The Brevoort at 11 Fifth Ave. #5LW

Just one block from historic Washington Square Park and near the heart of Greenwich Village, this expansive home offers you a prime location in one of New York’s most desirable and fashionable neighborhoods. The classic Brevoort building also enjoys a reputation as one of New York’s best managed and best staffed coops.

Currently designed as an extra-large two-bedroom with two living rooms, this apartment was created by seamlessly joining two units. For those who desire to craft your own floor plan, it offers the remarkable potential to bring your architect and create your dream Greenwich village three-bedroom + home.

As you step into the welcoming foyer, you’re immediately struck by the apartment’s impressive scale and warmth. It encompasses more than 2100 square feet of living space. The oversized great room and dining area span nearly 40 feet, creating a rare open space bathed in natural light from the picturesque western exposure overlooking the treetops of Fifth Avenue. The spacious, windowed kitchen, equipped with a washer/dryer, can easily be redesigned into an open-concept layout with a convenient breakfast bar. This home is truly an elegant setting ideal for daily living and for hosting events.

The alternative floor plan shown in the listing illustrates the potential for redesign, should you be so inclined. The plan features a spacious primary suite with a large walk-in closet and a private en-suite bathroom. The remaining two generously sized bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned on the opposite end of the apartment, providing ideal separation of space. With sufficient space to include a home office, you have the flexibility to design a layout that perfectly suits your unique needs.

The Brevoort is positioned on lower Fifth Avenue between Washington Square Park and Union Square, one of the city’s most sought-after post-war co-ops. Amenities in this pet-friendly, elevator building include 24-hour doormen and porters and concierge service, a resident manager, a grand lobby with gardens, a convenient circular driveway, a lobby-level gym, a parking garage, a bike room, and on-site laundry. Two private storage units are assigned to this apartment.

The building has recently been upgraded with many eco-friendly green features including new windows, planted rooftops, and supplemental emergency power from a co-generator. Located on the Gold Coast of Greenwich Village, all the restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and cultural venues that make this one of the world’s most desirable residential enclaves are within just a few blocks. Public transportation is a breeze, with A/C/E, B/D/F/M, 4/5/6, N/Q/R, 1, and L trains all close by at the Union Square, West 4th Street, and Astor Place stations. Pieds-a-terre, washers/dryers, and parents purchasing for adult working children are permitted with board approval. Owners may have 1 dog or 2 cats. This is truly one of the most desirable addresses in downtown Manhattan.
