There are only two residences on the floor, resulting in a semi-private landing out of your two elevators. Enter into the home via a proper foyer (with powder room) and subsequent gallery that spills westward into an enormous great room of almost forty feet in length.he dining area is open to the great room and gallery, but partitioned off and with room enough for a grand entertaining table. The great room houses multiple seating areas, a built-in office with desk, and built-in shelving. All of this space while being situated on the most iconic New York perch, clearing the buildings to the south and enjoying the best view on earth.
The kitchen is outfitted with all chef's appliances and ample counter space, and houses a pantry, bar, full-sized laundry room with sink, and tons of storage. It has a separate breakfast room and additional den area that could easily act as a staff quarters or guest area, with an en-suite full bath.

There is a six-piece primary bathroom complete with double vanity, stall shower, bidet, soaking tub, and toilet. The secondary suite has a three-piece en-suite bath and stunning views to boast as well.
The home has been outfitted into a two bedroom, but can easily be transitioned back into a three bedroom or four bedroom, how it was originally built. It has been upgraded with central air conditioning, automatic shades throughout the home, and a sound system.
980 Fifth Avenue is an exclusive, full service cooperative allowing pets and pieds-a-terre. Financing is not allowed.

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.
