Property Description
A rare opportunity to own a masterfully renovated residence with commanding Central Park frontage at one of Fifth Avenue's most prestigious addresses.
This home offers over 2,300 square feet of beautifully proportioned interiors, combining grand entertaining spaces with an impeccable, design-driven renovation. With sweeping park views and luminous western light, this elegant two-bedroom home delivers both glamour and livability.
The residence was thoughtfully reimagined by renowned architecture and design studio Stonefox, building upon the refined modernism originally created by legendary designer Ward Bennett. The result is a sophisticated dialogue between classic prewar architecture and contemporary craftsmanship, executed with exceptional materials and state-of-the-art technology.
The expansive living room spans nearly 30 feet of Central Park frontage and features oversized picture windows that flood the space with natural light by day and dramatic sunset views by evening. A fireplace anchors the room, while dual seating areas and discreet recessed art lighting create an ideal environment for both intimate living and grand entertaining.
The inviting dining room is equally suited to formal dinners or relaxed gatherings. The stunning kitchen features Celador stone countertops, Imperial Vermont Danby marble backsplash, and top-of-the-line appliances, offering both beauty and performance for the serious cook.
The primary bedroom suite is a serene retreat, highlighted by custom cerused oak millwork in the dressing rooms and a spa-like en-suite bath clad in honed Olympia White Vermont Danby marble. A newly redesigned second bedroom with a full bath and leather-topped writing desk provides exceptional flexibility for guests or a refined home office.
Additional features include washer and dryer, Lutron lighting system, motorized window shades, and fully upgraded electrical and AV infrastructure throughout the apartment. A private storage room transfers with the residence.
Built in 1938, 955 Fifth Avenue is an intimate and distinguished Rosario Candela prewar cooperative offering full-service amenities, including twenty-four-hour doormen, resident building manager, landscaped roof terrace with panoramic city and park views, well-equipped fitness room, and bike storage. Pets are permitted, and financing of up to 50% is allowed. 3% flip tax plus a one time $5,000 capital contribution fee for the gym.
Ideally situated between East 76th and 77th Streets on Fifth Avenue, this prime Upper East Side location is moments from Central Park, Madison Avenue boutiques, and world-class cultural institutions including The Frick Collection and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, as well as some of Manhattan's finest dining.
This is a turnkey Fifth Avenue residence of uncommon quality—where timeless architecture, iconic views, and modern luxury converge.
