Description
Floating over Central Park with corner views of the Metropolitan Museum of Art from the perfect 6th floor vantage point, this pre war 3550 SF condominium is unusual for its scale, light, location and the everlasting protected views of a Fifth Avenue apartment. Boasting 50 feet of Central Park frontage, soaring over 10-foot ceilings, this fully renovated 5 bedroom apartment is uniquely one of only 2 prewar condominiums on 5th Avenue located on one of the most beautiful corners on the Upper East Side. Designed by the esteemed prewar architect J.E.R. Carpenter 988 Fifth Avenue is a full service condominium with a full time doorman and live-in resident manager, building storage, a bike room, and is pet friendly. Enter from your private elevator landing into the grand foyer that opens to both the light filled corner Living Room and the oversized Dining Room each with a custom limestone fireplace. The foyer also leads to the powder room and the oversized eat-in kitchen with custom cerused oak and hand painted cabinetry, two large SubZero refrigerators, two dishwashers, two sinks, and Miele appliances. With custom pocket doors, the main entertaining rooms can all open into one another, bringing in light, Central Park views, and loft-like expanses throughout. This allows a wonderful flow that will accommodate modern lifestyle needs yet can seamlessly transition back into classically designated spaces. The gallery leads to 4 gracious bedrooms, one of which can be converted back into a library. There is a 5th bedroom or office space and bathroom at the rear of the apartment. The apartment has a laundry area with vented dryer, ample custom closets throughout plus a dedicated storage space in the basement that transfers. There is a 2% Flip Tax Paid By Buyer. Broker owner

Known for 'Museum Mile' and its quiet, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle.
