Ang Residence 5A ay isang handa nang tirhan na maluwang na prewar na tahanan na may dalawang silid-tulugan at dalawang banyo sa Alwyn Court, ang kinikilalang French Renaissance na gusali sa kanto ng Seventh Avenue at 58th Street, isang bloke lamang mula sa Central Park. Pinagsasama nito ang mga makabagong renovation na idinisenyo ng mga eksperto at ang tunay na detalyeng prewar sa buong tahanan.

Ang maringal na entrance foyer ay humahantong sa isang pormal na silid-kainan na angkop para sa parehong mga pribadong hapunan at pagtanggap ng mga bisita. May mga herringbone na sahig at masalimuot na crown molding ang silid, na nagpapatuloy hanggang sa 27-talampakang corner living room. Dito, limang malalaking bintana na nakaharap sa hilaga at silangan, mga kisameng mahigit 10 talampakan ang taas, at isang ornamental ceiling medallion ang nagbibigay-diin sa mayamang ukit na custom Italian fireplace sa silangang dingding. Ang mga bagong panel door na may brass hardware at ornamental radiator grille ay nagpapatuloy sa mahusay na pagkakagawa mula sa isang silid patungo sa iba.

Ang kusinang may mga bintana ay parehong praktikal at marikit. Ang custom cabinetry na may nakaangat na mga panel ay umaabot hanggang kisame, na may mga upper cabinet na salamin ang harapan at under-cabinet lighting, na itinatampok laban sa marble countertop at marble slab backsplash. Kumpleto ang espasyo sa mga GE appliance, kabilang ang gas range at dishwasher, pati na bridge faucet sa ibabaw ng undermount sink, at nag-aalok ng pambihirang dami ng imbakan.

Ang isang hiwalay na hallway ay lumilikha ng pribadong wing para sa pangunahing silid-tulugan at isang full bath na may bintana. Ang 17-talampakang pangunahing silid-tulugan ay may dalawang bintanang nakaharap sa hilaga, crown molding, sapat na espasyo para sa king-size na muwebles, at dalawang malalaking closet. Nananatili sa banyo ang klasikong prewar nitong katangian, na may black-and-white mosaic na sahig at puting tile na may itim na palamuti.

Ang ikalawang silid-tulugan, na mayroon ding dalawang bintanang nakaharap sa hilaga, ay may buong dingding ng mga paneled closet na mula sahig hanggang kisame. Ang katabing banyo ang pangunahing tampok ng tahanan: isang napakalaking clawfoot tub na may pinakintab na nickel na mga paa, console vanity na may marble na ibabaw at mga paa na pinakintab na nickel, puting tile na sahig na pahilis ang pagkakalatag, at accent wall na may antigong salamin.

Namumukod-tangi ang mga espasyo sa imbakan sa buong tahanan: anim na malalaking closet, maraming custom built-in, at isang pribadong storage unit sa gusali.

Sa labas mismo ng inyong pintuan, ilang bloke lamang ang pinakamaganda sa Manhattan. Isang bloke sa timog ang Carnegie Hall at isang bloke sa hilaga ang Central Park. Nasa kanto ang flagship store ng Nordstrom at Columbus Circle; dalawang bloke sa silangan ang Bergdorf Goodman at Fifth Avenue; at ilang minuto lamang ang Lincoln Center, tahanan ng Metropolitan Opera at New York City Ballet. Isang bloke ang layo ng hintuan ng mga tren N, Q, R, at W, at isang doorman na bukas 24 oras ang sasalubong sa inyo sa inyong tahanan.

**ANG PAMANA NG ALWYN COURT**

Nang buksan ang Alwyn Court noong 1909, iniaalok ito bilang “Mga Tahanan sa Lungsod para sa mga May Bahay sa Probinsya,” na may mga apartment na may 14 na silid, music room, at pribadong wine vault. Binalutan ng mga arkitektong sina Harde at Short ang buong facade ng French Renaissance terra cotta, hanggang sa mga nakoronahang salamander ni Haring Francis I. Kabilang sa mga unang residente nito si Frederick Steinway, pangulo ng Steinway & Sons—isang angkop na kapitbahay para sa Carnegie Hall. Itinalaga itong New York City Landmark noong 1966 at isinama sa National Register of Historic Places. Mula noon, maingat na itong napangalagaan, kabilang ang atrium na naliliwanagan ng skylight at may trompe l'oeil mural ni Richard Haas, pati ang restoration ng facade na pinarangalan ng New York Landmarks Conservancy. Mahigit isang siglo na ang lumipas, nananatili itong isang pambihirang tahanan sa lungsod na may natatanging karakter.

Residence 5A is a move-in ready prewar two-bedroom, two-bathroom home of grand scale in Alwyn Court, the landmarked French Renaissance icon at Seventh Avenue and 58th Street, one block from Central Park. Designer renovations sit alongside authentic prewar detail throughout.

A gracious entry foyer leads to a formal dining room for both intimate dinners and entertaining, with herringbone floors and intricate crown molding that continue into the 27-foot corner living room. Here, five oversized windows across north and east exposures, ceilings above 10 feet, and an ornamental ceiling medallion frame a richly carved custom Italian fireplace on the east wall. Brand-new paneled doors with brass hardware and ornamental radiator grilles carry the craftsmanship from room to room.The windowed kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful. Custom raised-panel cabinetry rises to the ceiling, with glass-front uppers and under-cabinet lighting set against marble countertops and a marble slab backsplash. GE appliances, including a gas range and dishwasher, and a bridge faucet over an undermount sink complete the space, with exceptional storage.

A separate hallway creates a private wing for the primary bedroom and a windowed full bath. The 17-foot primary bedroom has two north-facing windows, crown molding, room for king-size furnishings, and two large closets. The bath retains its classic prewar character, with a black-and-white mosaic floor and white tile trimmed in black.
The second bedroom, also with two north-facing windows, is lined with a full wall of floor-to-ceiling paneled closets. Its adjoining bath is the home's showpiece: an oversized clawfoot tub with polished nickel feet, a marble-topped console vanity on polished nickel legs, white tile floors laid on the diagonal, and an antiqued mirror accent wall.
Storage is a standout throughout: six oversized closets, extensive custom built-ins, and a private storage unit in the building.

Outside your door, the best of Manhattan is within a few blocks. Carnegie Hall is one block south and Central Park one block north. Nordstrom's flagship and Columbus Circle are around the corner, Bergdorf Goodman and Fifth Avenue are two blocks east, and Lincoln Center, home of the Metropolitan Opera and New York City Ballet, is just minutes away. The N, Q, R, and W trains stop one block away, and a 24-hour doorman greets you at home.

THE ALWYN COURT LEGACY

When Alwyn Court opened in 1909, it was offered as "City Homes for Those with Country Houses," with 14-room apartments, music rooms, and private wine vaults. Architects Harde & Short wrapped the entire facade in French Renaissance terra cotta, down to the crowned salamanders of King Francis I. Steinway & Sons president Frederick Steinway was among its first residents, a fitting neighbor for Carnegie Hall. Designated a New York City Landmark in 1966 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building has been carefully stewarded ever since, with a skylit atrium featuring a trompe l'oeil mural by Richard Haas and a facade restoration honored by the New York Landmarks Conservancy. More than a century on, it remains a city home of rare character.
