About This Property
Perched among the trees on Fifth Avenue's coveted Gold Coast, and with two principal rooms overlooking Central Park West, Residence 3B brings the serenity of nature to the heart of the city. Bathe in golden afternoon light as it floods the living room and adjoining library, then settle in by the wood-burning fireplace and watch the Autumn sun set over Central Park "when every leaf is a flower."
Designed by renowned architects Schwartz & Gross in 1925, this eight-room residence captures the timeless elegance of prewar architecture in New York. The triple-mint renovation pairs 10' ceilings and hardwood floors with period architectural details that bring warmth and distinction to the rooms. A welcoming foyer opens to a vast central gallery, a stately prelude to the home's classically proportioned rooms. Beyond, the generous living room is equally suited to entertaining or quiet evenings at home. The adjoining park-facing library, once configured as the primary bedroom, now serves as a second living room-an inviting retreat framed by treetops and open views. The expansive primary suite includes a luxuriously appointed marble bath and custom spacious wrap-around dressing room. The secondary en-suite bedroom is generously proportioned with finishes that echo the primary suite including a refined outfitted marble bath. The formal dining room provides a gracious setting for hosting, while the eat-in chef's kitchen with ample custom cabinetry offers a more relaxed place to gather over everyday meals. A rear staff bedroom with full windowed bath, a separate laundry closet and a powder room tucked off the entry gallery completes the layout.
Nestled between 72nd and 73rd Streets, 912 Fifth Avenue is an intimate, full-service cooperative offering just 24 residences, steps from The Frick Collection, Madison Avenue's shops and cafes and the best of the Upper East Side. Residents enjoy a fitness center, private storage and a bike room.
Pied-à-terre, trust and LLC ownership are permitted subject to board approval. Pets are permitted. Financing is not permitted. There is a 2% flip tax.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.
Schwartz & Gross designed this 1925 building, and the apartment's 10-foot ceilings and hardwood floors set the tone from the first room. The listing also describes period architectural details that carry through the rooms, which is what I'd expect from a prewar co-op of this era.
The layout is the main draw. A foyer opens to a central gallery, then to the living room and the park-facing library. The listing says the library was once the primary bedroom and now works as a second living room. I like that flexibility, since it gives you a quiet room away from the formal entertaining spaces.
Both bedrooms have marble baths, and the primary suite adds a wrap-around dressing room. A rear staff bedroom with a full bath, a separate laundry closet and a powder room round out the layout. In-unit laundry is an everyday convenience in New York, especially when the alternative means leaving the apartment, and this apartment has a washer and dryer.
The formal dining room suits hosting, while the eat-in chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry is where everyday meals happen. The living room has a wood-burning fireplace, and the listing says afternoon light fills the living room and library.
At 14 stories, the building has an elevator, and it sits in the Upper East Side Historic District. Pets are allowed, and residents have a fitness center, private storage and a bike room. Central Park is about one minute away on foot, the Frick Collection is about three minutes, and 68 St-Hunter College station on the 6 train is about nine minutes.
Because this is a co-op, buyers should expect board review for certain ownership structures, since pied-a-terre, trust and LLC buyers need board sign-off. The listing also says financing isn't permitted, so if you plan to borrow, confirm that early.
