Property Description for 2 Fifth Ave, 55

Stunning Greenwich Village Gold Coast duplex overlooking Washington Square Park. This exceptional property is unlike any other, boasting a massive, lushly-planted roof terrace with breathtaking views of the park and cityscape. What appears to be a small cottage on the terrace houses a 12'5" x 19'5" room with 10'5" ceilings. South-facing french doors, topped by a row of transom windows, admit bountiful sunlight. Currently used as an office, this marvelous aerie would make an equally special den or bedroom. The rest of the interior is equally impressive, with a spacious living room and a primary bedroom that both look directly onto the iconic park. A terrace off the living room, also overlooking the park, offers even more space for outdoor enjoyment. There is a separate dining room, washer/dryer, and excellent closet and storage space. The property features charming Greenwich Village views from nearly every room, including of MacDougal Alley, and three exposures that bathe the home in natural light. 2 5th Ave is a full-service, white glove, pet-friendly co-operative designed by Emery Roth and Sons and built in 1952. While 2 5th is recognized for its two white brick towers, the apartment is located on the top floor of a five story red brick portion of the building that runs along Washington Square North. It was designed to blend in with the red brick townhouses that line that side of the square at the behest of developer Robert Moses. Residents of 2 5th enjoy the rare luxury of a private driveway. The building offers a host of other amenities, including a fitness center, on-site management, a live-in building manager, package room, storage, bike storage, residents' lounge, children's playroom, garage, on-site valet, and library. Pied-a-terres, co-purchasing, gifting allowed with board approval. 2% Flip Tax paid by purchaser. This prime location is close to many subway and bus lines, CitiBike stations, schools, parks, and all the best that downtown has to offer. 2 Fifth is currently zoned for PS 41. Don't miss your chance to experience luxurious city living at its finest. Showings by appointment only.

Greenwich Village | Manhattan

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.
