Description
Welcome home to Apartment 5F at the landmarked Wilbraham—a truly one-of-a-kind residence offering timeless charm in the heart of Manhattan’s dynamic NoMad neighborhood. This stylishly restored historic bachelor flat blends rich architectural details with modern-day comforts, making it a rare and inspiring find. The home features a handsome den, a convenient Pullman kitchen, and a spacious bathroom with a massive soaking tub—perfect for unwinding after a day in the city. The centerpiece is the stunning period-perfect main parlor, boasting 11’+ ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, restored mahogany woodwork, and towering 10’ windows overlooking iconic Fifth Avenue—a perfect perch to catch parades or simply enjoy the energy of this ever-evolving neighborhood. Originally constructed in 1890 as a bachelor apartment hotel for “professional men of means,” and enhanced in 1935 by noted architect Emery Roth, the Wilbraham is a landmarked gem with a dramatic, fully restored lobby that transports you back in time. Live just steps from Madison Square Park, the Empire State Building, Madison Square Garden, and Eataly—with quick access to Penn Station, the LIRR, NJ Path, and major subway lines (B, D, F, M, N, Q, R, W, 1, 2, 3). Surrounded by NoMad’s world-class dining, shopping, and wellness destinations—including hot yoga at ID Yoga on the 2nd floor, just three floors above—Unit 5F offers the ultimate mix of history, style, and unbeatable location. A rare opportunity for buyers who appreciate architecture, artistry, and the authentic old-school New York.
