74 5Th Ave

A 12-story prewar cooperative completed in 1910, this boutique Gold Coast building occupies a prominent corner along Lower Fifth Avenue in Greenwich Village. The masonry exterior and marble double-keyed entry preserve classic early-20th-century character while a keyed-elevator system and recently refurbished lobby signal attentive management. Residences are loft-style one- and two-bedroom units (many configured as flexible 2–3 bedroom layouts) with historic elements—oversized windows, exposed columns, beamed and 10–11 foot ceilings—and modernized interiors that commonly include walk-in closets, built-ins, kitchen islands or breakfast bars, recessed lighting and in-unit washer/dryers. Common spaces emphasize outdoor access: a furnished roof deck of notable square footage provides city views; there is also limited private outdoor space for some units. The building offers a full-time superintendent, case-by-case approval for trusts/LLCs, pet-friendly policies, and financing allowances up to 75% in some listings. Storage is available; private keyed elevators and a small, well-run cooperative governance model create a quiet, residential atmosphere steps from Washington Square Park, Union Square, transit, groceries and downtown dining.
