Property Description for 920 Fifth Ave, 2-A
FIFTH AVENUE & 73RD ST. - CLASSIC PERFECTION ON THE PARK
Ideally situated on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 73rd Street, this exceptional nine room residence is located in one of Fifth Avenue's most sought-after limestone-clad cooperatives. It occupies the entire front of the building on Fifth Avenue, overlooking Central Park. The building was completed by renowned architect J.E.R. Carpenter in 1922. Mr. Carpenter was responsible for many of the most impressive residential buildings on both Fifth Avenue and Park Avenue, and 920 Fifth Avenue was the building he chose as his personal residence.
A private elevator landing opens onto an impressive 16 x 14 gallery which leads to a stunning 63 foot expanse of entertainment rooms overlooking Central Park and East 73rd Street. Light streams in throughout the day through six over-sized windows overlooking majestic mature trees and the famous Central Park Boat Pond. Adjacent to the living room is a wonderful library which also has views of Central Park, it features a large wet bar for entertaining as well as a renovated windowed guest bathroom. The private south wing of the residence also overlooks Central Park and features an over-sized guest bedroom with a renovated en-suite windowed bathroom, and an enormous main suite with double bathrooms and outstanding walk in closets and dressing areas. The largest of the double bathrooms is renovated with classic white marble, and is the size of many bedrooms.
The vast kitchen area is over 350 square feet, and has excellent storage and counter space. A double staff room with an en-suite windowed bathroom complete this wing of the home.
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 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.
There is a 2% flip tax payable by the buyer.

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.
