Rarely does an apartment of this scale become available at 1 Fifth Avenue. Created from three combined residences, this gut-renovated four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom home offers exceptional natural light, expansive entertaining spaces, abundant storage, and sweeping views of Washington Square Park and the downtown skyline.
Inside, beamed ceilings, beautiful wood floors, 14 oversized windows, and custom millwork create a sense of sophistication and scale. Additional building hallway space was acquired and incorporated into the residence, creating a flowing floor plan that begins with a gracious entry gallery, ideal for displaying art. Beyond the gallery, the nearly 500-square-foot great room offers generous space for living, dining, and entertaining, with eastern and southern exposures. Oversized windows with custom coverings frame picturesque views of cobblestoned Washington Mews, the treetops and arch of Washington Square Park, and the downtown skyline, including One World Trade Center. The adjacent windowed kitchen features updated cabinetry, quartz countertops, tiled backsplashes, and stainless steel appliances, including a Bertazzoni glass-top range and oven, a built-in Bertazzoni microwave, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a Bosch dishwasher.
Off the living room, a pocket door opens to a large, sunlit study that leads to the spacious and private primary suite. This arrangement provides a welcome separation between the primary suite and the home's other bedrooms, as well as a quiet space for working from home. The suite features a king-size bedroom with bright southern exposures and a generous custom walk-in closet. The en suite marble bathroom includes a floating double vanity, a large shower, and additional closet storage.
The home's northern wing offers three additional generously proportioned bedrooms, each with abundant closet space. At the end of the hall, an east-facing junior suite features a private windowed bathroom. Another bedroom boasts a walk-in closet and access to a semi-private bathroom with a shower and attractive tilework. A fourth oversized bedroom, located off the entry gallery, features a full wall of closets. A powder room, coat closet, and spacious utility closet with an in-unit washer and dryer complete this thoughtfully designed home.
