912 5th Avenue #3B

Perched among the trees on Fifth Avenue's coveted Gold Coast, and with two principal rooms overlooking Central Park West, Residence 3B brings the serenity of nature to the heart of the city. Bathe in golden afternoon light as it floods the living room and adjoining library, then settle in by the wood-burning fireplace and watch the Autumn sun set over Central Park "when every leaf is a flower." Designed by renowned architects Schwartz & Gross in 1925, this eight-room residence captures the timeless elegance of prewar architecture in New York. The triple-mint renovation pairs 10' ceilings and hardwood floors with period architectural details that bring warmth and distinction to the rooms. A welcoming foyer opens to a vast central gallery, a stately prelude to the home's classically proportioned rooms. Beyond, the generous living room is equally suited to entertaining or quiet evenings at home. The adjoining park-facing library, once configured as the primary bedroom, now serves as a second living room-an inviting retreat framed by treetops and open views. The expansive primary suite includes a luxuriously appointed marble bath and custom spacious wrap-around dressing room. The secondary en-suite bedroom is generously proportioned with finishes that echo the primary suite including a refined outfitted marble bath. The formal dining room provides a gracious setting for hosting, while the eat-in chef's kitchen with ample custom cabinetry offers a more relaxed place to gather over everyday meals. A rear staff bedroom with full windowed bath, a separate laundry closet and a powder room tucked off the entry gallery completes the layout. Nestled between 72nd and 73rd Streets, 912 Fifth Avenue is an intimate, full-service cooperative offering just 24 residences, steps from The Frick Collection, Madison Avenue's shops and cafes and the best of the Upper East Side. Residents enjoy a fitness center, private storage and a bike room. Pied-à-terre, trust and LLC ownership are permitted subject to board approval. Pets are permitted. Financing is not permitted.
