Property Description for 980 Fifth Ave, 3-B

NOW PRICED TO SELL! Triple mint classic six room home with decor by noted interior designer, Juan Pablo Molyneux. This stunning apartment is flooded with southern light and boasts a serene and expansive private terrace (the only apartment in the building to offer outdoor space, aside from the Penthouse). Gracious proportions, 5" Brazilian walnut floors, French oak paneling, Guerin hardware, custom wall coverings and moldings, and oversized windows characterize this special home.

A semi-private elevator landing leads into a 30-foot long wood-paneled foyer and entry gallery with intricate coffered ceiling and marble flooring with a stunning medallion inlay. A polished mahogany-paneled powder room with Emperador marble and Sherle Wagner fixtures is discreetly located off the foyer. Beyond, an oversized 25-foot long living room features suede-paneled walls and faces south onto the historic architecture of 79th Street. The formal dining room or library, located on the opposite end of the gallery, features hand-painted paneled walls and custom-built-in cabinetry. The apartment's magnificent private terrace with custom pergola is accessed from this room and evokes a distinct European sensibility and feel.

The windowed kitchen is equipped with a glass-front Sub Zero refrigerator, two Wolf electric cooktops, two Wolf electric ovens, warming drawer, two Miele dishwashers, two sinks, Calacatta marble slab countertops and custom cabinetry. Off the kitchen is a staff room or home office with en-suite marble bathroom, a pantry and storage area with service entrance, and a laundry room with Miele side-by-side washer & dryer and commercial sink.

The sumptuous and south-facing master bedroom features two walk-in closets (one with large built-in safe), a separate dressing room with built-in vanity as well as an en-suite marble bathroom with radiant heat floors and separate shower and soaking tub.

The elegantly designed second bedroom, currently utilized as a home office and dressing room, faces the terrace and includes an en-suite marble bathroom and elegant built-in closets.

The apartment features an integrated audio/visual system, motorized solar shades, and central HVAC with individually controlled units.

980 Fifth Avenue, designed by Paul Resnick and H.F. Green and comprised of just 45 apartments, features 24-hour white-glove staff, a welcoming circular drive with porte-cochere, ON-SITE GARAGE WITH PREFERENTIAL RATES FOR SHAREHOLDERS, live-in resident manager, and private storage.

Upper East Side | Manhattan

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.
