907 Fifth Avenue   Unit 8W

Butterfield 8 - the exchange number found on the old dial telephone - sets the tone for what this apartment represents: timeless grace; high style and prime location. Apartment 8W 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. With over 100 feet of frontage on Fifth Avenue; expansive views above the trees of Central Park through 9 enormous windows; a grand 37 foot paneled gallery; 10 rooms and a flexible layout, this residence is truly unique. The coveted location on 72nd Street across from the Inventor's Gate into Central Park adds to its allure. Please bring your architect and your vision in order to imagine this diamond in the rough brought up to date for life in the 21st century. 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.
