43 Fifth Ave, PH-N

Nestled within the extravagant confines of 43 Fifth Avenue, this gorgeous convertible 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom penthouse is a coalescence of pre-war charm and modern comfort. Features of the nearly 2,000 sq. ft. home include beautiful hardwood floors, a see-through wood-burning fireplace, a separate laundry room, a 2-zone HVAC system, five skylights, and a host of convenient built-ins.

The home opens into a sky lit foyer that boasts a trio of closets and a powder room. From the foyer, the home flows into a cavernous, open-concept living room, dining room, and kitchen. The space is exposed to western and eastern light, has access to the fireplace, and possesses a pair of interesting columns that attest to the building’s Beaux Arts style. The kitchen is equipped with an eat-in island, clean white cabinetry, marble countertops, and a suite of high-end appliances.

Just off the living room lies an open den that originally served as the home’s third bedroom. It features its own skylight and is also in direct view of the fireplace. The second bedroom has northern exposure, a huge walk-in closet, and a fully renovated ensuite bathroom. It also has access to the home’s laundry room. The master suite possesses a wall of closets and an elegant ensuite bathroom that has dual-vanity sinks, a walk-in shower, and a separate tub.

Over a century old, 43 Fifth Avenue sits at the edge of Greenwich Village and Union Square. Built in the Beaux Arts style, it features a number of compelling architectural details that include wrought-iron gates, a dry moat, and an elaborate marble lobby. It is only a few blocks away from Washington Square Park, and is surrounded by droves of high-end restaurants and shops. While the building is attended by a full-time doorman, it has also been upgraded with a third-party virtual doorman system that alerts residents via text and email about packages, guests, and deliveries. Pets are welcome.
