Description

Rare opportunity to own as your main residence or as a pied-a-terre, a Fifth Avenue cooperative gem with a recent full renovation. No expense was spared to create a home that wields a rare balance of warmth, utility, and elegant spaciousness. With its own private foyer, guests will be charmed by the sun drenched living room plus the sitting room in this tastefully designed home.

With a dining area that can seat 10, this apartment is ideal for hosting the grandest of gatherings. The open kitchen is fit for any chef's needs, with black granite counter-tops, a full suite of Miele appliances, including gas range, double oven, dishwasher, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator.

Catch up on your reading in the living room, with awe-inspiring southern exposures and diagonal views straight into Central Park and overlooking the Frick museum. Both bedrooms feature the rarity of full en-suite bathrooms, with an additional half bath / powder room for your guests. The master bedroom overlooks the Frick Museum, with south and east exposures, while the guest bedroom looks to the north and east. In addition to ample closet space, the home features custom cabinetry and built-in shelving throughout, amplifying the storage potential already expansive rooms.

Both bedrooms feature carpeting, while oak hardwood flooring runs throughout the rest of the apartment.

900 Fifth is located next to the essentials of high-class Manhattan: residents live at the foot of Museum Mile next to the Frick Museum, the Boat Pond and other Central Park attractions, and the best shops and restaurants in New York are in easy walking distance.

Designed by Sylvan and Robert Bien and built as a coop in 1959 by William R. Buxbaum, 900 Fifth Avenue is a white glove, full service building, with a 24-hour doorman and concierge. The building's garage is directly accessible from the apartment elevator. Additional amenities include a full gym, roof deck, and bike room that provides bicycles for tenant usage. Small pets are allowed.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
