Property Description for 920 Fifth Ave, 5-A

This exquisite A-line residence, designed by the esteemed Peter Marino, is a testament to luxury living on Fifth Avenue, at the prestigious corner of Fifth Avenue and 73rd Street. Occupying the entire front of a limestone-clad cooperative, this exceptional apartment enjoys a vantage point that is second to none, with panoramic views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline that are truly breathtaking.

The building itself, completed in 1922 by the renowned architect J.E.R. Carpenter, is a marvel of Italian Palazzo style architecture. Carpenter, whose work has significantly shaped the residential landscape of Fifth and Park Avenues, chose 920 Fifth Avenue as his personal residence, a testament to the building's exceptional quality and desirability.

Upon entering the apartment, residents and guests are greeted by a private elevator landing that opens onto an impressive gallery. This leads to a stunning living room with oversized windows that frame the Central Park Boat Pond and Lake, ensuring light-filled days and evenings highlighted by spectacular sunsets.

The residence boasts three ensuite bedrooms, each flooded with light and offering park views, ensuring a serene and luxurious living experience. The dining room, capable of comfortably seating 16 people, and an oversized wood-paneled living room crafted from cerused oak, provide ample space for entertaining and relaxation. The kitchen, designed with the culinary enthusiast in mind, features an eat-in area, top-of-the-line appliances, and a separate laundry/staff room.

Located in the Upper East Side's most elegant neighborhood, this apartment is in close proximity to the finest New York has to offer: the shops of Madison Avenue, cultural landmarks like The Frick Collection and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the city's best private schools. The Inventor's Gate at 72nd Street offers easy access to Central Park's vast array of outdoor activities, including walking, hiking, biking, boating, and playgrounds.

920 Fifth Avenue's residents enjoy the highest level of service and security, alongside amenities that include a roof terrace, private storage, and a brand new fitness center equipped with state-of-the-art Technogym equipment, a Peloton bike, and a full Pilates Reformer. There is a 2% flip tax payable by the Buyer. 920 Fifth Avenue now permits 50% financing. Additionally, there is a combination opportunity with the residence next door, the B-line, allowing for incredible square footage.

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.
