Description

New to market is this impeccably renovated 2-bedroom (flexible 3-bedroom) coop, offering understated elegance with timeless pre-war details in the heart of Greenwich Village. Located in a full-service coop on the corner of 12th Street and Fifth Avenue in Greenwich Village?s Gold Coast, apartment 2A is a beautifully renovated home that accommodates modern living while maintaining its classic charm. The living room faces west with two large windows overlooking Fifth Avenue and the First Presbyterian Church. Windows throughout the building were recently upgraded, providing improved soundproofing and thermal properties, while custom window treatments provide an added touch of comfort and luxury. Other features include custom track lighting installed across elegant beamed ceilings, as well as handset oak flooring throughout. Connecting seamlessly with the Living Room is a handsome Dining Room with custom shelving and two large windows. This generously proportioned space is large enough to be converted into a third bedroom. Enclosed from the living/entertaining spaces is a windowed galley kitchen which was just renovated, boasting custom wood cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops, Grohe faucet, tile backsplash, and modern stainless steel appliances including a Liebherr refrigerator, GE Profile oven and cooktop, Bosch dishwasher, and a full-size stacked Miele Washer & Dryer. The custom storage system makes a perfect kitchen even the most discerning of chefs. A most unique feature is the wall-mounted ductless split system AC units that are installed throughout the home including the kitchen, dining/living room, home office, master bedroom, and secondary bedroom. This allows individual temperature control in each room. Entertaining and living quarters are divided by a dedicated and well-appointed home office that features a built-in desk, bookshelves, and two large cabinets for storage, ideal for your work from home needs. The Master Suite has two large west-facing windows, a collection of closets with custom storage systems, and a tastefully renovated ensuite windowed bathroom with a brand new bathtub, rainfall Hansgrohe shower head, Rohl tap-ware, polished chrome hardware, new vanity with under counter storage, and Porcelanosa tiles. The quiet second bedroom, almost equal in size to the master suite, contains a windowed en-suite bathroom and generous closet. One of lower Fifth Avenue?s premier Co-ops, 51 Fifth Avenue is ideally located within Greenwich Village, at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and East 12th Street. Built in 1929 and converted to a cooperative in 1988, the building rises 16 stories and has 89 apartments. The exterior of the building is accented by a limestone base and ornate pre-war detailing, while the interior provides a sense of old world charm with high beamed ceilings, wood-burning fireplaces, and other classic details. Building amenities include a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, gym, storage, laundry in building, bike room, and is pet friendly.
