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.

Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sold Price | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | PH12 (Apartment) | 6 | $35,000,000 | September 23, 2021 | City record · MLS | 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**: $18,500,000 - **Median sold price**: $3,862,500 - **Difference**: +$14,637,500 (+379%) - **Comparable sales**: 31 - **Sales from**: September 2024 – June 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $2,975,000 – $5,175,000 Based on co-op four-bedroom sales in Upper East Side. Square footage is recorded for only 14 of these 31 sales (45%), 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**: 93.7% (29 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 79% (29 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 80 days (29 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 115 days (29 sales) Based on co-op four-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 four-bedroom sales in Upper East Side | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $6,431,250 | 15 | | 2018 | $5,600,000 | 13 | | 2019 | $5,200,000 | 15 | | 2021 | $3,238,500 | 19 | | 2022 | $5,475,000 | 24 | | 2024 | $3,200,000 | 19 | | 2025 | $4,225,000 | 18 | Based on recorded co-op four-bedroom sales in Upper East Side. Sales data through June 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.
