About 927 Fifth Avenue
One of the finest and most exclusive limestone-clad apartment houses on Fifth Avenue, this small but extremely elegant building was designed by Warren & Wetmore, the main architects of Grand Central Terminal.
The 12-story building has only 12 apartments and was completed in 1917.
The detailed here is extremely fine and the two-story arched entrance with a head-scroll keystone is particularly handsome.
The building's location is sensational as it overlooks the sailing boat pond in Central Park, but is two blocks north of the major park entrance at 72nd Street. The building, which has a concierge and doorman, has fabulous views.
Although its frontage on the avenue is relatively narrow, this is a supremely desirable address in this very posh neighborhood.
