The sun-flooded formal living room boasts a wall of windows with Southern exposures overlooking the Frick Museum and side views of Central Park.

The residence offers three bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, plus an additional half-bath for guests. The oversize primary bedroom boasts picturesque views of the Frick Museum with southern and eastern exposures, an en-suite bath with a glass enclosed walk-in shower and an adjacent vanity area, and abundant storage space including a large walk-in closet and a full wall of custom closets. The king-sized, corner second bedroom suite has two large closets and exposures to the North and East. A third bedroom easily functions as a charming guest room, staff room, or home office. 3C also features a brand new full size washer and dryer. 900 Fifth Avenue was designed in 1960 by architect Sylvan Bien, known for his mid-century modern residential buildings throughout the Upper East Side. Other works include 860 Fifth (1950), 923 Fifth (1951), and 605 Park (1954). Earlier in his career, Sylvan Bien designed the elegant Hotel Carlyle (1930), and accompanying Carlyle Apartments (1931). Robert, his son, became a partner in his father's firm in 1950, and shares credit for the mid-century work. Enviably positioned at the corner of E. 71st Street and Fifth Avenue, 900 Fifth is across the street from both Central Park and the Gilded Age mansion built by Industrialist Henry Clay Frick. Apartment 3C directly overlooks the grand architecture and outdoor gardens of the landmarked Frick Collection Museum and Library, and the entire area is part of the Upper East Side Historic District. The building's original lobby was redesigned by AD100 Designer Juan Montoya in rich exotic woods, lacquer, and polished stone. Highly professional staff, 24/7 attended lobby, and live-in Manager. Monthly maintenance includes utilities. Amenities include a top floor fitness center overlooking Central park, two roof terraces with amazing 360-degree views, a bike room, and garage.
