Options are many in this 3,225-square-foot condo on Manhattan’s Museum Mile between East Harlem and Carnegie Hill; the combination of two apartments resulted in a collection of rooms that work as bedrooms (as many as six), playrooms or entertaining spaces, depending on your needs. What you can’t change: a coveted spot on Central Park and amazing panoramic views of the park and Conservatory Gardens. Asking $6,750,000, this sun-filled home can be found in the Emery Roth-designed 1920s building at 1200 Fifth Avenue known as The Park View. Not ready for a commitment? You can rent the pretty pre-war home for $25,000/month.

The classic Art Deco apartment has retained original details like herringbone floors, high beamed ceilings, and elegant French doors. You’ll find through-wall AC in each room.

An elevator opens directly into an elegant foyer and a long gallery. A large living room and formal dining room overlook Central Park through oversized picture windows. An adjacent library provides a quieter entertaining space and could be used as a bedroom.

A sleek and well-appointed galley kitchen features appliances by Wolf, Miele, and Subzero and a wine refrigerator. Marble countertops complement custom millwork. An adjacent breakfast nook accesses a small staff room with a full bath, laundry facilities, and an adjacent pantry overlooking the park.

The graciously-sized park-facing primary bedroom offers a huge walk-in closet. All rooms feature an en-suite marble bath, making them ready to become bedrooms if needed.

There are four additional bedrooms, including two former bedrooms that have been combined into a sprawling den. The two rooms can easily be bedrooms again or kept as-is for a spacious playroom, media room, atelier, or office. See the photo gallery below for alternate and current floor plans.

This unusually flexible apartment comes with two basement storage bins. Amenities include a 24-hour doorman/concierge, a live-in building manager, a fitness room, and a bike room, and the pet-friendly condo allows 90 percent financing.

East Harlem: From Manhattan’s First Little Italy to El Barrio to a Neighborhood on the Cusp of Gentrification

By Dana Schulz

A lot of attention is paid to West Harlem, or what many people traditionally consider THE Harlem, thanks to its rich history rooted in places like the Apollo and up-and-coming hot spots like the Studio Museum in Harlem and Marcus Samuelson's renowned restaurant, the Red Rooster. But east of Fifth Avenue, there's a history just as deep, and the neighborhood is at that fragile stage where it could easily be thrust into a wave of gentrification at any time. Defined as the area bound by Fifth Avenue and First Avenue from 96th to 125th Streets, East Harlem is commonly known as Spanish Harlem, or El Barrio by locals. What many people unfamiliar with the neighborhood don't know, though, is that this area got its start as Manhattan's first Little Italy. And if you're the type of New Yorker who doesn't venture above 86th Street, you're likely unaware of the slew of new developments sprouting up in East Harlem thanks to a 2003 57-block rezoning.

$50M penthouse is the last residence available at the Upper East Side’s famed Surrey Hotel

By Aaron Ginsburg

Manhattan's famed Surrey Hotel is making a comeback. Following bankruptcy proceedings, new owners, and a renovation, the 100-year-old Art Deco landmark at 20 East 76th Street on the Upper East Side reopened last month as a condo hotel, with 100 hotel rooms and 14 condos, part of the Surrey Residences. Now, after a whisper sales campaign, just one remaining apartment is about to hit the market: a three-bedroom duplex penthouse asking $50,000,000. The sprawling residence, the building's most expensive, offers 5,195 square feet plus 2,346 square feet across three terraces and a private rooftop.
