For over 30 years, the late Barbara Walters made her home at 944 Fifth Avenue overlooking Central Park, from 1989 until her death. This is where she strategically hosted potential interviewees to gain their trust, like Monica Lewinsky, she revealed in a 2008 memoir.

"It also comes with the provenance of a beloved and revered owner who loved the apartment and frequently made history there," the Compass agent wrote in the listing.

The red dressing room with a mirror lined with lights above the vanity, comfortable retro furnishings, and wall-to-wall mirror stands apart from the rest of the apartment's antique pieces and peach wall finishings.

Walters' dark brown baby grand piano still stands before one of the three large living room windows that look out on Central Park. The room has ceilings over 10 feet and a wood-burning fireplace.

Architect Nathan Korn designed the 14-story building, built in 1925, in the Italian Renaissance palazzo style with a limestone façade. Amenities in the building include a full-time door attendant, an elevator, and a gym.
