There are few architectural firms in New York City that hold the level of esteem and recognition as Warren and Wetmore. Whitney Warren and Charles D. Wetmore were prominent New York City architects known for founding the influential firm that became synonymous with opulent Beaux-Arts design in the early 20th century. Their iconic projects include Grand Central Terminal, the New York Yacht Club, and the Biltmore Hotel, exemplifying their mastery of grand, elegant spaces that defined an era of architectural sophistication. Aside from their recognizable landmarks, they designed several residential buildings throughout the city. One of which is located at 1020 Fifth Avenue, with a home currently on the market that reflects their iconic portfolio.
1020 Fifth Avenue - Upper East Side
Apartment 12 at 1020 Fifth Avenue, represented by BHS Agent Mike Lubin, is a spacious full-floor home spanning 3,500 square feet, with breathtaking views in all directions, including Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum.
Completed in 1925, the Warren and Wetmore-designed residence features incredible attention to detail, from its wood paneled private library and wood burning fireplace to its breathtaking grand foyer.
Just off of the library, the large living room is flooded with natural light, with space to entertain guests or to simple unwind and relax within the comfort of the home.
From the sun-drenched kitchen, residents can enjoy additional northern city views and the highly coveted pantry space. One can imagine prepping a delicious meal within this generously-sized space, and enjoying it within the home's formal dining room.
The south, east, and north bedroom wing features a 31-foot-long double primary suite with a wood-burning fireplace, dressing room, and en-suite marble bath. Two additional bedrooms each have private baths, abundant natural light, and city views.
From its location within one of the most coveted neighborhoods in Manhattan to its impressive design, 1020 Fifth Avenue is the ideal home for any prospective buyer looking for the very best of what New York City has to offer.
