$2.9M one-bedroom with a terrace is a slice of Paris just off Central Park

5 East 75th Street is a turn-of-the-century Beaux-Arts mansion just three doors down from Central Park. Now an eight-unit co-op, it exudes that rare, old-world Upper East Side grandeur. But this one-bedroom unit that’s on the market for $2,985,000 feels more like a Parisian atelier, complete with 13-foot ceilings, original moldings, oversized windows, two wood-burning fireplaces, and detailed hardwood floors. Best of all, there’s a nearly 500-square-foot private terrace.

A small entryway opens to the large living/dining room, which feels serene and extra bright. The fireplace mantle and French doors leading to the terrace add a romantic feel.

The terrace is large enough to be set up as a garden, outdoor entertainment area, or both. A small breakfast bar has been set up outside the kitchen window for convenience.

The kitchen may be small, but it has full-size appliances, including a hidden dishwasher, and loads of character.

The bedroom has a second wood-burning fireplace, patterned hardwood floors, gorgeous dentil moldings, and wooden window shutters. The unique dressing area is full of stunning millwork and leads to the beautifully renovated bathroom, which has a vintage-style clawfoot tub. There’s also a washer/dryer tucked in the bathroom.

The building allows pied-a-terres, as well as pets on a case-by-case basis.
