Thoughtfully redesigned by internationally acclaimed theater critic and scholar Elinor Fuchs, this home radiates elegance, seamlessly blending timeless charm with modern convenience.

Upon entry, a striking wood-paneled gallery lined with custom bookshelves and recessed lighting sets an intimate yet open tone, leading into a spacious living room. Beamed ceilings throughout add architectural character, while custom built-in storage maximizes space without compromising design.

A serene private office, featuring custom built-ins and three windows, provides a perfect retreat for work or relaxation, offering stunning western views of the iconic First Presbyterian Church.

Ideal for entertaining, the formal dining room-accessible through an integrated pocket door-leads to a generously sized, windowed kitchen equipped with custom cabinetry, a Wolf induction oven, a Bosch dishwasher, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator-a true chef’s haven.

The private bedroom wing includes an expansive primary suite with a massive walk-in closet offering exceptional storage capacity, complemented by an en-suite bath adorned with Penny Round Bianco Ceramic Mosaic tiling and the convenience of an in-unit washer and dryer. The second bedroom features two charming tree-lined windows and a built-out closet. It is conveniently adjacent to a fully renovated bathroom.

Built in 1929 and designed by Thomas W. Lamb-celebrated for his iconic theaters and cinemas, 51 Fifth Avenue offers a 24-hour doorman, a resident manager, a fitness center, and additional storage bins. The building is pet-friendly and permits co-purchasing and pied-a-terre ownership.

With thoughtfully integrated built-ins and discreet storage solutions at every turn, this residence is as functional as it is beautiful-a classic reimagined for contemporary living in one of Manhattan’s most coveted neighborhoods.
