Property Description for 907 Fifth Ave, 12-E

Fifth Ave - Mint Renovation - Top Floor

Beautifully renovated and sun-flooded ten room apartment located on the top floor of one of Fifth Avenue's finest limestone prewar buildings at the South corner of 72nd Street. A semi private landing opens onto an impressive 41-foot gallery. Sun streams in throughout the day from 31 windows and 4 exposures. The residence has soaring 11'3" ceilings, grand scale proportions, and impressive original details including herringbone floors and handsome moldings.

The entertainment rooms consist of a wonderful 20' x 29' corner living room with a wood-burning fireplace, an inviting custom pine paneled library with center window and wall-to-wall bookshelves. The formal dining room opens off the library and can easily seat 16. A corner study hidden by two glass and mahogany pocket doors complete the entertainment wing of the home.

Opening off the dining room is the oversized windowed chef's eat-in kitchen. A center island has seating for three and ample storage. Stone floors and marble countertops outfit the space. There are top of the line appliances including a 6-burner Wolf range with a hood that vents to the outside, Miele dishwasher, Miele wall oven, Miele steamer, Subzero refrigerator & freezer, and a deep double sink. The space is illuminated by two East-facing windows bathing the space in natural light throughout the day. A pantry and desk area complete the kitchen wing. South of the kitchen is a hallway with side-by-side washer & dryer that leads to a home office and a corner guest room with a full bathroom. Both the office and guest room have wonderful light and open city views.

Located on opposite sides of the 41-foot gallery are the two bedroom suites. The enormous North facing master suite, entered through a small vestibule, features amazing closets, including two shoe closets, a large walk-in with dressing area, and an additional five closets for storage. There are two gorgeous oversized en-suite marble bathrooms each with stall showers. On the opposite side of the gallery, the West facing guest bedroom has two closets and a windowed bathroom featuring a soaking tub as well as stall shower.

Built in 1916, this distinctive 12-story Italian-Renaissance-palazzo-style apartment house, designed by legendary architect J.E.R. Carpenter, has the highest levels of service, privacy and security. Amenities include a fully equipped gym, private storage facilities, and a beautifully-landscaped rooftop garden overlooking Central Park, which is one of the most spectacular roof-decks in the city. There is a 3% flip tax paid by the purchaser.

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.
