907 Fifth Ave. #8E

907 FIFTH AVENUE, 8E – 12 ROOMS
Elegance defines this grand apartment which faces north onto 72nd Street. Apartment 8E is one of three separate homes in 907 Fifth Avenue owned by the late Huguette M. Clark, the copper heiress who died at the age of 104 in May, 2011.The extraordinary windowed gallery, 47 feet by 13 feet, with beautiful herringbone floors, opens to the 29 foot corner living room; the library; the reception room and the formal dining room. All rooms are generously proportioned and flooded with light through enormous windows. The ceilings are high; the walls are expansive and in great condition – an art collector’s dream. A second master bedroom in addition to the two bedroom master suite is a possibility, as is a huge designer kitchen. Designed by J.E.R. Carpenter, built in 1915 and winner of the 1916 gold medal of the American Institute of Architects, 907 Fifth Avenue is an Italian palazzo style building with limestone facing. Its commanding location on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 72nd Street across from the entrance to Central Park is highly coveted.
