125 West 12 Street   Unit 5B

5B is a bright, south-facing, pre-war one-bedroom on idyllic West 12th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues. Perfectly situated where Greenwich Village meets the West Village, this high floor home is a rare find and located within a well-run, boutique elevator co-operative. With 9.5-foot ceilings, south-facing windows in each room and tons of sky from every sight line, 5B receives penthouse caliber sunlight while still maintaining its charming, tree-lined feel.
Enter the home through a large foyer with a big coat closet and an etched glass light fixture overhead. The coved ceiling is painted black and immediately sets the tone for 5B's unmistakable pre-war aesthetic. Off the entryway is a fully equipped chef's kitchen with a large casement window overlooking West 12th Street. This rustic yet immaculately maintained kitchen is a room of its own and features custom cabinetry, unique storage features including an appliance garage and wine bottle pantry, stainless steel countertops, a butcher block, a commercial size stainless steel basin sink and a high-end appliance package including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Viking stove and a Miele dishwasher.
The oversized living room features three south-facing casement windows and lays out as a perfect rectangle, measuring approximately 12 by 18 feet. There is enough space for separate living and dining with several art walls that dramatically anchor the room. The living room is ideal for intimately hosting friends or relaxing among treetops and also offers a massive and cleverly tucked away closet. The newly renovated bathroom is bright, windowed and tastefully appointed with Toto and Restoration Hardware fixtures and a convenient shower/tub combo. Another large closet ideal for linens, cleaning supplies and luggage is right off the bathroom and adjacent to the bedroom. The bedroom is a cozy retreat and can easily accommodate a king size bed plus a dresser or reading chair. There is another generously sized closet in the bedroom with both shelving and hanging space.
If you're in pursuit of a pre-war home with southern light and iconic Village views of the Jefferson Market clock tower, look no further. 5B is not only perfectly laid out and proportioned, it is also move-in ready and offers tons of storage. 125 West 12th Street is an established co-op consisting of 34 homes, a live-in superintendent, laundry in the basement, bike storage and very reasonable monthly carrying costs.
