Description

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.
