Property Description for 900 Fifth Ave, PH
STILL AVAILABLE!
This outstanding penthouse was made for stylish entertaining, with its magnificent views, prime location and gracious layout.
From the moment you enter the gallery from the private elevator landing, you know you are in a special apartment. The wrap terrace, with its panoramic vista of the park and the city, will take your breath away, and with the floor to yourself, there is nothing to disturb your privacy.
The apartment was designed by Maison Jansen for Georgia O'Keeffe's sister, the Palm Beach socialite Anita Ten Eyck Young, with beautiful architectural details throughout. Boiserie panels with elegant moldings line the major rooms and the solid oak Parquet de Versailles floors were specially brought over from Europe.
The grand living room has 180° views of Central Park, accentuated by the five bay windows with park views; it also boasts a wood burning fireplace with marble mantelpiece and built-in bookcases, and accommodates multiple seating areas. Double doors open into the dining room, with its antique 18th century decorative panels and views of the park.
Discreetly located off the dining room are the windowed kitchen, a butler's pantry and laundry room. There is a guest bedroom and a full bathroom; the guest room has views of the Carlyle Hotel and can also be used as an office.
The private bedroom wing is quiet with incredible light and open city views. The master bedroom faces east and north, and has an en suite marble bathroom. The second bedroom faces east and south, has its own bathroom and an abundance of closets, as well as access to the south terrace.
The apartment transfers with two additional staff rooms and a full bathroom on the second floor, plus a storage bin. The building has central air.
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 has a garage which is directly accessed from the apartment elevator. There also is a gym and roofdeck, plus a bike room that provides bicycles for tenant usage. Small pets are permitted.
900 Fifth has an ideal location at the foot of Museum Mile, next to the Frick Museum, steps away from the Boat Pond and other Central Park attractions, and the best shops and restaurants in New York are in easy walking distance.

Quick Profile
Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.
With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.
Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .
There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
