Offered for the first time in over forty years, this elegant maisonette at 1120 Fifth Avenue presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Hollywood and New York history. Once part of the cherished home of Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, this gracious two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath residence served as the family's private office and guest retreat, servicing their storybook penthouse upstairs. With tranquil, tree-lined views of Central Park, it embodies timeless sophistication and quiet elegance within one of Carnegie Hill's most distinguished cooperatives.

An oversized, welcoming foyer opens to a spacious living and dining area featuring prewar details and garden views through large windows. A windowed eat-in kitchen and half bath are conveniently located off the main living space, while the private bedroom wing offers two generously proportioned bedrooms and a full bath.

Designed by J.E.R. Carpenter in 1925, 1120 Fifth Avenue is a full-service cooperative offering 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, fitness center, and bike room. Ideally located in the heart of Carnegie Hill, moments from Central Park and Museum Mile, this maisonette embodies classic Fifth Avenue elegance and the enduring legacy of one of America's most beloved couples. Please note, there is a 2% flip tax (payable by buyer) and the building allows up to 50% financing.
