Perfectly situated on the 11th floor of one of Fifth Avenue's most distinguished white-glove co-operatives, 944 Fifth Avenue, this exceptional full-floor residence has been meticulously renovated to the highest standard and has sweeping panoramic views of Central Park and the iconic Manhattan skyline. Masterfully renovated by the acclaimed design firm Ries Hayes, this extraordinary 15 into 11 room home seamlessly blends timeless prewar grandeur with sophisticated contemporary design. Flooded with natural light from four exposures and thirty-two oversized windows, the residence features high ceilings, two wood-burning fireplaces, eight-zone central air conditioning, wide-plank white oak floors, Dornbracht fixtures, elegant custom moldings, oversized raised doorways, and the finest bespoke finishes throughout.

A private elevator foyer opens to a gracious entrance gallery. There are two coat closets and a beautifully finished powder room with Black Meteorite slab and a sink carved from Galaxy Schist. Beyond the foyer is a magnificent enfilade of entertaining rooms designed for both grand-scale entertaining and intimate living. Perfectly positioned to capture breathtaking Central Park views, the spectacular living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and framed by three oversized picture windows. Adjacent is an elegant library, also overlooking the Park, offering a warm and intimate retreat. The grand formal dining room provides an exceptional setting for elegant dinners and memorable entertaining. The beautifully designed chef's eat-in kitchen features custom cabinetry, Select Calacatta Gold marble countertops and backsplash, and a center island crafted from Taj Mahal quartzite. It is outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances by Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele, and includes a generous dining area for everyday living. A separate laundry room is conveniently located nearby and is equipped with a Miele washer and dryer, sink, and abundant storage. Completing the entertaining spaces is a sun-filled media room facing east with custom built-in bookcases, a projector, and a wet bar with a sink and Sub-Zero refrigerator and ice maker.

The private quarters are equally impressive. Occupying the southwest corner overlooking Central Park, the extraordinary primary bedroom suite was created by combining three original bedrooms into an expansive private retreat. It features the home's second wood-burning fireplace, and two oversized windowed dressing rooms/sitting rooms, both with walls of custom closets and built-ins, as well as a large, windowed closet. The luxurious primary bathroom is beautifully appointed with White Limestone walls and Galaxy Schist floors and pedestals; it has two sinks, an oversized glass-enclosed steam room/shower, a separate deep soaking bathtub, and a private water closet. There are two additional corner en-suite bedrooms, each with beautifully renovated windowed bathrooms. The layout can easily be restored to a four-bedroom configuration should a future owner desire.

Included in the sale is a renovated Maisonette guest apartment with its own private Fifth Avenue entrance as well as an entrance directly off the lobby. Ideal for extended family, guests, and staff, it offers two bedrooms, two renovated bathrooms, a gracious living room, a media room, a fully equipped kitchen, and a washer and dryer. The Maisonette has a monthly maintenance of $9,225.

Designed by architect Nathan Korn and completed in 1925, this elegant 14-story Italian Renaissance palazzo is clad in limestone and is among Fifth Avenue's most coveted cooperatives.
