24 5th Ave, New York, NY 10011

Designed by Emery Roth with permanent residents in mind, this 15-story building in the heart of Greenwich Village opened as the Fifth Avenue Hotel upon its... completion in 1926. The 419 apartments in the classic prewar residence were subsequently converted to tenant ownership. A large, elegant lobby leads to a wide corridor with a carved plaster ceiling and marble mosaic panels, but the buildings most distinctive feature may be the bronze canopy on Fifth Avenue, perhaps the most impressive on this residential stretch of the famous boulevard. An enclosed sidewalk cafe extension on the avenue adds liveliness to the street. The co-op offers a full-time doorman, concierge, fitness center, bike room and laundry facilities.NOFEE Lee mas
