Description

SPECTACULAR GOLD COAST PENTHOUSE

The magic of this grand, designer-renovated terraced penthouse begins with the building's unbeatable location on prime Greenwich Village's Fifth Avenue and continues with its stunning Beaux Arts fa ade and the magnificent, often photographed lobby.

Once home to Marlon Brando and Julia Roberts, amongst other notable celebrities, 43 Fifth Avenue exemplifies the splendor of the most coveted Gold Coast location and its historic architecture. A crown jewel atop this landmark edifice is this Penthouse, offered for the first time in decades.

The painstakingly renovated residence is designed with impeccable precision, filled with amazing light from three sunny exposures, great Downtown views, and unparalleled sophistication.

Currently configured as a chic 2-bedroom, 2-bath home, with an open plan including a glass-enclosed dining room and an unrivaled home-office/guest room, this incredible apartment can easily be converted to a comfortable 3-berdroom residence.

A piece de resistance is the home's enormous private terrace off the loftlike living, dining and kitchen expanse. Designed and upgraded by the renowned landscape design firm, Halsted Wells Associates, 800 plus SF space features mature perennials and colorful annuals lit at night by a low voltage illumination, and self-watered by an elaborate irrigation system.

The terrace is spacious enough to expand further, if desired, for additional seating, dining, and viewing pleasure, with structural supports in place for a large pergola.

The interior is a true art-lover's dream come true! Designed with an attention to detail apparent upon entrance and reinforced with each step of a walk-through. Wall space allows for the incorporation of artwork, be it sculptures, paintings or memorabilia, and sophisticated alarm system makes any precious belongings safe and secure.

Furthermore, the homes offers the finest quality of functionality. Its state-of-the-art features include a Lutron lighting system, motorized Hunter Douglas shades and four skylights.

The living room features a wood burning fireplace and opens into the Four Seasons green-house style Dining Room with heated-floors, sophisticated multi-film thermal glass and custom-made retractable shades on remote control.

There are heated floors in both bathrooms too, and a steam shower in the main bath.

The chef's kitchen has a statement marble-top island as well as granite countertops and top of the line appliances including Miele induction cooktop, Miele oven, Miele dishwasher, a microwave and Sub Zero Refrigerator. Gaggenau Ventilation System vents outside as does the washer/drier.

43 5th Avenue has a full-time doorman and lends a serene residential atmosphere on best location, yet within an easy reach to some of the City's most desirable shopping, dining, entertainment, and education.

Michelin-star restaurants dot the neighborhood. Trendy grocery stores, a green market, and other services around Union Square are all just several blocks away.
