Description
Perched atop the 17th floor of one Gold Coast's elite pre-war Co-ops sits this complete gem of a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home boasting endless views and an abundance of natural light throughout the day. Offered for the first time in over 50 years, 17A is the highest A-line available at 51 Fifth Avenue. This Classic Five home is a corner unit and is coveted for its gracious layout framed with oversized casement windows in every room. Enjoy spectacular western and southern unobstructed views overlooking the iconic Village landmarks of Fifth Avenue including the historic gothic revival First Presbyterian church built in 1846. Sunsets are picturesque as open western views stretch beyond the Hudson River as you see cruise ships pass by. Enter 17A and you are greeted by a large formal gallery which leads you to the bright and airy living area with a wood burning fireplace. The kitchen has a walk-in pantry, convenient service entrance and a south facing window allowing light to pour in all day. The formal dining area easily fits 8 and could be converted to a 3rd bedroom. The home's 2 large bedrooms each have corner windows and both bathrooms have windows, as well. The home also features original hardwood floors in wonderful condition, elegant moldings, and ample closet space throughout. The home is in near original condition, so this is the perfect opportunity to bring your architect and create your dream Greenwich Village home. This home would be wonderful renovated in its exiting classic layout or reimagined to suit you for its second century on this timeless corner of New York at Fifth Avenue and East 12th Street. 51 Fifth Avenue is a premier full-service building built in 1929 and converted to a cooperative in 1988. It offers its residents an elegant lobby, full-time doorman, live-in resident manager, newly renovated gym, basement storage lockers, and a bike room. Pied-a-terre's, co-purchasing and gifting are allowed on a case-by-case basis. Pets are welcome.
