We’re delighted to present the rarest of the rare: a prewar penthouse at 51 Fifth Avenue with extraordinary outdoor space of staggering proportions.

We’re delighted to present the rarest of the rare: a prewar penthouse at 51 Fifth Avenue with extraordinary outdoor space of staggering proportions. An apartment of this ilk and exclusivity is almost never seen outside of post-war buildings; residence #PHA is a true treasure, one you won’t want to pass up.

Completely gut-renovated from head to toe and perched atop one of the Gold Coast’s elite prewar co-ops, this 3BR/3BA sponsor unit offers an abundance of indescribably distinct perks, headlined by the spellbinding wrap-around terrace (approximately 1,500 square feet) with an outdoor kitchen, complete with absolute black granite countertops, built-in gas grill and under-the-counter entertaining fridge and offering access from nearly every room in the apartment. Spellbinding city views and endless light flood the senses from every direction, inside and out, via triple exposure; a fluid layout includes a spacious living room with wood-burning fireplace and built-in bookshelves, and a master suite with stunning vistas and three closets. Both of the secondary bedrooms have plenty of space and access to their own bathrooms, and are conveniently split from the master for optimal privacy.

The open kitchen features a Viking appliance package (range and electric oven; dishwasher; refrigerator; microwave), Kohler fixtures, Caesarstone Rugged Concrete countertops and matte white millwork panels. The windowed master bath comes equipped with a double sink, rain shower, Montagna D’Argento stone, Carrarra walls and porcelain tile floor; the secondary bathrooms are also beautifully appointed with elegance and class. Other goodies include central A/C, Whirlpool side-by-side W/D, hardwood floors and an additional large balcony off the kitchen for optimal ventilation.

Located in the heart of Greenwich Village on the corner of 12th Street and 5th Avenue, 51 Fifth is a historically significant architectural gem built in 1929 and boasts a 24-hour doorman, live-in super and small fitness center in the basement. Every train you could ever ask for is within a quarter-of-a-mile of your front door and the Village’s treasure trove of restaurants, shopping and cultural landmarks will surround you at all times. Please note that since this is a sponsor unit, there are no board restrictions on how long you can reside here; 2-year leases are, in fact, preferred. Don’t throw away your shot at a true showstopper in every sense of the word. Contact us today to arrange your private tour. NOTE: photos are virtually staged to help provide scale.
