447 E 57TH Street #10A

THE APARTMENT Apartment 10A is a distinguished six-room masterpiece designed by Albert Hadley who used the Candela canvas to create a luxurious home built for entertaining, relaxation and tranquility. There is a seamless flow from room to room. Enter from the semi-private elevator landing into the almost 16 foot x 10 foot welcoming foyer with coat closet leading into the enormous living room with fireplace, floor-to-ceiling windows facing south, and high ceilings. The large wood paneled library also facing south can easily be converted to a second bedroom and offers an en-suite full bath. Candela made certain that the expansive primary suite received fantastic light from the south-facing floor-to-ceiling windows and a view to the west onto 57th Street, also with an en-suite full bath. 10A has a formal dining room and an over 15-foot gallery leading to the oversized chef's kitchen and a staff room with sink, toilet, and shower. The kitchen has two large east-facing windows, a powder room, washer dryer unit, and Wolf 6 burner gas stove. Closets, cabinets, and storage are everywhere. Heat and A/C are within built in wall units throughout with a separate window A/C for the kitchen. The sale includes a basement storage cage, and the property is in good condition but could benefit from an upgrade. 447 EAST 57TH STREET THE COOPERATIVE The building was built by renowned architect Rosario Candela in 1928. Candela's buildings have become some of the most coveted addresses in New York City. There are less than 25 apartments at 447 East 57th Street, many of which were built as full-floor units and divided into two units on several floors during the Great Depression. As the economy strengthened later in the 20th century, several of the units were restored to full-floor units. The cooperative offers full-time doorman service, porters, and a live-in resident manager. Pied a Terres and pets will be considered. With the building's desirable location in Sutton Place, just east of Midtown, residents can enjoy easy access to Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and Morton Williams along with fine dining all close. Transportation options from Sutton Place are easily navigated.
