Bathed in sunlight and offering picturesque views of Central Park, this southwest corner residence is located in one of Fifth Avenue's most prestigious white-glove co-operatives, 980 Fifth Avenue. With nearly 50 feet of frontage along Fifth Avenue, this grand home features stunning views from every room. With three bedrooms (or two and a library) and four full bathrooms, the layout perfectly blends luxury with functionality.

Off a semi-private elevator landing, you are welcomed into a grand entrance gallery. The gallery features an oversized coat closet, a wall of additional built-in storage, and a full bathroom, cleverly concealed as a powder room with a hidden shower. The corner living room, framed by oversized picture windows, offers breathtaking Central Park and city views. Adjacent is an expansive library or third bedroom, while the west-facing formal dining room provides the perfect setting for elegant gatherings or sunset dinners, with a stunning backdrop of the park. The windowed, eat-in kitchen also overlooks Central Park and includes a large breakfast area, pantry closet, two sinks, and excellent storage. There is a staff room with a full bathroom that also overlook Central Park as well as a separate laundry/utility room.

The private quarters offer true tranquility, starting with the remarkable primary bedroom suite, which boasts a wall of oversized windows facing south toward the neighboring landmarked mansions. The suite includes an expansive dressing area with eleven closets and a primary bathroom with two sinks, a bathtub, and a separate shower. The second bedroom suite also faces south and includes an en-suite bathroom and four large closets.

Designed by Paul Resnick and H.F. Green, this distinguished co-operative houses just forty-five residences. There is a circular driveway with a porte-cochere, an on-site garage with discounted rates for tenant-shareholders, and a rooftop observatory deck with panoramic views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline. The building is impeccably staffed with a full-time doorman, concierge, live-in resident manager, and individual storage units. Pied-a-terre ownership is permitted. The building now allows 50% financing and there is a 2.5% flip tax paid by the purchaser.
