1165 5Th Ave

Completed in 1926, this 16-story prewar cooperative rises on Fifth Avenue in Carnegie Hill and contains large multi-bedroom residences configured for formal entertaining and family living. The building was designed by J.E.R. Carpenter and retains signature prewar details such as high beamed ceilings, original herringbone wood floors, wood-burning fireplaces, grand formal dining rooms, and large multi-pane windows.

Residences enter from semi-private elevator landings and commonly include entrance foyers, formal dining rooms, separate eat-in-kitchens or butler’s pantries, dens or libraries, generous walk-in closets and abundant built-in storage. Many apartments feature private outdoor space, expansive park and reservoir views, and a mix of modern comforts such as central air conditioning allowance, washer/dryer facilities, and upgraded electrical and windows. The cooperative provides building-wide amenities including a 24-hour attended lobby/doorman, a live-in superintendent, gym/health club, bicycle room, central laundry and assigned private storage for apartments.

Located between 97th and 98th Streets directly across from the East Meadow entrance to Central Park, the address offers immediate access to parkland, nearby subway service and neighborhood schools and restaurants. Pets are permitted and the co-op allows up to 50% financing; a modest flip tax and periodic assessments have been part of recent building updates.
