Museum Quality

Soaring ceilings, extraordinary prewar details, and vast proportions grace every room of Stanford White's 1912 architectural masterpiece at 998 Fifth Avenue. Opening to a 35 foot reception gallery with coffered ceilings and marble floors, this unique front-facing property offers twelve rooms of impeccable pre-war grace. The en suite dining room, living room and library each feature a wood burning fireplace and face out along Fifth Avenue, directly into the galleries of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The home's 3 bedrooms are separated by a private hallway off the main foyer. The corner master suite offers exposures to the south and west, two walk-in closets and two full baths. Each additional south facing bedroom possesses grand proportions and an en suite bath.

Off the gallery and entertaining spaces, the abundant eat-in chef's kitchen has extensive storage and cabinet space. The area behind the kitchen currently provides a staff suite and two large offices, in addition to a laundry area. The apartment has been modernized with central air conditioning and modern day appliances, and is simply and beautifully appointed to enhance its architectural qualities. This is a unique opportunity to own one of New York's grandest residences.
