Description

Perfectly positioned on one of Fifth Avenue’s most coveted stretches along Central Park and ideally located at the corner of East 72nd Street, 907 Fifth Avenue is known for the elegance of its architecture and for the scale and grace of its proportions. Within, this exquisitely and comprehensively renovated one-bedroom residence retains its timeless prewar appeal and is a delight in every way.

Bathed in eastern morning light, the home is distinguished by soaring 10’2” ceilings, a gracious 22-foot living room ideal for both sophisticated entertaining and everyday living, a large, renovated kitchen with ample space for seating, a spacious corner bedroom with generous closet space, and a gorgeous marble bathroom with British fittings and exquisite detail. Throughout, the delightful scale and proportions of a more elegant time are underpinned by details coveted today, such as new hardwood floors, new through-the-wall air conditioning, streamlined media portals, an electric fireplace, and a classically designed kitchen and bath.

Designed by the legendary J.E.R. Carpenter and completed in 1915, 907 Fifth Avenue stands among the Upper East Side’s most storied prewar cooperatives — a limestone palazzo conceived in the Italian Renaissance tradition, wrapped around a central courtyard, and among the very first grand apartment houses to rise where private mansions once stood along Fifth Avenue. Honored with the AIA Gold Medal in 1916, the building remains a touchstone of architectural distinction nearly a century on.

Residents enjoy exceptional white-glove service and amenities, including a full-time doorman, a well-appointed fitness center, a landscaped rooftop terrace with truly spectacular views across Central Park, a laundry room, and private storage. Pets are welcomed. Set at the storied corner of East 72nd Street and Fifth Avenue, this is a residence of uncommon charm and pedigree — an extraordinary opportunity to call one of Manhattan’s most distinguished addresses home.
