Glorious East 57th St Terraced 2 /3 BR
Freshly painted, beautifully renovated and exquisitely planted is this 2/3 Bedroom 3 full bath large terraced apartment in a full service boutique Pre War coop on East 57th Street.
Infamous Nora Ephron once said that the light on the East side is better than the West side. She was so right. Glorious light from the South, West, North and East streams into this quiet and serene 18th floor home. Every room is windowed and most of the walls are exterior. The open cascading Northern views in the Bedrooms are exceptional through the large picture windows.
The large terrace is a joy. How rare to have a space like this. It has been exquisitely and artistically landscaped with over 15 different plants, grasses and trees in beautiful planters. The open views are lovely and the sky is endless. With two entrances, one from the Den , the other from the Living room you can dine, read, enjoy morning coffee, work, snooze, zoom, breathe, plant to your hearts content or just leave the doors open to bring the beauty inside! There is a water hook-up and the new electronic awning offers shade as well as charm.
The South facing Living Room is spacious and large enough for a Dining table with seating for six and ample room for a gracious seating area. From the table are direct pretty views of the Terrace. The flexible Den / Media room is enhanced by natural light from West and Southern exposures and direct access to the Terrace. This room could be a Formal Dining room if desired.
Both the Living room and Den/Media room have been enriched with custom designed floor to ceiling shelving beautifully crafted to hold books, glassware and art. Shelves can be adjusted to accommodate artwork, media equipment or large books. Off the entry foyer is the renovated light-filled windowed kitchen with generous subtle Calacatta Ultra Quartz countertops and matching backsplash. Custom cabinetry has lighting underneath and offers an abundance of pantry and storage along with a large sub-zero, Bosch D/W and a stainless 5-burner range. The kitchen was intelligently renovated with separately zoned remote-controlled Daikin Central Air.
The Primary bedroom is huge with a large dressing area configured with custom closets, drawers and shelving. The two large tilt and turn picture windows face North with exquisite cascading views. The gut renovated en-suite windowed bathroom has a roomy walk-in shower and beautiful custom designed floor tiles both with Creama Marfil marble. The vanity top is Emperador Granite. There is Thermostat-controlled heated flooring.
The secondary bedroom is nicely sized with gorgeous open cascading Northern views through a large picture window. The 3rd Bedroom currently configured as a home office can be a 3rd bedroom or exercise room. There is thru-the wall AC in all the Bedrooms. These two smaller bedrooms could easily be combined.
There are two additional full bathrooms, both windowed; one with a tub and the other a walk-in shower. One is off the Den and the other off the hallway leading to the Bedrooms. Both are beautifully tiled with glass and stone. There is a vented washer and dryer in one of them.
The original oak flooring has been lovingly cared for and is in pristine condition throughout the home. The Living and Dining areas have through the wall remote controlled Daikin Central Air units. There are ample closets throughout including a walk-in in the foyer and another in the Den / Media room. 227 east 57 is a full-service prewar boutique coop built-in 1931 with 24/7 door personnel, a live-in Resident Manager and responsive staff. The lobby is warm and engaging whose large elevator has original brass and wood paneling. There is a service elevator for the 118 units in the building.
The common Laundry room has new machines and there is private storage for rent in the basement. This cooperative is pet-friendly; co-purchasing /subletting and pied-a-terres are permitted on a case-by-case basis.
Whole Foods and Daiso is across the street with other markets close by. Grabbing a taxi is a breeze. Public transportation is unparalleled. The M57 / M31 Crosstown bus is on the corner and other buses and all subway lines are a few blocks away. All services, shopping and great eateries are a stone's throw away.
New York City recently opened the East Midtown Greenway, an eight-block-long link in a loop of pedestrian and bike paths around Manhattan, located along the East River between 53rd and 61st Streets which is part of the East Midtown Waterfront providing lovely walking, cycling and relaxing. One more reason why the allure of East 57th Street grows and grows.
