Coopérative Greenwich Village

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a 1,500 square foot half floor-thru prewar gem on the coveted ”Gold Coast” of Lower Fifth Avenue - the intersection of classic brownstones, renowned restaurants, boutique shopping and daily convenience. Bring your architect and build on a stunning canvas - 10-foot ceilings, three sunny exposures, two wood-burning fireplaces, 18th century chevron Belgian oak floors, and original moldings throughout - to create your own exquisitely modern home within this historic building.

Currently configured as 2 bedrooms plus a formal dining room and study, the unit’s grand proportions allow for many possible layouts to suit your needs. You might envision a luxurious primary suite with fireplace, walk-in closets, and an ensuite bath with room for a dramatic standalone tub. Add an additional two bedrooms (three total) and still have ample room for a full-sized kitchen and spacious living and dining area for all your relaxing and entertaining needs. For a buyer with high standards and a keen eye, the possibilities are exhilarating.

Built in 1882 by Ralph Townsend, The Portsmouth is one of two twin Queen Anne-style buildings on tree-lined West 9th Street just West of 5th Avenue - part of a sought-after cooperative sometimes known as the ”Downtown Dakota.” Equipped with full-time doorman, full-time super, bike room, package room, updated elevators, restored lobbies, laundry room, and storage in the basement, the building allows co-purchase, pied-a-terre, pets, washer/dryers, and central air conditioning as well as financing up to 80%. Note: 1% Flip Tax payable by seller.
