Description

It has been more than thirty years since this one-of-a-kind 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment, floating high up in the Tower of this renowned building, has been offered for sale. Once owned by a late, legendary fashion photographer, the apartment has magical, southern views of Washington Square Park, the Freedom Tower and all of lower Manhattan. Many rooms, including the good sized kitchen, have huge, all glass picture, tilt turn windows, which serve to bring the southern vista right into this special apartment.

It has been lovingly enhanced with hand crafted woodwork and wainscoting by European craftsman hired especially to work on this apartment. Intricate moldings, doors that fold into walls, custom wood window shutters, wide plank oak floors - all contribute to the special ambiance of this one of a kind apartment. The apartment is truly a work of art- only needing a person to update and enhance its special shine.

There is a small, ongoing assessment of $240.72/month for this apartment. One Fifth Avenue is a full service coop with a rich history. It has been profiled in many articles and magazines, and this apartment is an example of how special a building One Fifth Avenue is.

Please call for private viewing.
