The Petersfield, 115 Fourth Avenue: Review and Ratings

Review of 115 Fourth Avenue by Carter Horsley

This very handsome, 8-story building at 115 Fourth Avenue on the northeast corner of 12th Street in the east Village was erected in 1905 and is known as the Petersfield.  It was converted to 70 condominium apartments in the 1980s by Zuberry Associates of which Richard Berry and F. Anthony Zunino were principals.

It is across 12th Street from a similar but larger loft conversion from the same period at 111 Fourth Avenue.

It is close to Grace Church, Cooper Union, Union Square and the Strand Bookstore.

Bottom Line

A very attractive loft conversion in the 1980s of a 1905 building a couple blocks south of Union Square Park with a 24-hour doorman and high ceilings and wide floor corridors.

Description

The building has a canopied entrance and its inset, three-part windows have dark spandrels. 

The roof life has handsome decorative panels and is widely crenellated.

Amenities

The building has a 24-hour doorman,  a roof deck, a fitness center, a live-in superintendent and it allows cats and dogs.
