About This Property
Perfectly positioned on one of Fifth Avenue’s most coveted stretches along Central Park and ideally located at the corner of East 72nd Street, 907 Fifth Avenue is known for the elegance of its architecture and for the scale and grace of its proportions. Within, this exquisitely and comprehensively renovated one-bedroom residence retains its timeless prewar appeal and is a delight in every way.
Bathed in eastern morning light, the home is distinguished by soaring 10’2” ceilings, a gracious 22-foot living room ideal for both sophisticated entertaining and everyday living, a large, renovated kitchen with ample space for seating, a spacious corner bedroom with generous closet space, and a gorgeous marble bathroom with British fittings and exquisite detail. Throughout, the delightful scale and proportions of a more elegant time are underpinned by details coveted today, such as new hardwood floors, new through-the-wall air conditioning, streamlined media portals, an electric fireplace, and a classically designed kitchen and bath.
Designed by the legendary J.E.R. Carpenter and completed in 1915, 907 Fifth Avenue stands among the Upper East Side’s most storied prewar cooperatives — a limestone palazzo conceived in the Italian Renaissance tradition, wrapped around a central courtyard, and among the very first grand apartment houses to rise where private mansions once stood along Fifth Avenue. Honored with the AIA Gold Medal in 1916, the building remains a touchstone of architectural distinction nearly a century on.
Residents enjoy exceptional white-glove service and amenities, including a full-time doorman, a well-appointed fitness center, a landscaped rooftop terrace with truly spectacular views across Central Park, a laundry room, and private storage. Pets are welcomed. Set at the storied corner of East 72nd Street and Fifth Avenue, this is a residence of uncommon charm and pedigree — an extraordinary opportunity to call one of Manhattan’s most distinguished addresses home.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Sothebys International Realty.
Honored with the AIA Gold Medal in 1916, 907 Fifth Avenue was designed by R. Carpenter and completed in 1915. It's a limestone palazzo in the Italian Renaissance tradition, wrapped around a central courtyard and within the Upper East Side Historic District. This one-bedroom, one-bath apartment keeps its prewar character inside a renovated layout.
The living room is 22 feet long, enough room for both dinner and everyday seating. Ceilings are 10 feet 2 inches, which gives furniture more room to sit comfortably and keeps the rooms feeling open.
The listing says the home gets eastern morning light. For a window facing east, direct sun runs from about 7:41 AM to 11:14 AM at the winter solstice and from about 7:20 AM to 12:36 PM at the spring equinox. Nearby buildings can block it, so it's worth seeing the apartment early in the day.
The kitchen was renovated with ample space for seating and has a dishwasher. The marble bathroom has British fittings. The bedroom is a corner room with generous closet space. New hardwood floors, through-the-wall air conditioning and an electric fireplace are part of the apartment.
The building has an elevator, a gym, a health club, a laundry room, private storage and a roof deck, and the listing describes a full-time doorman. Central Park is about 1 minute away on foot, the Frick is about 2 minutes, and the 68 St-Hunter College station on the 6 line is about 8 minutes on foot.
Because this is a co-op, the purchase goes through the building's review process. Your broker or an attorney is the right person to walk you through those requirements.
