1 Fifth Ave, 2-D

On Greenwich Village's "Gold Coast", stands the Art Deco icon One Fifth Avenue. Designed in 1927 by distinguished architect Harvey Willey Corbett, this landmark has been featured in films, photographs and paintings. The elegant brick and limestone faade is accented by detailed masonry. Its majestic silhouette forms a backdrop to the arch of Washington Square Park, one block away. The two story wood-paneled lobby, with its beautifully restored original columns, invites visitors into a rare lifestyle in which the creative energy and excitement of the Village combines with sought-after comforts and amenities for the fortunate New Yorkers who call One Fifth Avenue home. In this spacious corner apartment sunlight pours in from two exposures: North and West. One is inspired by the view of the Empire State Building from the living room, and the luxury of having Washington Square Park almost in your backyard. The apartment features a formal entryway, a gracious, open living and dining space, and two roomy split bedrooms, each with a generous closet and bath. The kitchen has new stainless steel appliances, subway tile, and crisp white Corian countertops. Suggestions on expanding the kitchen can be found on the alternate floorplan. Throughout the home, freshly refinished wood floors and upgraded fixtures complement furnishings of any design.One Fifth Avenue is one of Downtowns premiere full-service cooperatives, with a staff of full-time doormen and porters, as well as a resident superintendent. Additional conveniences include a bike room, central laundry and private storage. Pied-a-terres are allowed, as are pets.
