1 5th Avenue #2J

Location is everything—and this exceptional two-bedroom, two-bathroom home fronts the historic cobblestoned Washington Mews, a quaint enclave tucked within the heart of Greenwich Village. Built in 1927 and designed by noted architect Harvey Wiley Corbett, a progenitor of the Art Deco movement, One Fifth Avenue was originally conceived as a hotel for the well-heeled before its 1976 conversion to a cooperative, when it began attracting artists and creative luminaries. Residence 2J is distinguished by beautiful hardwood floors, large windows, and a split-bedroom layout that creates a private sanctuary. An expansive great room accommodates both living and dining with ease and captures picturesque southern views over the storybook charm of Washington Mews. The primary bedroom faces a quiet courtyard, creating a restful retreat, and includes an ensuite bath finished with classic subway tiling. The second bedroom, also overlooking the Mews, is generously proportioned to accommodate a king-size bed. A renovated second bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower is conveniently situated off the hall. The kitchen is efficient yet elegant, appointed with Viking and Miele appliances, an integrated refrigerator, streamlined cabinetry, and white quartz countertops. Central air conditioning provides the home with year-round comfort. Perfectly positioned just two blocks north of Washington Square Park and moments from downtown’s finest offerings, this notable residence provides the services of a full-time attentive staff, central laundry, private storage, and a resident’s lounge overlooking the grand lobby. Pets are welcome. A truly rare Gold Coast offering in one of the Village’s most desirable buildings. Advance notice is required for all showings and there is an ongoing assessment of $190.50.
