Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Nest Seekers LLC.

The 595-square-foot one bedroom at 126 East 57th Street is laid out for efficiency, with one bedroom and one bath in a plan the listing says was designed to make the most of both space and natural light.

The apartment faces north. A north-facing window gets direct sun only in June, about 4.2 hours in total, in two windows: roughly 5:49 to 7:53 AM and 6:03 to 8:07 PM. Nearby buildings can block even that, and no direct sun is shown for north-facing windows in winter, spring or fall.

The washer and dryer are in the unit, so laundry doesn't mean a trip out of the apartment. I'd count that as one of the more useful features here, because in a home this size it's a chore you'd otherwise do every week. Central air is also part of the home.

The building has an elevator, a garden and a roof deck, and pets are allowed. ODA Architecture designed the building, and the listing describes five floors of amenities built around wellness, recreation and entertaining.

The 59 St station is about 4 minutes on foot, with the 4, 5, 6, N, R and W lines, and Lexington Av/53 St is about 6 minutes away. Central Park is about 8 minutes on foot. For groceries, Whole Foods Market is about 6 minutes away, and Aquavit is about 3 minutes if you'd rather eat out.
