Description

920 Fifth Avenue, designed in 1921 by the preeminent architect, J.E.R. Carpenter, and opened for occupancy in October 1922, is one of the finest Fifth Avenue addresses. This exceptional 8th floor, 11 into 10 room home, with above the tree tops Central Park views, is an exemplar of luxurious Fifth Avenue homes. Considered one of Carpenter’s best designed residential buildings, he, as well as his daughter and son-in-law, chose to live at 920 Fifth Avenue.

As you tour this stately and stunning prewar home, one discovers the apartment’s many outstanding features-expansive Central Park views from 6 oversized windows in the living room and 3 main bedrooms, three wood burning fireplaces, a private elevator vestibule, high ceilings and Carpenter’s masterful design,

Entering from the private elevator landing, you are welcomed into the foyer, which is the keystone of Carpenter’s brilliant design.

From here you access the public rooms-living room, library, dining room and the long hallway to the private quarters and three main bedrooms, each with an en suite bath. Other "A" line apartments have added a powder room in the foyer area.

The perfectly proportioned and spacious corner living room has spectacular west and north Central Park views, a wood burning fireplace, original hardwood floors and high ceilings. The library, the ideal room for your media and reading time, enjoys views of the Park’s Conservatory Water (sail boat pond).

Rarely found, the grand dining room has a wood burning fireplace-the perfect venue for memorable events. Entering the long hallway to the private quarters, there are three exceptionally large bedrooms, each with direct Park views and en suite baths and spacious closets. The primary bedroom has an en suite bath with a dressing room, wood burning fireplace and gorgeous park views.

The eat in kitchen is what a kitchen should be-large with ample space for the design of your choice.

In the service area there is a full bath and two smaller bedrooms which could be combined for a larger bedroom.

The apartment has two storage units-a large cage and a locker. The resident’s gym has state of the art equipment and space for private sessions with a trainer. Pets allowed; washer dryer allowed.

The cooperative allows 50% financing.

The flip tax is 2% of the purchase price, paid by the buyer.

With its classic limestone facade from the building’s base to the roof and masterful apartment design, preeminent architectural historians consider 920 Fifth Avenue one of the finest Fifth Avenue buildings. Many residents of note have lived her-recognizing 920 Fifth Avenue’s brilliant design, the doyenne of interior design, Sister Parish, made it her home.
