Property Description for 980 Fifth Ave, 5-A
Drenched in sunlight, this southwest corner residence has picturesque views of Central Park and is located in one of Fifth Avenue's premier white-glove co-operatives. The magnificent home has three bedrooms or two and a library, and three and a half bathrooms. The elegant entertaining rooms include a corner living room, a formal dining room, a windowed eat-in kitchen, and a staff bedroom. With 50 feet of frontage on Fifth Avenue, there are stunning views from every room, oversized windows, and herringbone floors.
Off of a semi-private elevator landing is a grand entrance gallery, a powder room, and an oversized coat closet. All three entertaining rooms flow off the gallery. In the corner is the living room which boasts oversized picture windows with Central Park and city views. Adjacent is an oversized library or third bedroom. The west-facing formal dining room is ideal for sunset dinners overlooking the park and affords an elegant space for gatherings. The kitchen overlooks Central Park and has a large breakfast room and excellent storage and a pantry closet. It is equipped with appliances from Subzero, Miele, and Frigidaire. Also overlooking Central Park is a staff suite with its own full bathroom with a shower. Completing the public spaces is a laundry room and a linen closet.
As for the private quarters, there is an extraordinary primary bedroom suite that faces south with a wall of picture windows overlooking the neighboring landmarked mansions. It has an incredible dressing room with six large closets and a spacious primary bathroom with two sinks, a bathtub, and a separate shower. The second bedroom suite also faces south with its own en-suite bathroom. The building allows no financing and there is a 2.5% flip tax.
This distinguished co-operative was designed by Paul Resnick and H.F. Green and houses just forty-five residences. It has a rare circular driveway with a porte-cochere, an on-site garage with discounted rates for tenant-shareholders, and a rooftop observatory deck overlooking Central Park and the iconic Manhattan skyline. The building is superbly staffed with a full-time doorman, concierge, live-in resident manager, and individual storage units. Pied-a-terre ownership is 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.
