About This Property
Sculpted by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill with interiors by Daniel Romualdez, 252 East 57th Street was conceived for a thoroughly curated way of living. Residence 55A rises to that promise. Framed by the tower's graceful glass curtain wall, this corner 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home spans approximately 2,621 SF with an 85 SF balcony, capturing sweeping north and west views of the Manhattan skyline, Central Park, and the East River. With only three residences per floor, arrival is discreet and resolutely private.
A 30-foot, double-exposure living/dining room wraps the northwest corner beneath 10'6" ceilings, creating a luminous backdrop for daily life and entertaining. The windowed, west-facing eat-in kitchen, designed by Daniel Romualdez with Eggersmann, features horizontal-grain walnut cabinetry, white HanStone glass quartz counters and backsplash, a full Miele appliance suite, and a 33" Kohler Stages sink. Adjacent to the kitchen is a glass-lined entertainment room with a bar and bespoke built-ins.
The primary suite is secluded and expansive, with a large walk-in closet and a windowed en-suite bath clad in polished white Nanoglass. The bath features radiant-heat floors, a walnut vanity with a white glass top, a custom 6-foot soaking tub, a glass-enclosed shower, and a separate Toto water closet. The corner second bedroom enjoys open city views and an en-suite bath. The third bedroom, currently configured as a den and media room, can readily be restored as a bedroom. A generous gallery, " white oak floors, central air, a vented Asko washer/dryer, and THG/Dornbracht fittings underscore the home's material rigor and comfort.
Residents enter through a marble-clad, attended 57th Street lobby or the gated 56th Street porte cochère with automated parking. An owner's parking space is available for purchase, with pricing upon request. Amenities, many set in double-height, glass-wrapped spaces, include a 75-foot pool and spa with a hydrotherapy circuit, lounges, a library, screening and billiards rooms, furnished guest suites, a 70-foot south terrace, and a full fitness center with Pilates, spin, and yoga. The building also offers dining and breakfast rooms with a catering kitchen, a conference room, a children's playroom, a dog spa, a bike room, and storage (subject to availability).
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales LLC.
The building at 252 East 57th Street, sculpted by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, has an indoor pool, a spa, a sauna, a steam room, a screening room, a game room and a roof deck, with a concierge at the lobby. Residence 55A is the apartment, but those shared spaces are a big part of what makes it easy to live in day to day.
Inside, the living and dining room runs 30 feet and has exposures on two sides, wrapping the northwest corner under 10-foot-6 ceilings. That corner position is what gives the room its light from more than one direction. The eat-in kitchen is windowed and faces west, with horizontal-grain walnut cabinetry, white HanStone glass quartz counters, a full Miele appliance suite and a 33-inch Kohler Stages sink. In winter, direct sun reaches that west window from about 12:34 PM to 4:07 PM, and in summer from about 1:11 PM to 8:07 PM. Nearby buildings can block some of it.
The primary suite has a large walk-in closet and an en-suite bath clad in polished white Nanoglass, with radiant-heat floors, a walnut vanity and a custom 6-foot soaking tub. The corner second bedroom has open city views and its own en-suite bath. A vented Asko washer and dryer are in the home, which I'd call one of the more useful details for everyday life in Manhattan.
The 85-square-foot balcony gives you direct outdoor access, and the north and west views take in the Manhattan skyline, Central Park and the East River. The Lexington Av/59 St station for the 4, 5, 6, N, R and W trains is about 7 minutes on foot, and Whole Foods Market is about 1 minute away. Queensboro Oval is about 7 minutes on foot.
