Description
Imagine a chateau nestled in the rolling green hills of the French countryside, but with an amazing view of the Louvre from your terrace and living room. This one-of-a-kind duplex penthouse, designed by Emery Roth, is a dream come true for those who appreciate sophistication and culture.
Spread over 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms totaling over 5,000 sq. ft. of stately interior space and several sunny terraces overlooking the park, this residence offers true urban living inside and out. Elegant original details such as marble fireplaces, herringbone wood floors and intricate crown molding complement modern upgrades such as new oversized casement windows and a top-of-the-line central air conditioning system.
On the entry level of the home, a private elevator landing opens to a large marble foyer and gallery with dramatic double-height ceilings, a wrought-iron staircase and a walk-in closet. French doors lead to a 53 ft. wide terrace with sweeping views of Central Park and Billionaire's Row. A baroque living room and dining room are on either side of the gallery.
The large living room is 40 feet deep and features a beautiful marble fireplace. It opens to a stately library with another fireplace, custom built-ins, an adjoining bar, and a powder room with window. From the dining room, the home flows through a huge pantry and large chef's kitchen with an adjoining breakfast room, glazed terra cotta tile floors and high-end stainless steel appliances from Viking and Sub-Zero. This level ends with a laundry room equipped with a side-by-side washer and dryer, as well as a guest bedroom and staff quarters with easy access to a full bathroom with window.
The glass-enclosed staircase leads to a private second level with three master bedrooms, each with access to an incredible wrap-around deck. The front master bedroom has ample storage space and an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower and deep soaking tub. The rear master bedroom as well as the additional secondary bedroom each have private closets and their own en-suite bathroom with window.
993 Fifth Avenue is an architecturally significant Emery Roth co-op with a beautiful limestone façade and an unbeatable Upper East Side address. Nestled across the street from Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the building features full-time staff, security, private storage and a fitness center. It is minutes from upscale restaurants and stores, as well as close to the Neue Galerie and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Guest rooms are welcome. A ground-floor office/staff unit can also be purchased separately.
