781 Fifth Avenue #801 in Lenox Hill

Sweeping views of Central Park and the city are only one item on a long list of wonderful things about this apartment. Meticulously renovated and restored this five room, two bedroom beauty is remarkable. The entrance gallery with it's original 1927 black and white marble floor has felt many an elegant foot step. The west facing living room, aside from it's commanding view of Central Park through oversized windows is grand and gracious with original crown dental moldings, superlative millwork, herringbone floors and a decorative fireplace. The library or second bedroom also enjoys the Central Park and Fifth Avenue bustle but through fine double paned windows the sounds of the city are reduced to a whisper. The room has a full bath, dressing area and ample closets. The master bedroom is pin-drop quiet with many closets, windowed dressing area and full bath en suite. The kitchen is a small marvel. All stainless steel it contains a convection/microwave oven, a two-burner Miehle stove, Miehle dishwasher and Sub-Zero refrigerator. The maid's room with full bath is being used as a laundry room/pantry. The Sherry-Netherland is one of the city's many fabled buildings with incomparable service and luxury.
