Description
Fifth Avenue/Greenwich Village between Union Square and Washington Square Park: this home is like nothing else on the market. 40 Fifth Avenue offers a rare opportunity: a spacious 3 bedroom/ 2.5 bath home in the most prestigious Greenwich Village, white-glove, Pre-War doorman building.
This quiet, sunny two-level corner apartment feels like your own personal townhouse?and yet offers all of the services and amenities of a full-service building. With a flexible layout, the large space blends classic architectural elements with a unique, contemporary flair. A second private entrance complements the main entrance through the attended lobby. The dramatic two-story Living Room is complete with soaring 18-foot beamed ceilings, and a second story wrap-around atrium balcony lined with bookcases and three cozy window seats which invite you to curl up with your favorite book while enjoying the tree-lined view of Fifth Avenue.
The newly renovated kitchen features granite countertops, Woodcraft cabinets, a stone back-splash, and high-end stainless-steel appliances, as well as perfect window views of the beautifully designed garden. The sunny master bedroom features wainscoting, coffered ceilings and a charming gas fireplace (one of three), as well as abundant storage throughout and a separate windowed office, which also overlooks the private garden. Modern touches include three oversized walk-in closets, a Miele washer/dryer and recessed, track lighting with a Lutron lighting system.
The majestic 1929 building, designed by architects McKim, Mead & White, is just three blocks from historic Washington Square Park (south) and bustling Union Square Park (north), with its celebrated year-round Farmer?s Market, Trader Joe?s and Whole Foods.
40 Fifth Avenue is convenient to New York?s most exclusive shopping as well as the unique spirit of NOHO, SOHO and Tribeca (with eight Express Subways: 4,5,6, L, N, R, Q, W trains). It offers a vibrant only-in-New York mix of Greenwich Village/Union Square/Flatiron/Gramercy restaurants, shopping, culture and entertainment practically at your doorstep. There is simply nothing else like it on the market.
