Property Description for 920 Fifth Ave, 6-B

Mint Prewar Residence on Fifth Avenue

Magnificently renovated classic 8 in a prestigious limestone prewar cooperative, ideally located at Fifth Avenue and 73rd Street. This exceptional two year renovation achieved a stunning modern aesthetic while still preserving the impressive detail and proportions of this classic prewar home, all designed by David Kleinberg. Oversized windows, soaring ceilings, and luxurious finishes are just some of the highlights of this exquisite sundrenched residence. No attention to detail has been spared from the top-of-the-line Scavolini designed chef's kitchen and Dornbracht fixtures throughout, to the brand new systems including central air conditioning, electrical wiring, radiant heated floors in all bathrooms, Sonos sound system and state of the art home security system.

A limestone clad private landing opens into an elegant gallery fitted with a limestone floor with a rich dark wood border. The gallery has a coat closet and a newly added oversized powder room also clad in limestone & slate, and has a hammered steel sink. Off the gallery is the enormous corner living room, which has beautiful views over the Pulitzer Mansion and the elegant townhouses on East 73rd Street. The living room has ample space for multiple seating areas, a wood burning fireplace with a limestone mantle, and a doublewide entrance into the adjacent dining room. The North-facing dining room can easily seat 18 guests and has oblique Central Park views and excellent wall space for art.

Located discretely off the dining room is the chef's windowed eat-in kitchen facing South. A custom-made terrazzo floor carries through the kitchen into the den, maid's room and laundry area. Miele appliances including two dishwashers, a refrigerator & freezer, two wall ovens, a 5-burner induction cooktop, and coffee maker enhance the sleek modern designed space. There is also a triple zoned 84 bottle wine refrigerator, two sinks, and a breakfast area that can easily seat six. Flowing off the kitchen is a built-in home office that opens into an amazing den/library/media room. A laundry area, maid's room & full bathroom complete this wing of the residence.

The private bedroom wing is located off the gallery. The Southeast facing double master bedroom suite was created by combining two bedrooms. This generous space includes a sitting area and windowed dressing space that has three walls of oversized custom closets. There are two full windowed marble bathrooms in the suite-one clad in Bianco Dolomite marble with a Jacuzzi, spa shower, and spacious vanity; the other has a handsome Olympic Grey marble with spa shower and vanity. The secondary bedroom located at the end of the bedroom corridor is the original master bedroom, and provides an ample suite complete with custom closets and en-suite marbled window bathroom with tub & shower.

920 Fifth Avenue is a white glove prewar cooperative designed in the Italian palazzo style by J.E.R Carpenter in 1922. The building is comprised of 14 stories and 26 apartments. Carpenter was one of the two most prominent architects of the period, and he chose this building as his home. Residents enjoy the highest level of service and security, as well as a roof terrace and private storage. The brand new fitness center includes state of the art Technogym Equipment, a Peloton Bike and a full Pilates Reformer.

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.
