Description

Welcome to Unit 5C, a flawlessly renovated two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence in a premier full-service prewar cooperative on Greenwich Village’s coveted Gold Coast. Bathed in glorious natural light, this exceptional home pairs striking architectural character with a sophisticated renovation, gracious proportions, and beautifully customized storage throughout. At the heart of the residence is a dramatic sunken living room, anchored by an impressive wood-burning fireplace. Large windows, soaring ceiling height, beautifully stained hardwood floors, and the original handsome iron railing surrounding the dining bay give the space exceptional scale and architectural presence. Just off the living room, a versatile bonus room offers additional storage or can easily serve as a meditation retreat, reading nook, or creative space. Just above, a generous separate dining area provides an elegant setting for both everyday living and entertaining. Overlooking the living room, the windowed eat-in chef’s kitchen is exceptionally well appointed, with Caesarstone countertops, a built-in banquette, and top-of-the-line appliances. Thoughtfully designed for both cooking and gathering, the kitchen is complemented by a European-style washer/dryer discreetly incorporated into the home. The serene bedroom wing includes a spacious corner primary bedroom with open city views to the north and east, glorious natural light, customized closet space, and a beautifully renovated windowed en-suite bath with marble accents and a large stall shower. The second bedroom also enjoys wonderful light, open city views, electric shades, and a generous closet. Just outside is a beautifully finished second full bathroom. Central air conditioning, custom shelving, extensive storage, and thoughtful detailing throughout further enhance the comfort and functionality of this meticulously renovated home. Built in 1929 and converted to a cooperative in 1988, 51 Fifth Avenue is one of Greenwich Village’s premier full-service prewar buildings. Residents enjoy a full-time doorman, live-in resident manager, central laundry room, fitness room, private storage, and bicycle storage, all in an exceptional Lower Fifth Avenue location at the heart of Greenwich Village.
