Newly christened East Fifth Street mansion is yours for $8.45 million

We've been keeping an eye on the ongoing conversion at 526 E. Fifth St. between Avenue A and Avenue B ... where a three-story multiple-dwelling building was becoming a single-family residence...

[Summer 2012]

Curbed yesterday spotted the new listing for the newly christened mansion.

And the new look comes courtesy of architect Annabelle Selldorf (yes) ... here is the Corcoran listing:

The interior living space is almost 5200 square feet.The back of the house includes an Eat-in Kitchen, a Study off the Master Suite, Family / Media room, and Home Office. The home's spacious layout could easily accommodate up to seven bedrooms. A charming rear garden is paved in bluestone and lushly planted, while a wood-decked roof terrace offers an additional 350 square feet of outdoor living space in which to relax, entertain, or just enjoy the tree-tops and long southern views to the lower Manhattan skyline.

Some pics.











The southeast stretch of this lovely block is bonkerishly luxurious now... aside from this mansion, you have the the $10,000 apartments at 532 E. Fifth St. ... as well as the pricy charmless rentals at the former Cabrini Center on the corner...

    Swooning over that kitchen. My god.

    Someone would have to really, really love the neighborhood to shell out so much cash.

    I would not have put a tree to block my windows I would have left that to Bloomberg's tree fairies to stick one on the sidewalk against my wishes.

    used to live right above Ace Bar - not great when the smokers came out, but hell's bells i'd rather live with that than whoever moves in there.

    The place has a wood burning fireplace. I live next door, for about 25 years there now. So when they have been testing the fireplace, well don't you know that depending on the wind, the smoke ends up blowing right into my bedroom windows and truly fills my apartment with smoke to the point that it is actually visibly smoky in there to say nothing of the stink. Yes the stack is the legal number of feet above the roof, etc., all up to code apparently, so I am stuck. Just seems funny that in a city where a man can not smoke a cigarette with his drink in the local bar, it is totally cool to put a big pipe belching big smoke right in the middle of everyone's homes.
