A rare duplex masterpiece with 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms plus 2 powder rooms and views of Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and New York cityscapes!

With brand new oversized wood-framed windows lining the home's southern and western sides, plus additional exposure to the east, natural sunlight streams in all day and the views are mesmerizing. Both sprawling levels are accessed by an elevator with direct entry, as well as two custom floating spiral staircases created and imported from France and set on either side of the duplex. Magnificent elements grace every inch of the refined interiors and are truly top of the line. Most notable features include exquisite stone floors, dramatic recessed ceilings with rich wood beams, striking coffered and oval ceilings, gold and platinum leaf accents, remarkable custom lighting, 4 wood burning fireplaces, tasteful custom built-ins, state-of-the-art HVAC, and lavish materials throughout. The grand main level exudes elegance and affords a perfect layout for lavish entertaining. Hold large-scale gatherings effortlessly in the enormous living room with a fireplace, or host guests in the additional living/dining area separated by pocket doors, adjoined by an open chef's dream kitchen. The huge, spectacular cook's quarters is appointed with custom cabinetry, stone countertops and top-grade integrated appliances, and with a separate butler's pantry and service entrance nearby, easy serving and grocery deliveries. Each entertaining area has its own convenient powder room as well.

On the second level are four spacious bedrooms each with ensuite baths, abundant closets, and a laundry room. The magnificent primary bedroom retreat is accessed by a private gallery and complemented by an oversized sitting room with fireplace, capacious dressing room lined with closets, and a "you must see it to believe it" custom spa bathroom.

One of the most exclusive residences in Manhattan, 990 Fifth Avenue is a discrete, intimate 6-residence cooperative on Fifth Avenue, located adjacent to the Metropolitan Museum and across from Central Park.

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.
