Description

Ideally positioned to capture the lush vistas of Central Park and the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art, Residence 4/5 at 990 Fifth Avenue is a distinguished duplex apartment comprising approximately 5,000 square feet that offers breathtaking views and captivating southwest light. This architectural gem, with just six residences, was designed in 1927 by Rosario Candela and Warren & Wetmore and provides five bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms and five wood-burning fireplaces. Upon entering, you are greeted by the grandeur of 11-foot ceilings and elegant parquet floors. The expansive living room, centered around a magnificent fireplace, invites you to savor the verdant scenery beyond. Adjacent, a refined library with its own fireplace offers serene moments of relaxation, while the commodious formal dining room, anchored by yet another fireplace, is ideal for grand entertaining. The spacious, windowed chef's kitchen features professional-grade appliances, a large pantry with laundry facilities, and a breakfast room. There is an additional bedroom with en-suite bath adjacent to this space. The second floor houses the private quarters of the home, which embraces enchanting views and features generous dressing areas and en-suite bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms also feature wood-burning fireplaces. With white glove service, private elevator access, soaring ceilings, and intricate crown moldings, this residence epitomizes sophisticated city living within one of Manhattan's most desirable addresses. Two large storage rooms convey with the home. Pieds-a-terre are permitted with Board approval, as are pets. There is a 1% flip tax payable by the buyer, and no financing is allowed.
