Elegant and bright, this prewar two bedroom, two bathroom corner apartment is quintessentially ‘Manhattan'. Cleverly designed and laid-out, this home takes advantage of constant natural light pouring into huge rooms, thanks to triple exposure, windows all around, and a timeless renovation. A proper foyer welcomes you and ushers you into an expansive, sunny living and dining room with gorgeous, original casement windows looking south onto the iconic Manhattan cityscape. Exquisite details like beautiful Oak crown moldings and well-crafted millwork grace this space. The living room opens onto a lovely, west-facing planting balcony that bathes in afternoon light and stunning sunsets. A sunny, windowed eat-in kitchen leaves no detail unconsidered. Boasting top-of-the-line appliances like a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Sub-Zero wine refrigerator, and Wolf ovens, the kitchen overlooks neighboring terraces, providing bucolic views. Overlooking the terrace, the bright and spacious primary bedroom features bespoke built-in shelving and ample closet space. The ensuite bathroom has a stunning Thassos Greek white marble vanity, a glassed-in shower/tub and radiant heat flooring. An enclosed laundry closet features an LG washer and dryer. A second bedroom sits on the opposite end of the home, with an ensuite bathroom and custom-built cabinetry. Abundant storage space and Oak flooring underfoot round out the offerings in this iconic Manhattan home. Exuding old world charm, with marble flooring and handsome wood-paneled elevators, 227 East 57th Street is an art deco-style, full-service pre-war building located in lovely Sutton Place. Friendly, quiet and well-maintained, it is serviced by a live-in manager and 24-hour doorman, and provides a bike room, laundry room and supplemental storage. Directly across from Whole Foods and three blocks from Trader Joe's, the location is perfectly positioned for residents to take advantage of the shopping, dining and attractions the neighborhood is known for.
