Overview of 97 Fifth Avenue

97 Fifth Avenue is a late 19th Century building, originally designed by Robert Maynicke in 1898, that has been converted into rental apartments. The structure features a three-story rusticated limestone base and stands eight stories tall, housing 28 apartments. Notably, the building boasts 12-foot-high ceilings and oversized windows that allow for ample natural light. In 2005, the building underwent window replacements with thermopane glass while preserving its distinctive decorative spiraled mullions. Located just three blocks north of 14th Street, it offers convenient access to public transportation and is surrounded by a vibrant neighborhood filled with restaurants, boutiques, and major retailers like Barnes & Noble and Whole Foods.

The apartments at 97 Fifth Avenue are characterized by their spacious layouts, with many featuring queen-size bedrooms, hardwood floors, and large living areas. The building includes essential amenities such as an elevator, on-site laundry facilities, and a live-in superintendent. Residents can enjoy the charm of high ceilings and the modern convenience of renovated kitchens and bathrooms. The proximity to Union Square Park and various subway lines enhances the appeal of this location for those seeking a quintessential New York City living experience.

While the building does not permit pets, it offers a range of apartment options, including one and two-bedroom layouts, each designed to maximize space and light. The unique architectural features and prime location make 97 Fifth Avenue a desirable choice for renters looking to immerse themselves in the dynamic Flatiron District.
