785 5th Ave Unit 12AB, New York, NY 10022

Forget the dizzy towers of “Billionaire’s Row”; the unique vantage of this grand Fifth Avenue home offers the perfect perspective on Central Park. The entire length of the apartment offers an iconic panorama of the Park, including The Pond, Hallett Nature Sanctuary, and Wollman Skating Rink in the foreground, framed by the Plaza Hotel, the Metropolitan Club, and the stunning skyline of Central Park West. And the 12th floor is the ideal altitude: higher than the tallest trees in Central Park, but not so vertiginous that the details are lost. In Summer, cherish the endless green oasis. In Fall, watch the leaves turn dazzling vermillion. In Winter, see the sun set over the ice skaters, when the Park is blanketed in snow. In Spring, behold the Park in glorious bloom. The centerpiece of this apartment is the palatial living room, with its 30-foot expanse of Central Park views. But that is just the beginning. The elegant library, the stylish office, the two northern bedrooms, and the enormous guest suite also face directly onto the Park. And the master suite is the most breathtaking of all, at the corner of the building, with luxuriant vistas both north and west. In short, the twenty-one windows of this magnificent home offer perhaps the best views in New York City. It simply must be seen to be believed. The Parc V is an elegant, full-service, white-glove building where residents enjoy the highest level of service, security, and discretion. And the location is literally at the epicenter of it all: surrounded by luxury boutiques (including Bergdorf Goodman, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Zegna, and Harry Winston); top restaurants (including Avra, Le Bilboquet, and Cipriani); and iconic hotels/bars (including the Sherry Netherland, the Pierre, and, of course, the Plaza).
