The sun-flooded formal living room boasts a wall of windows with Southern exposures overlooking the Frick Museum and side views of Central Park. A decorative fireplace, high ceilings, and custom crown moldings complement the home's refined design.

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.
