51 5Th Ave

Built in 1929 and rising 16 stories, this pre‑war cooperative on Lower Fifth Avenue is a classic Greenwich Village Gold Coast residence. The limestone‑accented façade and ornate classical detailing reflect its original Thomas W. Lamb design. The building contains mostly two‑bedroom layouts and larger Classic Six variations, many featuring high beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, wood‑burning fireplaces, generous entry foyers, formal dining rooms, built‑ins, and substantial closet and pantry storage typical of the era. Common interior finishes across apartments include crown moldings, galley or eat‑in kitchens with modernized appliances, windowed bathrooms, and occasional den or office spaces. Shared building amenities are full‑time doorman service, a live‑in resident manager/superintendent, a recently renovated fitness room, bicycle storage, on‑site laundry, and private storage bins; pet ownership and pied‑a‑terre/co‑purchase requests are considered. The co‑op comprises an intimate collection of units with two automatic elevators and a well‑appointed pre‑war lobby. Located at Fifth Avenue and East 12th Street, the address places residents steps from Washington Square Park, NYU, Union Square, restaurants, transit and neighborhood retail, offering a refined, walkable urban lifestyle that blends historic character with contemporary conveniences.
