Filed under: Estates

A classic Upper East Side Fifth Avenue apartment has hit the market. The New York Observer reports that Broadway producer and director Hal Prince and his wife Judy have put their apartment at 834 Fifth Avenue up for sale. This is one prime unit. The 11-room apartment has Central Park views and a large, plant-filled terrace from which you can watch the Central Park Zoo polar bears. This duplex has a large living room with an adjoining solarium/library and terrace. A formal dining room has been converted to a library with floor-to-ceiling bookcases. A staircase leads to a corner master suite on the second level as well as two other bedrooms and staff quarters. The apartment comes with two separate storage rooms and a private laundry room. Rupert Murdoch also owns a triplex in this building. The apartment is priced at $33 million. The current decor in some rooms might be a bit colorful for some people's taste but for lovers of books and graceful living this looks like paradise in the sky.
