45 5Th Ave

A boutique pre-war cooperative erected in 1925, this 16-story brick, stone and terra-cotta building exemplifies Greenwich Village’s early 20th-century residential stock. The property contains primarily one-bedroom apartments configured around traditional double-loaded corridors and serviced by an elevator and a service elevator. Interiors retain classic pre-war details — high beamed ceilings, original hardwood floors, crown moldings, decorative fireplaces and sash windows — alongside modernized kitchens and renovated windowed bathrooms in many units. Common areas include a staffed lobby with a virtual/doorman-style intercom system, a live-in superintendent, an on-site laundry room, and a quaint planted garden offering private outdoor spaces under 60 square feet for select residences. Operationally the co-op is noted for low monthly maintenance and solid financials; building policies allow pets (with board approval), subletting after a residency period, and typically restrict guarantors, pied-à-terre purchases, and certain gifting scenarios. Located on the Fifth Avenue “Gold Coast” of Greenwich Village, the building sits within easy walking distance of Washington Square and Union Square parks, numerous restaurants, grocery options and multiple subway lines, providing a classic downtown Manhattan lifestyle in a historically preserved context.
