Description
Located on Greenwich Village’s coveted Gold Coast, Residence 12C at 39 Fifth Avenue is an elegantly renovated one-bedroom home that blends timeless prewar character with modern comfort. Designed by renowned architect Emery Roth and developed by Bing & Bing in 1922, this distinguished cooperative features a Spanish Renaissance–inspired façade and an exceptional location on Lower Fifth Avenue between 10th and 11th Streets. Perched on a high floor, the residence enjoys oversized east-facing windows from both the living room and primary bedroom with expansive views over the Village skyline. Warm natural light fills the apartment throughout the day. A gracious entrance foyer with two large closets opens into an expansive living room with high ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace, offering an inviting setting for entertaining or quiet relaxation. Every detail has been considered in this thoughtful renovation. Beautiful new hardwood floors, custom lighting and closets preserve the home’s classic architectural charm while bringing it to the modern era. The renovated windowed kitchen features handsome wood cabinetry with glass fronts, premium appliances including a Viking range, SubZero refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher, ample storage, and an efficient layout. The generously proportioned bedroom shares the living room’s striking eastern exposure and open views, with ample space for a sitting area or home office. The windowed bathroom is appointed with a spacious marble walk-in shower, and exceptional storage includes a beautifully outfitted, oversized walk-in closet and multiple additional closets throughout. 39 Fifth Avenue is an intimate, full-service cooperative offering a 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, individual storage units, central laundry, and bicycle storage. Pied-à-terre ownership, pets, and in-unit washer/dryers are permitted, subject to board approval. A 2% flip tax is due at closing. Moments from Washington Square Park, the tree-lined streets of the West Village, and some of downtown’s finest dining, shopping, and cultural destinations, Residence 12C offers a gracious retreat in one of New York City’s most sought-after neighborhoods.

Broker Commission Disclosure: Broker commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable.
How working with a buyer's agent works: I work for you, not the seller. Before I show you anything, New York brokerage rules ask us to put that in writing: an agreement and a disclosure that say I work for you and negotiate on your behalf. The agreement is non-exclusive: you can work with other agents, it runs for a short fixed term we agree on, and you can end it with a note. You may attend open houses independently without an agreement. Read how it works
