340 W 57TH Street #8B

Apartment 8B is a stunning, rare two-bedroom home at the iconic Parc Vendome. An expansive entry foyer flows into the dining area, which can easily seat 8-10 people. Adjacent to the dining area is the living room with a wall of over-sized casement windows that provide an alluring backdrop for entertaining and everyday living. An updated, separate windowed kitchen is off the dining area. The bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet, are on opposite ends of the apartment. The primary bedroom can accommodate a king-size bed, sitting area, and other furniture. The second bedroom also lends itself to (its current) use as a den/home office or a home office large enough for two. Five jumbo closets and well-designed built-ins throughout provide abundant storage space. The Parc Vendome is a pre-war full-service condominium with a 24-hour doorman, a gorgeous one-acre private garden, two planted roof decks, banquet room, catering kitchen, formal dining room, billiards room, library, music room with piano, individual storage bins, and a bike room. It is perfectly located near Central Park, Lincoln Center, MoMA, the Theater District, and other cultural attractions. There is easy access to many lines of transportation, major shopping venues, and a multitude of restaurants with every type of cuisine imaginable. The Parc Vendome's status as the pre-eminent pre-war condominium on what is known as "Billionaires' Row" adds to this home's strong value. ELECTRICITY, GAS, HEAT and WATER are included in the common charges. The monthly capital improvement assessment ($180) is ongoing. Real estate taxes do not include the primary residence discount and STAR credit (up to about 20%) for buyers who qualify. Investor-friendly; short-term leases are permitted. Pets are welcome.
