Property Description for 51 Fifth Ave, PH-B
Beautiful Penthouse apartment bathed in sunlight with three large terraces on two levels, and a spectacular large greenhouse pavilion. Built in 1929 atop one of Greenwich Village's most distinguished buildings on Lower Fifth Avenue's Gold Coast, this gracious 3 bedroom duplex was the home of a well-known New York artist and her family for the last 50 years. High ceilings throughout, a woodburning fireplace, detail dating back to the Jazz Age, and an authenticity that makes this an exceedingly rare offering. The apartment has beautifully scaled rooms, beamed ceilings, and classic panoramic village views from four exposures. A stone staircase leads up to a nearly 1000' greenhouse atelier, a permanent feature built in the 20's, with the potential to be an entertaining space, starlit living room, or studio. 51 Fifth Avenue is an elegant pre-war building featuring a full time doorman, live in super, two automatic elevators, bicycle storage and a gymnasium. Storage, when available, is in the basement. Pets are welcome and a 25% down payment is required. Pied-a-Terre purchases are also allowed.

Quick Profile
Birthplace of beatniks, Greenwich Village has always been a neighborhood bursting with creativity, home to artists, poets, musicians and writers. There is a lot of foot traffic in the neighborhood, as it gives convenient access to many other neighborhoods. There are a lot of popular eateries on MacDougal Street and bars on Bleecker Street. The neighborhood has a bit of a college-town feel, due to the presence of NYU. There aren’t large chain stores here, so it isn’t really a mecca for shopaholics, but you can find interesting vintage stores and specialty boutiques.
Available housing is centered on pre-war walk-ups. You can find good deals on the quieter, tree-lined side streets, as opposed to the bustling avenues. There are pockets of brownstones and townhouses, some dating back to the early 19th century, throughout the neighborhood, as well. You will find more luxurious housing in the newer high-rise buildings on Park and Fifth Avenues.
Washington Square Park is the heart of the neighborhood. If you sit near the Arch and close your eyes, you might catch an echo of the music and social history of the Park, floating through the air. Greats like Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and Paul Simon started their storied careers right here in Greenwich Village. Today, the Village is a celebration of diversity, where everyone is welcome.
