Description

Located in one of the most distinguished cooperatives in NYC, this magnificent 14 room apartment is beautifully renovated and features sun flooded interiors, soaring high ceilings, lovely and grandly proportioned rooms, and exceptional architectural details.
A massive windowed Gallery opens to three fabulous entertaining rooms, laid out in enfilade format, with a fireplace on both the northern and southern flank. These extraordinary public rooms are distinguished by broad sweeping views of the Metropolitan Museum faade.

There is a handsome and well- appointed Living Room, a marvelous oval-shaped Library and a massive Dining Room. A windowed Powder Room with outlooks into the unique limestone clad building courtyard is conveniently located off of the Gallery.
Beyond, the vast back of house is comprised of a custom-fitted Pantry, Laundry, chef’s Kitchen and Breakfast Room.

In addition, there are also two oversized Bedrooms with a shared Bath. Alternatively, they can function as a Gym, Play Room or Media Room. Additionally, two Staff Rooms are situated along an ample and gracious corridor.

The private quarters have the very good fortune of a marvelous southern exposure that ensures abundant sunlight all day and throughout the year. The enormous master bedroom suite is entered via a private Sitting Room that includes a large walk-in closet and many additional closets. Then wrapping a corner with views of Central Park and the Southern skyline, the Master Bedroom also boasts a windowed Cielo marble bathroom, as well as a second marble bath.

Situated along a wide hall, there are two additional Bedrooms, each with excellent closets and a marble bath ensuite.
998 Fifth was constructed in 1912 by the distinguished architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White. The 12-story palatial Italian Renaissance style building with its dignified limestone faade is legendary for being specifically designed to offer all the advantages of private townhouse living.
