1212 5Th Ave

Located on Manhattan's Museum Mile, this restored prewar condominium rises 15 stories and dates to 1925, the work of Edward and George Blum. The conversion preserved classic Beaux-Arts and Art Deco details—plaster coffered ceilings, moldings and solid oak floors—while integrating modern systems during a comprehensive 2011 renovation that achieved LEED Gold certification. Residences range from one- to five-bedroom layouts (including duplex and penthouse combinations) and emphasize generous proportions: high ceilings, open floor plans, sizable formal dining rooms, and private elevator landings on select homes. Interiors commonly include custom millwork, stone counters, walk-in closets, soaking tubs, built-in features and chef-grade kitchens outfitted with Miele, Bertazzoni/Viking appliances and Italian cabinetry. Shared amenities reflect full-service city living: a 24/7 concierge/doorman, a large fitness center with dedicated studios, residents’ lounge, children’s playroom, bike room, laundry facilities and temperature-controlled storage. The building is pet-friendly, offers parking options and maintains a live-in resident manager. Its Fifth Avenue address affords direct Central Park frontage and immediate access to the Guggenheim, Metropolitan Museum, Conservatory Garden, cultural institutions, transit and neighborhood dining and schools, delivering a refined, park-facing Manhattan lifestyle.
