40 5Th Ave

A distinguished Neo-Georgian prewar cooperative on a tree-lined corner of Greenwich Village, built in 1929 and rising roughly 15–17 stories. The building’s masonry façade and classically proportioned massing reflect architects of the McKim, Mead & White era; interiors and common areas retain prewar detailing. Apartment layouts are traditionally generous two-bedroom (and larger multi-room) plans with high beamed ceilings, wood-burning fireplaces, formal entrance galleries, separate dining rooms, and well-proportioned living spaces. Many residences open onto private outdoor areas or overlook a landscaped communal garden and courtyard; some units include loggias, Juliette balconies, and private storage. Building services are full-service white-glove: 24-hour doormen, elevator operators, concierge-style staff and a live-in superintendent. Shared amenities emphasize private outdoor space and convenience: a landscaped garden, roof deck, bicycle and storage rooms. Practical modernizations in many homes include renovated kitchens with high-end appliances, in-unit washers/dryers, central air or split systems, built-in storage and integrated wiring. The cooperative maintains strict occupancy rules typical of its class, and parking is off-site. Located between Union Square and Washington Square Park, the building sits amid restaurants, grocery markets, and multiple subway lines, offering a classic Greenwich Village lifestyle with easy access to downtown and midtown destinations.
