444 E 57TH Street #12E

Rarely is a nine room prewar condominium on a high floor available in this most desired neighborhood. Enter the foyer to the center hall layout, which leads to the entertaining rooms, the bedroom wing and to one of the two entrances to the kitchen. The grand living room feels like a salon with its fireplace and stately entrance to an enormous dining room. The windowed kitchen has two butlers pantries and two staff rooms, plus a powder room. These rooms can easily be redefined into an exceptionally large eat in kitchen and whatever else your personal needs are. The bedroom wing features three sunny rooms and two full windowed bathrooms. A corner master with a peak of the river and an en-suite windowed bath has two closets. The second bedroom with fireplace is adjacent to the living room, or can easily be a library/den entered from the hall as it is now, or from the living room. The third bedroom faces south with wonderful light and open city views. This handsome home has all the features everyone wants: four exposures, tremendous light, 9-4 high ceilings, hardwood floors, flexible layout, magnificent entertaining spaces and on the landing with only one other residence. 444 East 57th Street is perfectly situated on Billionaires Row on the quiet end, near Sutton Place, excellent shopping, dining and easy transportation around the city as well as to the airports. This dignified building lends itself to historic lobby dcor, an elevator operator, door staff and a resident manager. The condominium allows central air, washers and dryers to be installed with proper approval. The building amenities include a separate storage cage, bike room and pets permitted. There is a monthly assessment of $643 through December 2019.
