1170 5Th Ave

1170 Fifth Avenue is a distinguished 16-story prewar cooperative completed in 1926 and designed by noted architect J.E.R. Carpenter. The building presents classic carved stone facades and a formal attended lobby that opens to semi-private elevator landings. Residences are predominately three-bedroom layouts and classic multi-room plans with prewar proportions: high ceilings, herringbone or oak floors, crown moldings, built-ins, and generous closet and pantry storage. Many apartments include wood-burning fireplaces, formal dining rooms, windowed libraries or staff rooms, and washer/dryer hookups; several full-floor and penthouse units feature expansive terraces, multiple exposures, and direct Central Park and Reservoir vistas. Building amenities reflect full-service white-glove living: 24-hour doormen, live-in resident manager/superintendent, on-site fitness room, bicycle storage, central laundry and private storage bins that transfer with apartments. The property is pet-friendly, allows pied-à-terres, and permits up to 50% financing; it carries customary coop transfer/flip fees and occasional assessments. Located in Carnegie Hill on Museum Mile, it fronts Central Park with immediate access to museums, playgrounds, schools, restaurants, and public transit—an address that emphasizes refined, traditional Manhattan living with ample entertaining spaces and city-facing outdoor rooms.
