Spectacular Central Park Views
988 Fifth Avenue

A large high floor nine room apartment which has the rare combination of spectacular Central Park views, prime Fifth Avenue location, and of being  a condominium in a beautiful 1926 prewar building by the architect, James E.R. Carpenter, is being offered for the first time in over 30 years.

Beautifully maintained, the apartment has four exposures, two fireplaces, approximately 10' ceilings, original moldings, herringbone floors, and a private elevator landing. The large corner drawing room (18 x27) with lovely wood paneling and antique marble fireplace has extraordinary views of Central Park and the Central Park West skyline. The entrance of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, dramatically lit at night, can be seen from the north window of the drawing room, as well as the Central Park reservoir and the George Washington Bridge beyond.

The sunny, large corner dining room also has wonderful Central Park views as well as views south over the city to the Central Park South skyline. A library off the dining  room completes the public rooms.

A bedroom corridor off the entrance gallery leads to three master bedrooms with side views of Central Park. The grand master bedroom (19 x 21) has three exposures, north, east and south, and has the possibility of a fireplace which once existed on the east wall of the bedroom.  Each bedroom has large oversized baths en suite.

The kitchen, large and efficient, has two maids' rooms and a laundry adjacent.
