Sutton Place SerenityAn elegant and tranquil home in a classic pre-war co-op. This one bedroom apartment features generously proportioned rooms and a layout typical of much larger apartments. The entry foyer (with walk-in closet) opens to a spacious living room featuring a wall-to-wall casement window facing north. The bedroom has two large windows, a walk-in closet, and an en-suite windowed bathroom. At the other end of the living room, a dining area leads to the windowed kitchen with a large pantry closet. Both the living room and bedroom have thru-the-wall air conditioning units. 435 East 57 was designed by Emery Roth and built by Bing and Bing in 1927. It features a sophisticated marble lobby, full-time doorman and concierge, a live-in superintendent, storage space, a fitness center, bike room, and laundry room. Pets are welcome. The co-op permits 50% financing; pieds-a-terre; guarantors; and parents buying for children. There is a 2% flip tax payable by the seller.It is situated in the heart of Sutton Place, a neighborhood noted for its rich architectural history and its many conveniences. Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Morton Williams, Ideal Cheese, and a host of smaller purveyors are just some of the shopping attractions. Perhaps the neighborhood's greatest appeal is its close proximity to the midtown office buildings and popular restaurants a few blocks to the West, and the easy access to the FDR Drive, Queensboro Bridge, and Midtown Tunnel that can shave significant time off trips to Long Island, Connecticut, and the airports.
