1170 5Th Ave

1170 Fifth Avenue is a sixteen-story, 1926 prewar cooperative designed in the refined J.E.R. Carpenter tradition, with only sixteen full‑floor three‑bedroom homes in the vertical composition. The façade and lobby convey classic Fifth Avenue formality; many residences open from semi‑private elevator landings. Interiors commonly feature tall ceilings, wide entry galleries, formal dining rooms, wood‑burning fireplaces, original oak or herringbone floors, extensive built‑in millwork and generous closet storage including walk‑in closets. Typical apartment plans include an eat‑in kitchen with large pantry, a separate staff/maid room with bath, multiple windowed bathrooms and a den/library that can serve as a fourth bedroom. Exterior attributes emphasize views and outdoor space — large windows frame Central Park and Reservoir vistas and several units include private terraces or balconies and access to an inner planted courtyard. The co‑op operates as a full‑service, white‑glove building with 24/7 doormen, a live‑in resident manager, attentive staff, a private fitness room, bicycle storage, central laundry facilities and basement private storage that transfers with apartments. Pets and pied‑à‑terres are permitted; the house allows up to 50% financing and charges a modest transfer fee. Located on Museum Mile in Carnegie Hill, the building places residents immediately adjacent to Central Park, nearby cultural institutions, top public and private schools, and Madison Avenue shopping.
