41 5TH Avenue #16A

This rare high floor residence is located atop a premier Rosario Candela building on Lower Fifth Avenue and features a gracious 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath layout with light-filled rooms and charming old world details that capture the true spirit and essence of old New York. A classically proportioned entrance foyer leads to a sun-drenched Living/Dining room with high ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, custom bookshelves, and open views overlooking the surrounding landmarked architecture and church spires of historic Greenwich Village. The bright windowed eat-in-kitchen is fully updated and features abundant custom cabinetry and 2 separate pantry closets. Beyond the living room, a private hallway leads to 2 bedrooms and a fully renovated bathroom. The spacious Primary bedroom is bathed in afternoon light and offers 2 large closets, a wall of custom-milled cabinetry, and wonderful views overlooking Fifth Avenue. The Guest bedroom is equally spacious and offers bright east exposures and pin-drop quiet privacy. There is an overall sense of peace and tranquility throughout the home which is complimented by its prewar provenance and "Gold Coast" location. Built in 1923 and converted to cooperative in 1985, the building features a part-time doorman (4PM - Midnight), 24-hour elevator-operator, live-in superintendent, central laundry room, and a lovely common roof garden with spectacular city views. And of course there's the location, putting you right in the heart of Greenwich Village with its quaint architecture, pretty tree-lined streets, abundant restaurants, shopping, and all modes of public transportation right at your doorstep. Absolutely perfect!
