A Singular Fifth Avenue Duplex Penthouse



Sitting directly across the street from The Metropolitan Museum of Art and perched atop an exclusive 12-unit, pre-war condominium at 988 Fifth Avenue, this perfectly appointed Penthouse Residence welcomes its next guest with warmly curated interiors and unrivaled private outdoor space over two grand-scale, landscaped terraces.



Offering 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, the Penthouse features floor-to-ceiling windows with sliding doors throughout for a wonderful interplay of indoor/outdoor living. Exposures to the North, West and South feature panoramic views of Central Park, including the Jacqueline Onassis Reservoir, Billionaire's Row, and many more landmarks of the City's iconic skyline.



With direct elevator entry into the main level's generous entrance foyer, you are first met with an oversized and bright corner living room that is further elevated by sumptuous furniture and a double-sided fireplace. A custom-designed, stainless steel chef's kitchen (complete with a substantial skylight), as well as a lovely formal dining room-all with direct access onto the terrace-make for perfect entertaining. Completing this floor are two primary-sized bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. The larger of the two slumbers features a palatial five-fixture bathroom with a deep soaking tub, a built-in office niche, and a private dressing room that also includes a spiral staircase up to a private sitting area, gym, windowed sauna/spa with an Eastern view, and direct access to the upper terrace. The secondary bedroom suite features a bright and airy ensuite bathroom that includes a deluxe marble shower, two windows, and another large skylight.



A beautiful staircase off the dining area leads you to the upper floor where the third guest room and a third full bathroom-replete with more windows, views, and skylights-invites you onto a bonus wrap terrace that includes an outdoor gym, covered pergola, wet bar, multiple seating areas, and three separate private outdoor showers.



This exceptionally rare white-glove, pre-war condominium provides all the amenities of a 5-Star hotel and yet the privacy of your own home. Services include daily housekeeping Monday through Friday, with laundry and ironing if desired, weekly fresh flowers provided and installed by a renowned local florist, satellite TV, WiFi, and a gardener to maintain the outdoor spaces and landscaping. The Penthouse has its own AC and water systems, and the building also has an emergency generator.
