Property Description for 900 Fifth Ave, 6-A
This coveted corner A-line apartment at 900 Fifth Avenue, reimagined by the current owner to take full advantage of the light and sweeping views, offers the finest in Upper East Side living. Located at the corner of 71st Street and Fifth Avenue and boasting over 42 feet of park frontage, this 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home is in meticulous condition and offers a rare opportunity for the discerning buyer.
A semi-private elevator landing leads to a spacious entry gallery with a marble floor and custom lighting. The park-facing public rooms have been lofted to offer a grand and airy living/dining space, replete with 14 windows lining Fifth Avenue, graced by tree-top views west and open city views down Fifth Avenue and over The Frick Museum.
The chef's kitchen, which can be closed off for privacy when entertaining, boasts a Dacor oven and six-burner stove-top, a SubZero refrigerator and wine cooler, a built-in Miele convection oven/microwave, a Bosch dishwasher and a breakfast bar. Also facing Fifth Avenue is a large bedroom (currently being used as a den & office) separated by a pocket door, complete with an en-suite bath and a roomy closet.
The other two bedrooms face south and are filled with abundant sunshine all day long. The luxurious primary suite consists of an oversized bedroom, two large dressing areas and several additional closets and custom built-ins. The primary bathroom, done in custom tiles, has 2 sinks, a walk-in shower and a deep soaking tub which is positioned under 3 large windows, offering views over The Frick Gardens. The third bedroom is also generous in scale, with an en-suite bath and a walk-in closet.
The apartment has thru-wall air-conditioning, built-in overhead lighting and automatic shades in every room. There is a separate washer/dryer closet in the hall behind the kitchen, which boasts additional storage.
900 Fifth Avenue is a full-service luxury post-war cooperative designed by Sylvan Bien and built in 1959. The building offers white-glove service including a full-time doorman, a live-in resident manager, a planted roof-top terrace with breathtaking views, a fitness center, a bike-room and a resident's only parking garage. A large storage cage conveys with the apartment. Dogs under 25 lbs are welcome.
There is a 2% flip-tax to be paid by the purchaser and up to 50% financing is permitted, as are pieds-a-terre and international buyers.

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.
