980 5Th Ave

Completed in the late 1960s, this 25-story, post‑war cooperative on Fifth Avenue presents a formal, white‑glove apartment house with restrained mid‑century proportions and classical interior finishes. The building contains only forty‑five residences with typically expansive three‑bedroom floorplans, arranged at just two apartments per floor, and several larger multi-room corner homes and duplexes. A semi‑private elevator landing opens into generous entrance galleries that lead to formal living and dining rooms, libraries that can convert to bedrooms, windowed eat‑in kitchens with adjacent pantries and laundry rooms, and staff suites. Interiors often feature oversized picture windows, herringbone or Versailles wood floors, crown moldings, custom closets and marble baths; many upper‑floor units frame sweeping west and south vistas across Central Park. Common areas and services emphasize full‑service hospitality: full‑time doorman, concierge, live‑in resident manager, individual storage lockers, and a porte‑cochere circular driveway. Building amenities include an on‑site garage with discounted shareholder parking and a recently renovated rooftop observatory/roof deck with park and skyline views. Pet and pied‑a‑terre policies vary by offering; the co‑op maintains resale restrictions including a flip tax and historically limited financing terms. Located on Museum Mile, the property sits steps from Central Park and cultural institutions, offering a highly serviced, museum‑adjacent Upper East Side lifestyle.
