40 Fifth Ave. #2D

Presenting a rare opportunity to own in downtown’s most prestigious address. The beautifully scaled rooms in this classic apartment combine traditional elegance with modern amenities. The generous living room with a wood burning fireplace and herringbone oak floors offers vistas through the trees to Fifth Avenue’s historic First Presbyterian Church. A windowed kitchen has been totally redesigned and rebuilt with marble counters and back splashes, but retains the pre-war look with classic custom cabinetry and traditional hardware. The upholstered built-in banquet and expandable table make this eat-in-kitchen practical as well as comfortable. This meticulous owner has thought of everything you need – even the cat has his own private quarters! Both bedrooms have en suite bathrooms with most of the original fixtures and fittings intact. The apartment comes with a very large private basement storage room.
40 Fifth Avenue, built in 1929, is Greenwich Village’s most prestigious white gloved coop and is intimately scaled with 75 apartments on 17 floors. The lobby harkens back to the city’s Gilded Age with French doors, marble floors and walls covered in murals, all opening onto a lushly landscaped courtyard. A highly attentive and experienced staff including full service doormen and elevator operators epitomize the lifestyle: quiet and gracious Village living on the Gold Coast. PET FRIENDLY TOO!
