Property Description for 993 Fifth Ave, PH

Iconic Beaux Arts Penthouse Masterpiece Overlooking Central Park & The Met Picture a chateau nestled in the verdant hills of the French countryside but with a surprising view of the Louvre off your terrace and salon. This one-of-a-kind Emery Roth-designed full floor penthouse duplex co-op is a dream come true for those who value sophistication and culture. Spread across 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms totaling more than 5,000 sq. ft. of regal interior space plus several park-facing sun terraces, this august residence offers true indoor-outdoor city living. Elegant original details like marble wood-burning fireplaces, herringbone hardwood floors, and intricate crown moldings complement modern upgrades like new oversized casement windows and a high-end central A/C system. On the entry level of the home, a private elevator landing opens into a grand marble foyer and gallery with dramatic double height ceilings, a wrought-iron staircase, and a walk-in coat closet. French doors lead out onto a 53-ft wide terrace with breathtaking Central Park and Billionaires Row views. Baronial formal salon and dining rooms sit on either side of the gallery. The grand salon runs 39-ft deep and has a handsome marble fireplace. It flows into a stately library with another fireplace, custom built-ins, an attached bar, and a windowed powder room. From the dining room, the home flows through a huge butlers pantry and into a large chefs kitchen with an adjoining breakfast room, glazed terracotta tile floors, and high-end stainless steel appliances from Viking and Sub-Zero. Finishing this level are a laundry room with a side-by-side washer/dryer as well as a guest bedroom and staff quarters with easy access to a windowed full bathroom. The windowed staircase leads up to a private second level with three main bedrooms, each of which has access to an incredible wraparound terrace. The front primary suite boasts ample closet and storage space as well as a windowed en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower and deep soaking tub. The rear primary bedroom as well as the additional secondary bedroom each have private closets and their own windowed en-suites. 993 Fifth Avenue is an architecturally significant Emery Roth co-op with a lovely limestone faade and an unbeatable Upper East Side address. Nestled across the street from Central Park and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the building has full-time staff, security, private storage, and a fitness center. It is moments from high-end dining and shopping options and is also close to Neue Galerie and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Pied-a-terre are welcome.

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.
