In the easily recognizable pre-war building at 825 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, an art collector’s unit has recently landed on the market — and it comes with some serious ‘Mad Men’ vibes.
The stylish residence was designed by the acclaimed New York-based design practice Pembrooke & Ives, known for creating “bespoke, human-centered interiors” meant to “beautifully improve the experiences of the people who inhabit them.”
Using materials sourced from around the globe, the design team created a timeless yet sophisticated look inspired by 1960s New York, one which also gave the abode its moniker, “Muse on the Fifth”.
The trophy 825 Fifth Avenue residence is listed for $5,795,000 with Michelle Griffith of Douglas Elliman and Senada Adžem of Douglas Elliman as a marketing ambassador for the famed unit.

A prime Fifth Avenue location
Located on a prestigious stretch of Fifth Avenue between East 63rd and 64th Streets, the pre-war building at 825 Fifth Avenue is one of the stately residential buildings designed by J. E. R. Carpenter — the leading architect of luxury residential high-rise buildings in New York City in the early 1900s.
Interiors like a 1960s time capsule
Designed for comfort and style, the residence pays homage to the building’s storied history and has been appropriately furnished and styled to enhance its timeless design.
Now featuring American Black Walnut veneer millwork, Walnut sliding doors, and an oval-shaped dining room with a 1960s-inspired wet bar, its style is reminiscent of the “Mad Men” aesthetics, accurately mimicking the stylish period design that is portrayed in each episode of the fan-favorite AMC series.
A double living room with Central Park views
Pop culture references aside, Residence 12C at 825 Fifth Avenue has a total of 5 rooms, with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a massive double living room that opens up to coveted Central Park views.
This rarely lived-in apartment was initially conceived as a two-bedroom with easy conversion options.
Windows frame generous Midtown views, with a black fireplace acting as a centerpiece
The expansive, double-wide living room is adorned with a Chesneys fireplace mantle and several seating areas taking in the sweeping views that span Central Park, Central Park West, and Midtown.
A grand foyer with American Black Walnut veneer millwork masks the kitchen and coat closet
The 825 Fifth Avenue condo sets the stage for sophisticated living from the entry, where a grand foyer draped in American Black Walnut veneer millwork conceals a fully equipped kitchen and a convenient coat closet.
The sophisticated, oval-shaped dining area
The dining area, artfully oval in shape and equipped with a wet bar and television, flows into the expansive, double-wide living room.
Walnut sliding doors conceal the appliances and utilities
Appliances, utilities, and storage are conveniently masked behind Walnut sliding doors, which also provide access to the laundry area, guest closet, and guest bath.
The bright primary bedroom has generous views
The primary bedroom, offering tranquil views of the Upper East Side’s historic architecture, provides ample storage and closet space.
And an en-suite, crisp white bathroom
Its en-suite bathroom is elegantly finished with honed Thassos marble, polished white onyx, and glassos (a crystallized glass that looks like white Thassos marble but is said to be even more durable).
