The longtime New York City home of Hollywood icons Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward is available for the first time in nearly a half-century. The late actor/director and Woodward purchased the sprawling co-op at 1120 Fifth Avenue in Carnegie Hill in the 1980s and made it their Manhattan pied-a-terre for decades to follow. With iconic Central Park views, multiple terraces, and covetable pre-war details, the elegant residence, asking $9,950,000, is a rare slice of Hollywood history as well as a gracious and iconic New York City home.
With the layout of a classic six, the spacious apartment, in a building designed by J.E.R. Carpenter in 1925, is wrapped by nearly 2,000 square feet of terrace space. A private elevator opens into a grand foyer followed by a sun-filled great room. This stunning living and entertaining space, updated for modern tastes, is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and a built-in bar. Dramatic Central Park vistas complement the room’s pre-war architecture; tall glass doors open onto a sprawling terrace.
The sizable eat-in kitchen with a windowed butlers’ pantry also accesses the terrace for dining out of doors (and plans exist for a new solarium in the space). A formal dining room, a staff room, and a laundry room offer options for entertaining and daily living.
With plenty of separation for quiet and privacy, The large primary suite has two oversized walk-in closets and a private wrap terrace with open city views from three exposures. Just off the foyer, a second bedroom can also be used as a central library.
If you need even more space, a park-facing two-bedroom apartment on the building’s ground floor is available separately. The pet-friendly full-service co-op offers a 24-hour doorman, a live-in resident manager, a fitness center, and a bike room.
