Description

Apartment 9A at 980 Fifth Avenue enjoys beautiful, uninterrupted views of definitive New York icons, Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as well as the city's exemplary architecture on Central Park South and Central Park West. The corner position of this 2-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom plus a library is well-balanced with a separation of the private quarters from the communal spaces, beginning with an impressive gallery that connects both wings. Standing in the gallery, a direct view of Central Park's treetops is framed by one of three over-sized, west-facing windows in the great room. The southwest wing consists of the open great room for living and dining, a library or third bedroom with a wet bar, and an elegantly renovated, eat-in galley kitchen with a spacious breakfast room, laundry room, staff suite with a full bathroom, as well as a private service entrance. In the southeast wing, an airy master suite with a walk-in closet is accessed through a large private dressing area with two additional walk-in closets. The master bath is appointed with double sinks, a full bathtub, and separate stall shower. The second bedroom/junior suite features a wall of closets and its own full bathroom. 980 Fifth Avenue is one of the most pronounced high-rise cooperatives on Museum Mile. The full-service, post-war building located directly across from Central Park houses only 45 residences and is pet and pied-a-terre friendly. Residents may reserve a dedicated parking space in the building's garage for $250.00/month.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its quiet, 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.
