Property Description for 284 Fifth Ave, 5-F
His-Story
Welcome to Apt. 5F at the Wilbraham … A stylishly restored, historic bachelor apartment flat with a separate, sexy den, convenient Pullman kitchen, and spacious bath with huge soaking tub. The beautifully restored main parlor is framed with 10’ windows facing iconic Fifth Avenue, gleaming hardwood floors, and soaring 11’+ ceilings with original molding beautifully intact. The perfect perch to watch a parade heading down Fifth Avenue or take in the fascinating architecture and streetscape of this emerging and engaging neighborhood.
The Wilbraham, a NYC landmarked cooperative, was constructed “for professional men of means” as a bachelor apartment hotel in 1890. The atmospheric entrance and lobby were fully restored in 2019 and will transport you back in time whenever you enter or exit this special property. This unique, pet-friendly coop has a condo-like subletting policy and allows co-purchasing, guarantors, and purchases in an LLC or trust. A smartphone-compatible intercom system allows residents to buzz in guests and deliveries remotely. Additional storage, bike storage, a beautifully restored package room, and laundry facilities round out this lovely picture.
Located in the very heart of booming NoMad with its myriad of hip restaurants, shops, and markets, this historic home is only steps to Madison Square Park, Penn Station, the LIRR, NJ Path, and the B, D, F, M, N, Q, R, W, 1, 2 & 3 lines.
A rare opportunity for those who appreciate history, art, and design. Open house by appt only …
