Building: 1107 Fifth Avenue

1107 Fifth Avenue is located on the southeast corner of 92nd Street and is one of the grandest prewar apartments on Fifth Avenue. Built in 1925 by the George Fuller Company and designed by W.K. Rouse and L.A. Gladstone, this fourteen-story building was constructed after Mr. Fuller convinced Marjorie Merriweather Post Hutton to sell her mansion which occupied the site. In return, Mr. Fuller agreed to essentially recreate her former home on the top three floors of the new building. The result was a spectacular 54-room triplex penthouse with a private entrance at 2 East 92nd Street Mrs. Hutton’s apartment was later described by architectural historian Andrew Alpern as “certainly the largest and very possibly the most luxurious apartment ever created anywhere.” The apartment was subsequently divided into six nine-room apartments.

1107 Fifth Avenue is one of the most elegant addresses in Manhattan. There is a 2% transfer tax paid by the buyer. Financing is permitted up to $1,000,000.
