PREWAR FULL-FLOOR CONDO OVERLOOKING CENTRAL PARK

Exquisitely designed by James E.R. Carpenter, a premier architect of luxury residential high rise buildings in the 1920's, and built in 1925, the gracious beaux-arts 988 Fifth Avenue is an exceptionally rare full service prewar condominium, perfectly located on the southeast corner of quiet 80th Street and Fifth Avenue.

The ninth floor at 988 Fifth Avenue is a magnificently renovated private full-floor residence overlooking Central Park and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. This apartment is approximately 3,530 square feet, with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, and was completely rebuilt and redesigned to the highest level. This home boasts four exposures, which fill the apartment with gorgeous natural light throughout the day and exquisite architectural details throughout every room.

Some beautiful features of the home include high ceilings over 10 feet, new oversized quiet windows, direct views of Central Park, Lutron and Crestron lighting controls, Dornbracht and THG plumbing fixtures throughout, central air conditioning and heating with built-in humidification, and a washer-dryer. The home has been renovated to the highest standard with Marron Grecale and Thassos marble, lacquered walls, Poliform closets, custom Tabu Zebrano cabinetry and automatic window treatments in every room.
