About This Property
Occupying a spectacular position high above East 57th Street just off Sutton Place, this beautifully renovated, sun-flooded corner prewar penthouse is distinguished by an extraordinary 1,900-square-foot wraparound terrace with breathtaking panoramic views of the iconic Manhattan skyline and the East River. The elegant residence features two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a powder room, high ceilings reaching 10'2", and three wood-burning fireplaces. Extending along the principal entertaining rooms and primary bedroom, the magnificent terrace offers multiple seating areas and ample space for dining al fresco, creating an exceptional setting for both grand-scale entertaining and everyday enjoyment.
A gracious entrance gallery, crowned by a magnificent antique glass dome skylight, introduces the beautifully proportioned entertaining rooms. The expansive, south-facing living room is flooded with natural light through a wall of windows and features a wood-burning fireplace and French doors opening directly onto the terrace. The adjoining corner formal dining room enjoys south and east exposures and is equally elegant, with a second wood-burning fireplace, a china closet, and French doors leading to the terrace. The seamless flow between these rooms and the outdoor spaces makes the residence particularly well suited for entertaining.
The beautifully renovated, windowed eat-in kitchen features classic St. Charles cabinetry, marble countertops, a breakfast bar, and a large pantry closet. Top-of-the-line appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, a six-burner Wolf range, a Miele dishwasher, a True wine refrigerator, and a built-in microwave. An elegantly appointed powder room with an onyx floor and Waterworks fixtures, along with a separate laundry area equipped with a Frigidaire washer and vented dryer, completes the entertaining wing.
The private bedroom wing is thoughtfully separated from the entertaining rooms by its own hallway. The south-facing primary bedroom features a third wood-burning fireplace, two doors opening directly onto the terrace, and a dressing room. The luxurious corner, windowed primary bathroom is beautifully finished and features two sinks, a separate shower, a bathtub, and Waterworks fixtures. The spacious second bedroom enjoys western exposures and has an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub.
Additional features of this exceptional residence include beautiful crown moldings, abundant closet space, central air conditioning with individual Mitsubishi thermostats in every room, a large storage closet on the terrace, and two additional adjacent staff rooms conveniently located on the building's first floor.
Built in 1927, 419 East 57th Street is an elegant boutique prewar cooperative offering 24-hour doorman service, a fitness center, a central laundry room, and a beautifully landscaped terrace. Pied-à-terres and pets are permitted, and financing is allowed up to 75%. There is a 2% flip tax payable by the purchaser.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.
The ceilings reach 10 feet 2 inches, and three wood-burning fireplaces, in the living room, the dining room and the primary bedroom, give this prewar penthouse much of its character. The corner dining room has south and east exposures, and the crown moldings and antique glass dome skylight over the entrance gallery are details you notice on the way in.
Both the living room and the primary bedroom face south. Direct sun on a south-facing window runs about 8.5 hours on the winter solstice, from 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM, and about 6.1 hours on the summer solstice, from 9:55 AM to 4:01 PM. Nearby buildings can block some of that light.
The terrace is about 1,900 square feet and runs along the entertaining rooms and the primary bedroom. It has several seating areas and room for dining outdoors. The living room, dining room and primary bedroom all open onto it through French doors, so moving between inside and outside is easy when you're hosting. There's also a large storage closet on the terrace.
Cooking is set up for regular use. The kitchen is windowed and has a breakfast bar and a large pantry closet, with marble countertops and cabinetry in the St. Charles line. For appliances, you get a Sub-Zero unit for cold storage, a Wolf range with six burners, a dishwasher from Miele, a wine refrigerator from True, and a microwave built into the wall. The separate laundry area has a Frigidaire washer and vented dryer, so laundry is done inside the apartment.
The primary bedroom has its own hallway, separate from the entertaining rooms, and a dressing room. The primary bath has two sinks, a separate shower and a bathtub. The second bedroom faces west and has an en-suite bath with a bathtub.
The Lexington Av/53 St station for the E and F trains is about 10 minutes on foot, and Lexington Av/59 St, with the 4, 5, 6, N, R and W trains, is about 11 minutes away. Queensboro Oval is about 2 minutes on foot, and Morton Williams is about 2 minutes away. The building has an elevator and a roof deck, and pets are allowed. As a co-op, the purchase goes through board review, so it's worth asking early about the building's financing and subletting rules.
