440 East 57th Street, Apt 9B

A rarely available two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in a prime Midtown East location, this expansive, fully renovated home is set in a highly sought-after coop building. Just steps away from Sutton Place, 440 East 57th Street is a boutique building on a tranquil block, offering a serene escape just moments from all the excitement of Midtown Manhattan.

The gourmet windowed kitchen is a chefs dream complete with custom-built wooden cabinets, lots of granite counter top space and stainless steel appliances including a wine fridge and dishwasher. The matching granite sit-down breakfast bar, illuminated by stylish recessed lighting, straddles a large opening that connects to the living room and allows for seamless entertaining. Both large bedrooms feature oversized windows framed by lovely built-in bookshelves, and beautiful parquet hardwood floors run throughout the home. The two full bathrooms are marble and tile, with a soaking tub in one and a glass-enclosed shower in the other.

A gorgeous roof deck tops this high-rise building, allowing residents to soar above the city below. A full-service building with only four units per floor, a laundry room, a friendly staff and a live-in superintendent provide guaranteed convenience. Located in one of the citys best school districts, prestigious elementary and middle schools are just a short walk away. A haven from the crowds of the city, the building is still conveniently close to the crosstown bus and most east side subway lines. Pied-a-terres and pets allowed, and dont forget, very low maintenance. Retail and other conveniences are nearby, including Whole Foods Market and all other Midtown Manhattan advantages.
