Description

Situated in the prestigious Gold Coast Historic District of Greenwich Village, this remarkable two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence exudes historical charm and sophistication.

Upon entry, you're greeted by a welcoming foyer that leads into a spacious living room and a bright dining area illuminated by natural light streaming through the bay windows facing south towards 12th Street. Continue down the hallway to discover a private wing housing two generously-sized bedrooms, offering serene views of the tranquil back courtyard for restful nights. The primary bedroom boasts three ample closets and an en-suite bath.

Although we've meticulously upgraded the subflooring and introduced brand-new oak floors, there is ample potential for personalization. Collaborate with your contractor to create your ideal kitchen and bathrooms. Please note that washer and dryer installations are not allowed in the apartment.
The building itself is a masterpiece, featuring iconic deep bay windows, a historic brown-brick facade, and a unique floor plan providing street views on one side and scenic inner gardens with fountains on the other.

The Butterfield House, designed by renowned architects Mayer, Whittlesey, and Glass and established as a cooperative in 1962, stands as one of Greenwich Village's most distinguished landmarks. Residents here enjoy access to an architecturally significant garden and lobby, a dedicated doorman, a state-of-the-art fitness facility, a bike room, a garage, storage facilities, and a central laundry room. The location is unbeatable, positioned in the heart of lower Fifth Avenue and Gold Coast Greenwich Village, with convenient proximity to transportation, the Union Square Farmers Market, Whole Foods, and Citarella. Please note a 2% flip tax is payable by the purchaser. This is your opportunity to own a piece of history in the heart of Greenwich Village's prestigious Gold Coast.
