This 4,092-square-foot duplex co-op at 1136 Fifth Avenue on the Upper East Side offers the iconic grandeur of a bygone gilded age; it’s no surprise that it was most recently the home of an Italian princess and Russian prince. Filled with pre-war details, dazzling views, and mansion-like square footage, the apartment, asking $5,800,000, was chosen by the building’s architect, George F. Pelham, as his personal residence. The apartment offers four bedrooms, high ceilings, and views of the Central Park reservoir.

Past a double-height marble-tiled entry foyer that unfolds beneath 25-foot ceilings, a marble staircase rises to a dramatic mezzanine. A convenient powder room is tucked away off the foyer.

A vast corner living room with park views is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. A formal dining room is served by a large kitchen through a hidden door. In the style of classic pre-war homes, a cozy home office occupies former servants’ quarters.

Upstairs on the mezzanine level, bordered by a graceful interior balcony, you’ll find four bedrooms, three full baths, and capacious walk-in closets. One of two main bedrooms occupies a corner spot with views across the park towards the George Washington Bridge.

The elegant pre-war residence has only two or three units on each of its 14 floors. Amenities include a live-in resident manager, a manually-operated elevator, and a laundry room. The pet-friendly building also offers private storage.
