are large multi-room layouts — primarily three- to five-bedroom classic units and duplex penthouses — featuring high beamed ceilings, wide-plank oak or rich hardwood floors, wood-burning fireplaces, formal dining rooms, butler’s pantries and expansive entrance galleries. Several homes include conservatories, solaria, private terraces and planted roof or terrace gardens, plus dedicated staff/maid rooms and sizable service wings. Building services are white-glove: 24-hour doormen, concierge, live-in resident manager and semi-private elevator landings for select apartments. Amenities include a fitness center, private storage bins, bicycle room and central laundry; laundry rooms and additional storage space are provided at the building level. Pets are allowed and the co-op permits up to 40% financing; a modest flip tax applies. Located in Carnegie Hill on Museum Mile directly across from Central Park and near major cultural institutions, the building offers immediate access to parkland, schools, museums, and upscale neighborhood shopping and dining.
