Property Description for 900 Fifth Ave, 16-B

Spectacular residence on the most prestigious block of Fifth Avenue with unobstructed Central Park and Fifth Avenue views, designed by James Thompson, formerly with the renowned David Easton designers.

Can be combined with unit 16A - https://kwnyc.com/fifth-avenue-10021/upper-east-side/coop/193850/

The elegant foyer, with its own powder room, leads into the bright entertainment area, consisting of an open living room, a spacious dining corner and an intimate cocktail lounge. The latter, designed and built by Atelier Jean-Paul Violett, is decorated in a rare, book-matched myrtle burl veneer and alpine calf skin upholstery.
The surfaces are finished in authentic Venetian plaster and the floors feature large Black Galaxy slabs with matching, continuous baseboards. The walls are also designed for hanging artwork without any visible hardware. The whole of Central Park is the gorgeous backdrop to this uniquely customized living space.

The windowed open-concept chefs kitchen is in stainless steel fabricated by Bulthaup in Germany and equipped with top of the line Gaggenau appliances. A graceful TV lounge with wood built-ins complements this space.

The master bedroom, which has been fully sound-proofed, overlooks the Park. The ample amount of closet space is elegantly concealed behind custom-built rare Makassar Ebony cabinetry. A hidden tv screen is cleverly positioned inside the windowsill. The sleek en-suite master in book-matched statuary Calacatta marble features a steam chamber and an elegant tv screen.
The generous second bedroom is currently configured as an office den, decorated with elegant woodwork and glass cabinetry. The adjacent bathroom features stainless steel fixtures, a shower and a cusom-build full-body Jacuzzi. The apartment is complemented by a large laundry room and a spacious walk-in closet.

The unit is equipped with surround sound. All electronics are controlled by the latest generation Lutron system. The prominent doors are finished in book-matched French mahogany veneers surrounded entirely with custom-made nickel-plated brass frames. All the custom metal work throughout the unit was hand fabricated exclusively by Les Metalliers Champenois. The apartment is independently cooled with two air handlers and customized high velocity apertures; humidification is central for the entire unit.

Sharing the elevator landing with only one other apartment, privacy is guaranteed.
900 Fifth Avenue is a white glove building, with 24h doorman, a gym on the top floor, two beautiful outdoor spaces, a garage and storage in the basement, allocated to the apartment. This is an all-cash building which allows pied-a-terre and international buyers.

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.
