Description

SOLD AND CLOSED. Spacious living overlooking the Park! Expansive sunny 3 (or 4) bedroom, 3 bath + library, multiple entertaining areas, and 2 private terraces, this sprawling home has a huge flexible layout with room to grow. Features include a true chefs eat-in kitchen with butlers pantry and southern views overlooking Washington Square Park - a rare opportunity to enjoy village living at its best with plenty of natural light at iconic Two Fifth Avenue.

Situated in the pre-war style faade of the building, this spacious home beckons with a gracious entry foyer leading into a sun-flooded great room, with open views overlooking Washington Square Park and lovely treetop vistas and the sound of birds chirping year round. Several large entertaining areas offer flex layout, and include a large dining room, multiple seating spaces, plus excellent gallery walls for art. The immense loft-like space connects to a generously proportioned library/media room which can be sectioned off by discreet pocket doors to create an additional 4th bedroom space if desired.

Your oversized eat-in kitchen offers a true chefs experience: Two distinct areas offer numerous marble prep stations, with tons of custom storage and a lovely breakfast bar for casual dining, and on the butler's pantry side enjoy a wine fridge, separate sink and secondary dishwasher. The main part kitchen area has tons of custom built-ins and pro appliances including a Wolf professional range with double oven, grille and griddle, a large SubZero freezer and fridge, Miele dishwasher and even a Miele steam "sous vide" oven, providing impressive options for your inner chef to create exciting dining options while entertaining at home.

The sleeping wing consists of three full bedrooms, with a master suite large enough to fit a king size bed, plus side tables and a separate sitting area. There is also a huge dressing room and a master bath with double sinks, stand up glass-enclosed shower and deep soaking tub. The 3rd full bedroom is currently configured as a spacious windowed office with two large desks and excellent custom shelving that could easily be converted back to a bright large true full bedroom, with easy to reinstate closets if needed. There is also a large utility room with immense Maytag Neptune washer and dryer, utility sink and additional storage closets.

Two large private terraces flank each side of the apartment, and overlook the park below offering southern exposure onto Washington Square, calm areas for reading, lounging or just listening to the birds. Located on the end of the hallway of the prewar style faade of the dual building, this home is in move-in ready condition, or can be tailored to further meet your specific needs. (Additional beds and bathrooms may be incorporated into the plan with approval).

Built in 1952 designed by the renowned Emery Roth & Sons, Two Fifth Avenue is a premier full-service cooperative with a stylish circular drive, well-appointed lobby with lending library and lounge, fitness center, bike room and laundry room. The building has a strong reserve fund, and common spaces are being renovated with no assessment. Enjoy a friendly 24/7 staff, live-in Super and warm caring full-time Building Manager. The building is pet friendly, and situated in the heart of prime Greenwich Village right at the arch where Fifth Avenue begins offers many perks, this is a truly delightful home not to be missed. 2% Flip.
