Welcome to this truly one-of-a-kind, full-floor penthouse loft, featuring soaring 12’ ceilings, a skylight, and a wood-burning fireplace, rich in detail and awash in natural light, perched atop a quintessential Greenwich Village townhouse along Fifth Avenue’s Gold Coast. Enjoy the charm of an historic townhouse and the cool factor of an illustrious downtown loft. A thoughtful renovation is coupled with copious original details and custom features including soaring beamed ceilings, whitewashed exposed brick, two ravishing marble fireplaces, a farmhouse sink, decadent custom lighting, and double-height casement windows. As one steps into the expansive great room, they are immediately swept by the grandiosity of the lofty ceilings—and true volume of the space—and greeted by gleaming sunlight through three stately 9’ windows. Accented by a charismatic marble, wood-burning fireplace and custom built ins, it seamlessly blends with the open chef’s kitchen, complete with fashionable stainless steel countertops, a wonderful farmhouse sink, and an integrated suite of appliances including a Subzero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, and gas range. The essence of peaceful luxury, the south-facing bedrooms are pin-drop quiet and bathed in natural light throughout the day. The primary bedroom is graced with a lovely decorative fireplace and a fully customized walk-in closet. Both bedrooms feature the original ceiling beams and whitewashed exposed brick and the renovated bathroom offers a marble vanity, a soaking tub, and abundant storage. Brimming with both personality and functionality, the residence is also adorned with ample additional closet space, a stacked washer/dryer, custom lighting fixtures, pristine strip flooring, and through-the-wall AC. There is also an opportunity to comfortably add a third bedroom (see alternate floor plan). The co-op has a storied history, rooted in the folk and Beatnik movements of the 50s and 60s and, today, features a Butterfly virtual doorman system and this unit has an affiliated private storage space. Located on one of downtown Manhattan’s most coveted blocks within what is truly The Quintessential New York Neighborhood, abundant with world-class dining, outdoor cafes, artisanal shops and farmer’s markets, and lush greenery on every block. It is brimming with both rich history and authentic personality, charming townhouses and carriage houses, colorful flowerbeds, and a true sense of community not found elsewhere in the city.
