About This Property

A rare Greenwich Village offering, Apartment 12M at prestigious 2 Fifth Avenue is truly more than a two-bedroom home. With two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a generous formal dining room, soaring ceilings, and spectacular open views from every window, this beautifully renovated Gold Coast residence offers an exceptional combination of elegance, light, and versatility.

Bathed in glorious natural light, the apartment enjoys a wonderful eastern exposure for invigorating morning sunshine and western exposure for breathtaking, colorful sunsets. Its sought-after high ceilings, bleached wood plank floors, and thoughtfully designed lighting create an inviting sense of space throughout. An alternate floor plan illustrates the apartment's versatility and its ability to be converted back to its original three-bedroom configuration.

The impeccably renovated kitchen, designed by the renowned architectural firm Mullman Seidman, combines sophisticated design with exceptional functionality. Features include natural honed slate countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, including a Liebherr refrigerator, commercial-grade Jenn-Air stove, and Bosch dishwasher, along with a comfortable eat-in area.

The two generously proportioned, split bedrooms provide excellent privacy. Both full bathrooms feature custom vanities and thoughtful storage. Additional highlights include custom closets, cedar-lined storage, built-in cabinetry, tray lighting throughout, and the convenience of an in-apartment washer and dryer.

2 Fifth Avenue is one of Greenwich Village's most distinguished full-service, white-glove cooperatives, ideally situated in the heart of the Gold Coast. Residents enjoy an exceptional array of amenities, including a fully equipped gym, adult lounge, children's playroom, private shareholders' library, storage bins, bicycle room, and on-site dry cleaning. A circular driveway provides a gracious arrival, while the building's garage has parking availability.

Pied-à-terres, pets, and co-purchasing are permitted.

With its extraordinary light, fabulous open views, beautifully renovated interiors, generous entertaining space, and the rare flexibility of a potential third bedroom, Apartment 12M offers a truly special opportunity to call one of New York City's most iconic addresses home.

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales LLC.

Two Fifth Avenue is a 20-story elevator cooperative with 343 units, built in 1952 and sitting inside the Greenwich Village Historic District. The building has a concierge, on-site management, a gym, a resident lounge, a game room, cold storage, a bike room, garage parking and laundry in the building.

Apartment 12M is 1,400 square feet with two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The bedrooms are split, which the listing presents as privacy between them, and I think that matters more in a two-bedroom than people expect. There's also a formal dining room and high ceilings, which give the rooms more volume and more ways to furnish them.

The kitchen was designed by Mullman Seidman and has natural honed slate countertops, a Liebherr refrigerator, a commercial-grade Jenn-Air stove and a Bosch dishwasher. The eat-in area means everyday meals don't have to take over the dining room.

The apartment faces east and west, so you get morning light from one side and evening light from the other. On an open horizon, an east-facing window in June can catch direct sun from about 5:49 AM to 12:44 PM, and a west-facing window from about 1:11 PM to 8:07 PM. Nearby buildings can block it.

Storage is built into the apartment, with custom closets, cedar-lined storage and built-in cabinetry, and both full bathrooms have custom vanities with storage. The washer and dryer are in the apartment, so laundry doesn't depend on the building's shared room. The building has an elevator, which helps with groceries and moving furniture.

Washington Square Park is a walk of about a minute, which makes it an easy place to start a morning. The W 4 St-Wash Sq station is about five minutes on foot, with service on lines A, B, C, D, E, F and M, and Gristedes is about three minutes away. Because this is a co-op, the purchase goes through board review, and your broker or an attorney can explain what that involves for this building.
