990 Fifth Avenue, Rezidans 8/9
13 Chanm | 4 Chanm Dòmi | 5.5 Twalèt | 5 Chemine

Ideyalman yo sitiye nan kwen Fifth Avenue ak 80th Street, sa a rezidans duplex 13-chanm ki gen yon enpòtans achitekti ekstraòdinè e ki gen orijin ra ap ofri pou premye fwa depi batiman an te konstwi an 1927, epi remakabman ak plan etaj ak detay orijinal yo entak. Anvan, sou sit F.W. Woolworth Mansion, 990 Fifth Avenue, ki fèt pa Rosario Candela, pi gwo achitèk kay apatman liks pre-guerre yo, gen sèlman sis rezidans grand, senk duplex, ak yon triplex penthouse, ki ofri entimite inik, vi prive, ak eksklizivite, osi byen ke pi wo nivo sèvis ak sekirite.

Pandansetan apatman an bezwen yon renouvèlman konplè, li kenbe zo ak detay etonan nan desen orijinal Candela a. Yon aterrissage asansè prive louvri nan apatman an ak plafon ki rive 11 pye, epi yon antre ki mennen nan tout chanm antouzyas yo. Grand kwen ak salon ki plen ak limyè a prezante planche parquet antik, modèl ekskiz, yon chemine ak yon mantèl an mab epoustouflan, e li ofri yon panorama ki koupe sou Central Park, Central Park West, Metropolitan Museum of Art, ak skyline Midtown. Bibliyotèk ki envite a gen plaky ki an bwa ak yon chemine ki gen mantèl an mab, tout tankou sal manje fòmèl la, ki gen planche mab an krue. Yon kwizin, pantry majordòm, twa chanm pèsonèl, ak yon twalèt konplete etaj sa a.

Eskaliers an fè ki trè orne ak aksan an lò mennen nan katye prive ki anwo a. Etaj sa a gen plafon 9'4" ak karakteristik yon Master Bedroom Suite ki an gran kwen, ak yon gwo chanm pou abiman, chemine, ak twalèt an suite, ki jwi menm limyè ak vi sansasyonèl yo kòm salon ki nan anba a. Desann nan long koridò ki gen klòz ki mache nan, gen twa gwo chanm dòmi, chak ak yon twalèt an suite, ak youn ki esansyèlman sèvi kòm yon Dezyèm Master Suite ak pwòp chemine ki sèvi ak bwa ak zòn abiman, ki ta ka tou fasil sèvi kòm yon zòn etid.

Rezidans espesyal sa a gen yon istwa ekstraòdinè. Li te achte orijinalman pa George Crawford an 1927, kote li te viv ak madanm li, Annie Laurie, ak pitit fi yo, Martha "Sunny" Sharp Crawford, eris ameriken an, ki te grandi nan apatman sa a epi ki te marye ak Prens Alfred von Auersperg nan Otrich ak pita Claus von Bülow. Manman Sunny a, Annie Laurie, pita marye ak Russell Barnett Aitken, yon skiltè seramik selebre, espò, otè, ak chèchè jwèt gwo. Ansanm, yo te pouswiv enterè yo pataje nan kay, mèb Angle ak Franse, zam ak zam defans, ak bèl dekorasyon, osi byen ke anpil koz filantwopik. Annie Laurie Aitken English Galleries ak Russell Barnett Aitken Arms and Armor Galleries, tou de nan Metropolitan Museum of Art, reprezante jenewozite yo pou enstitisyon sa a ki sitiye atravè lari a soti nan kay yo. Apre prèske 30 ane maryaj, Annie Laurie te mouri an 1984. Ane pita, Russell Aitken te marye ak Irene Boyd Roosevelt, veuve John Aspinwall Roosevelt, pitit gason ki pi piti Eleanor ak Prezidan Franklin D. Roosevelt, ki te viv nan apatman an jouk li te mouri nan prim sezon 2025.

Revni yo nan vann apatman an ap donnen nan Frick Collection, Metropolitan Museum of Art ak Morgan Library & Museum, k ap kontinye tradisyon filantwopik kiltirèl ki te enkarné pa ansyen rezidan yo.

Yon apatman eritaj konsa raman vini sou mache a e se yon opòtinite ki pa dwe rate.

990 Fifth Avenue, Residence 8/9
13 Rooms | 4 Bedrooms | 5.5 Bathrooms | 5 Fireplaces

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.
