About This Home
As of March 2024This Fifth Avenue luxury apartment once owned by famous German-American composer, pianist and conductor Lukas Foss has been reimagined under the stewardship of its current owners by one of AD’s top 100 architects and is the embodiment of Carnegie Hill living at its best. It is a serene oasis with tree top views of Central Park and is in proximity to the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir providing
a nearby outdoor retreat in the city.
This one-of-a-kind 4th floor classic six pre-war apartment was converted from three bedrooms to a spacious two bedroom with library; it was completely renovated to include new triple-paned windows, zoned central air, humidifiers, electrical wiring from the meter, custom lighting and fixtures, new risers, new plumbing, all new bathrooms, a new kitchen, new herringbone hand-cut oak wood floors, crown moldings, beamed ceilings, raised paneling and custom-made solid mahogany doors.
As you enter the apartment from a semi-private landing, you are welcomed inside, via a large foyer with open views to the dining and living room areas. The formal living room features a bolection marble mantle from Chesneys London surrounding a wood burning fireplace, 19th century gilt bronze sconces and full, room-width windows overlooking the park. For quiet relaxation and reading enjoy the warmth and coziness of the library (bedroom two) with cerused oak paneling, built-in bookcases and an ensuite bathroom. The park view primary suite features upholstered walls, a custom closet, wool carpeting design by Doris Leslie Blau, a marble ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower, soaking tub and heated flooring. The third bedroom features hand-painted wallpaper by DeGournay, wool carpeting, a built-in bookcase/storage unit, large closet and semi-private ensuite guest bathroom. Enjoy preparing meals in the beautifully appointed galley kitchen clad in hand built custom cabinetry, marble counter tops,
a Gaggenau gas cook top, electric oven, Miele dishwasher and Subzero refrigeration. In addition, the apartment has an in-unit washer/dryer and private storage is included.
Designed and built by architect developer Frederick Fillmore French in a restrained Renaissance style; the building was built in 1922 and converted to a cooperative in 1971. 1140 Fifth Avenue is
well-known for its attentive staff and the excellent level of white glove service provided by doormen, the resident super and porters. This well-run cooperative allows 60% financing and has a 2% flip tax payable by the buyer.
