Greenwich Village Gold Coast Pre-War Gem - A Reimagined Classic 6
Discover an extraordinary opportunity to own a sophisticated 2-bedroom plus office, 2-bathroom residence at 51 Fifth Avenue- a full-service, pre-war cooperative nestled in the heart of Greenwich Village. Thoughtfully redesigned by internationally acclaimed theater critic and scholar Elinor Fuchs, this home radiates elegance, seamlessly blending timeless charm with modern convenience.Upon entry, a striking wood-paneled gallery lined with custom bookshelves and recessed lighting sets an intimate yet open tone, leading into a spacious living room. Beamed ceilings throughout add architectural character, while custom built-in storage maximizes space without compromising design.
A serene private office, featuring custom built-ins and three windows, provides a perfect retreat for work or relaxation, offering stunning western views of the iconic First Presbyterian Church.
Ideal for entertaining, the formal dining room-accessible through an integrated pocket door-leads to a generously sized, windowed kitchen equipped with custom cabinetry, a Wolf induction oven, a Bosch dishwasher, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator-a true chef's haven.
The private bedroom wing includes an expansive primary suite with a massive walk-in closet offering exceptional storage capacity, complemented by an en-suite bath adorned with Penny Round Bianco Ceramic Mosaic tiling and the convenience of an in-unit washer and dryer. The second bedroom features two charming tree-lined windows and a built-out closet. It is conveniently adjacent to a fully renovated bathroom.
Built in 1929 and designed by Thomas W. Lamb-celebrated for his iconic theaters and cinemas, 51 Fifth Avenue offers a 24-hour doorman, a resident manager, a fitness center, and additional storage bins. The building is pet-friendly and permits co-purchasing and pied-a-terre ownership.
With thoughtfully integrated built-ins and discreet storage solutions at every turn, this residence is as functional as it is beautiful-a classic reimagined for contemporary living in one of Manhattan's most coveted neighborhoods. Located near Washington Square Park, NYU, The New School, Cardozo Law School, and Union Square.
