第五大道990號，8/9號住宅
13個房間 | 4間臥室 | 5.5間浴室 | 5個壁爐 | 約4,372平方英尺

該奢華的13房預戰複式住宅理想地坐落於第五大道和80街的交界處，自1927年建成以來首次公開出售，並且令人驚訝的是，原始的平面圖和細節仍然完好無損。該樓最初建於F.W. Woolworth大廈的地點，由奢華預戰公寓樓的首席建築師Rosario Candela設計，僅包含六個宏偉的住宅單位，包括五個複式單位和一個頂層三層公寓，提供獨特的親密感、隱私和排他性，以及最高水平的服務和安全性。

雖然公寓需要全面翻新，但它保持著Candela原始設計的瑰麗結構和細節。一個私人電梯大廳通往這個有著11英尺高天花板的公寓，從大廳進入，所有娛樂房間由此展開。宏大的角落客廳光線充足，擁有古董拼花地板、精緻的模具、一個壯觀的大理石壁爐，並擁有中央公園、中央公園西、藝術博物館和中城天際線的壯麗景色。迷人的木飾圖書室也有木燃壁爐，帶有大理石壁爐架，正式餐廳則擁有華麗的鑲嵌大理石地板。一個廚房、管家儲藏室、三個員工房間和一間浴室構成了這一層的配置。

華麗裝飾、有金箔點綴的鐵藝樓梯通往樓上的私人區域。這一層有9'4"的天花板，擁有一個極其宏偉的角落主臥套房，內有大衣櫃、壁爐和套房浴室，享有與樓下客廳相同的驚人光線和視野。長長的走廊兩側是步入式衣櫃，這裡有三個大型臥室，每個臥室都有套房浴室，其中一間實際上可作為第二個主套房，擁有自己的木燃壁爐和更衣區，亦可輕鬆作為書房使用。

這個特殊的住宅有著非凡的歷史。它最初由喬治·克勞福德於1927年購得，當時他和妻子安妮·洛里及其女兒瑪莎“陽光”·夏普·克勞福德住在此公寓裡，瑪莎長大後嫁給奧地利的阿爾弗雷德王子·馮·奧爾斯佩格，後來又嫁給克勞斯·馮·比勒。陽光的母親安妮·洛里後來嫁給了名聲顯赫的陶瓷雕塑家、運動員、作家及大獵手拉塞爾·巴納特·艾肯。兩人一起追求對房子、英法傢俱、兵器和裝飾藝術的共同興趣，以及許多慈善事業。位於大都會藝術博物館的安妮·洛里·艾肯英國畫廊和拉塞爾·巴納特·艾肯兵器和盔甲畫廊代表了他們對位於家對街該機構的獻身。在結婚近30年後，安妮·洛里於1984年去世。數年後，拉塞爾·艾肯娶了愛琳·博伊德·羅斯福，後者是約翰·阿斯平瓦爾·羅斯福的寡婦，約翰是埃莉諾和富蘭克林·D·羅斯福總統的幼子，愛琳在這公寓中生活直到她於2025年春季去世。

公寓出售所得將捐贈給弗里克收藏、藝術博物館及摩根圖書館和博物館，繼續其前居民所體現的文化慈善傳統。

這樣的傳承公寓非常少見，是不容錯過的機會。

SHOWINGS BEGIN THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6TH

990 Fifth Avenue, Residence 8/9
13 Rooms | 4 Bedrooms | 5.5 Bathrooms | 5 Fireplaces | Approximate Square Footage: 4,372 Sq Ft

Ideally located on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 80th Street, this extraordinary and architecturally important 13-room pre-war duplex residence of rare provenance is being offered for the first time since the building was built in 1927, and remarkably with the original floor plan and details intact. Formerly on the site of the F.W. Woolworth Mansion, 990 Fifth Avenue, designed by Rosario Candela, the foremost architect of luxury pre-war apartment houses, consists of only six grand residences, five duplexes, and one penthouse triplex, offering unique intimacy, privacy, and exclusivity as well as the highest levels of service and security.

While the apartment needs a full renovation, it maintains the marvelous bones and details of Candela's original design. A private elevator landing opens into the apartment with its soaring 11 foot ceilings, and one enters the foyer from which all the entertaining rooms radiate. The grand corner and light-filled living room features antique parquet floors, exquisite moldings, a fireplace with a stunning marble mantle, and boasts breathtaking views of Central Park, Central Park West, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the midtown skyline. The inviting panelled library also has a wood-burning fireplace with marble mantle, as does the formal dining room, which has magnificent inlaid marble floors. A kitchen, butler's pantry, three staff rooms, and a bathroom complete this floor.

The exquisitely ornate and regal wrought-iron staircase with gold leaf accents leads to the private quarters upstairs. This floor has 9'4" ceilings and features an enormously grand corner Primary Bedroom Suite complete with a large dressing room, fireplace, and ensuite bath, which enjoys the same sensational light and views as the living room immediately below. Down the long corridor lined with walk-in closets are three large bedrooms, each with an ensuite bath, with one essentially serving as a Second Primary Suite with its own wood-burning fireplace and dressing area, which could also easily function as a study area.

This special residence has an extraordinary history. It was originally purchased by George Crawford in 1927, where he lived with his wife, Annie Laurie, and their daughter, Martha "Sunny" Sharp Crawford, the American heiress, who grew up in this apartment and went on to marry Prince Alfred von Auersperg of Austria and later Claus von Bülow. Sunny's mother, Annie Laurie, later married Russell Barnett Aitken, a celebrated ceramic sculptor, sportsman, author, and big game hunter. Together, they pursued their shared interests in houses, English and French furniture, arms and armor, and fine decoration, as well as many philanthropic causes. The Annie Laurie Aitken English Galleries and The Russell Barnett Aitken Arms and Armor Galleries, both at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, represent their generosity to that institution located across the street from their home. After nearly 30 years of marriage, Annie Laurie died in 1984. Years later, Russell Aitken married Irene Boyd Roosevelt, the widow of John Aspinwall Roosevelt, the youngest son of Eleanor and President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who lived in the apartment until her passing in the spring of 2025.

The proceeds from the sale of the apartment will be donated to the Frick Collection, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Morgan Library & Museum, continuing the tradition of cultural philanthropy embodied by its former residents.

A legacy apartment like this very rarely comes on the market and is an opportunity not to be missed.
