Property Description for 980 Fifth Ave, 6-A
Bathed in sunlight and offering picturesque views of Central Park, this southwest corner residence is located in one of Fifth Avenue's most prestigious white-glove co-operatives, 980 Fifth Avenue. With nearly 50 feet of frontage along Fifth Avenue, this grand home features stunning views from every room. With three bedrooms (or two and a library) and four full bathrooms, the layout perfectly blends luxury with functionality.
Off a semi-private elevator landing, you are welcomed into a grand entrance gallery. The gallery features an oversized coat closet, a wall of additional built-in storage, and a full bathroom, cleverly concealed as a powder room with a hidden shower. The corner living room, framed by oversized picture windows, offers breathtaking Central Park and city views. Adjacent is an expansive library or third bedroom, while the west-facing formal dining room provides the perfect setting for elegant gatherings or sunset dinners, with a stunning backdrop of the park. The windowed, eat-in kitchen also overlooks Central Park and includes a large breakfast area, pantry closet, two sinks, and excellent storage. There is a staff room with a full bathroom that also overlook Central Park as well as a separate laundry/utility room.
The private quarters offer true tranquility, starting with the remarkable primary bedroom suite, which boasts a wall of oversized windows facing south toward the neighboring landmarked mansions. The suite includes an expansive dressing area with eleven closets and a primary bathroom with two sinks, a bathtub, and a separate shower. The second bedroom suite also faces south and includes an en-suite bathroom and four large closets.
Designed by Paul Resnick and H.F. Green, this distinguished co-operative houses just forty-five residences. There is a circular driveway with a porte-cochere, an on-site garage with discounted rates for tenant-shareholders, and a rooftop observatory deck with panoramic views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline. The building is impeccably staffed with a full-time doorman, concierge, live-in resident manager, and individual storage units. Pied-a-terre ownership is permitted. The building now allows 50% financing and there is a 2.5% flip tax paid by the purchaser.

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.
