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.
