Located within 998 Fifth Avenue, one of the Upper East Side’s most beautiful and distinguished cooperative buildings, this exceptional residence is one of just seventeen apartments in a landmark building designed by McKim, Mead & White. Expansive and spanning over 5,000 square feet, the apartment has been recently renovated by Julie Hillman, and the pleasing result has been featured in numerous publications. Systems throughout are state-of-the-art. This is a residence of rare sophistication, ideally suited to a discerning buyer with a taste for timeless elegance and refined living. The residence features delightfully sun-flooded interiors, ceilings soaring above 12 feet, two wood-burning fireplaces, and oversized French windows overlooking the fountains and iconic limestone façade of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as well as the trees lining Fifth Avenue. Uniquely, the residence offers two entrances: one through the building’s majestic interior lobby at 998 Fifth Avenue, and the other its own private entrance directly from Fifth Avenue, with its own distinct address: 999 Fifth Avenue. Entered from the 998 Fifth Avenue lobby, the residence opens to a gracious Foyer leading into a truly dramatic Gallery, which retains its handsome wood paneling, Tennessee marble floors, and carved plaster ceiling. Stretching nearly 33 feet in length, the Gallery sets the tone for the apartment’s extraordinary public rooms. It adjoins an immense Living Room, over 42 feet in length, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and framed by three large windows facing Fifth Avenue. Opening from the Living Room are two more intimate rooms, also overlooking Fifth Avenue: a sumptuous wood-paneled Library and a sunlight-drenched Den, the latter with its own wood-burning fireplace and en suite bath. Conveniently located off the Gallery are a Powder Room and multiple coat closets. A vast, fully-equipped chef’s eat-in Kitchen has been designed to support both grand entertaining as well as extremely comfortable daily life. There are two separate bedroom wings, both set off from the common rooms. On the southern side of the residence is an enormous Primary Bedroom Suite, with a large corner bedroom awash with southern and western sunlight, two bathrooms, and two large custom-fitted dressing rooms. On the northern side of the apartment are two additional bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, one with very ample closet space. A large laundry room is also located in this wing. Residents of 998 Fifth Avenue enjoy the highest level of service, security, and discretion. This white-glove cooperative, comprised of only 17 residences, offers a recently renovated state-of-the-art fitness center. The apartment also transfers with two sizable private storage rooms, as well as a separate large cold storage bin for wine. An architectural masterpiece, 998 Fifth Avenue was designed between 1910 and 1912 by William Richardson of McKim, Mead & White. At once palatial and understated, the building is crowned by a richly detailed copper cornice and frieze. Most notably, its stately entrance is protected by a remarkable fully glazed ironwork marquee, whose ornate detailing provides a striking contrast to the building’s limestone façade. Long considered a landmark in residential apartment living, 998 Fifth Avenue represents a standard of elegance that has often been aspired to, but rarely achieved. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Co-op - **Beds**: 3 - **Total Baths**: 6 - **Rooms**: 9 - **Sqft**: 5,025 sqft - **Stories**: 12 - **Year Built**: 1912 - **Price per Sqft**: $3,731 - **Common Charges**: $17,250 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Sep 25, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 3 Days ### Residence Features - Central Air - Building Washer Dryer Install Allowed - Common On Floor - Common Area - Building Courtyard - Dryer - Dishwasher - Washer - Hardwood - See Remarks ## Estimated Monthly Payment **$112,060 / month**, assuming a 20% down payment ($3,750,000), a 6.5% interest rate and a 30-year term.

Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Sold Price | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 6W (Apartment) | $37,500,000 | September 12, 2025 | City record | Every row is a recorded transaction, including ancillary spaces such as storage and staff rooms where they were sold separately. Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares - **This home**: $18,750,000 - **Median sold price**: $2,441,250 - **Difference**: +$16,308,750 (+668%) - **This home, $/ft²**: $3,731 - **Comparable sales**: 88 - **Sales from**: September 2024 – August 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $1,971,250 – $3,212,500 Based on co-op three-bedroom sales in Upper East Side. Square footage is recorded for only 20 of these 88 sales (23%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Co-op sales rarely carry a floor area, and a figure drawn from a handful of them would not describe the rest. This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Upper East Side instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sale-to-list price**: 96.5% (77 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 71% (77 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 60 days (82 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 105 days (82 sales) Based on co-op three-bedroom sales in Upper East Side with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. ### Price trend Median sale price, co-op three-bedroom sales in Upper East Side | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $2,990,000 | 37 | | 2018 | $2,250,000 | 40 | | 2019 | $2,089,500 | 36 | | 2020 | $1,985,000 | 27 | | 2021 | $2,003,666 | 59 | | 2022 | $2,120,000 | 75 | | 2023 | $2,100,000 | 45 | | 2024 | $2,125,000 | 38 | | 2025 | $2,237,500 | 51 | | 2026 YTD | $2,695,000 | 31 | Based on recorded co-op three-bedroom sales in Upper East Side. 2026 is year-to-date. Sales data through August 2026. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
