This graciously proportioned, loft-like apartment is a large (approx. 900 sq. ft.) one-bedroom featuring 11' ceilings, hardwood floors, a large kitchen and dining area, sleeping loft, and great closet space. It enjoys charming views to the west along 11th Street, and in the afternoon through sunset is flooded with beautiful western light. Apartment 5M is waiting to fulfill its potential with the help of a needed update.    The originally crafted wrought-iron doorway leads into a newly renovated lobby attended by a full-time doorman. There is one lovely common garden for residents to enjoy. The building also provides a resident superintendent, storage space, a bike room, and laundry room. Pets, washer/dryers, co-purchasing, guarantors, parents purchasing for children, gifting, and pieds-a-terre are on a case-by-case basis with board approval.   Built in 1888 by architect James Renwick, best known for his Grace Church (right next door) and St. Patrick's cathedral on Fifth Avenue, the facade of this unique and handsome building boasts similar Gothic style details and pointed arches. 808 Broadway was converted in the 1980s into this highly sought-after boutique co-op. The building is in close proximity to Union Square Park with its world-famous greenmarket, a myriad of subway lines, Washington Square Park, the Gold Coast, and some of New York's finest restaurants and food shopping (Whole Foods, Trader Joe's), boutiques, a movie house, and other entertainment. Yet its location provides a serene and quiet respite in the midst of one of New York's most coveted neighborhoods.
