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.

A 65-foot living and dining room, running north to south, is the first measure of 425 East 58th Street, Unit 40CD. This 4,200-square-foot co-op has five bedrooms and six baths on the 40th floor, and its 9-foot ceilings give the rooms a generous feel from the moment you walk in.

The grand gallery opens onto a formal dining room and a living room. The living room is double width and has three seating areas, one by the fireplace, one in front of the balcony and one in the media room. The dining room has a wet and dry bar with a small built-in refrigerator and opens to a corner sitting room. Recessed pocket doors can close off a fifth bedroom or guest suite when you need the space.

Serious cooking is what the eat-in kitchen is set up for. It has herringbone floors, two windows, two Miele dishwashers, a Wolf wall oven, and a Wolf six-burner range with a grill and two additional ovens. A 36-inch Subzero refrigerator, a 36-inch freezer and two Subzero refrigerator drawers round out the kitchen. One Subzero wine refrigerator holds 75 bottles, and another in the laundry room holds 75 more.

Outdoor space is on the south side, with a terrace and a balcony that together offer private outdoor space over 60 square feet. From them you can see the river and the Chrysler and Empire State Buildings. Facing south, the apartment would get about 8.5 hours of direct sun on the winter solstice and about 10 hours around the spring and fall equinoxes, assuming an open horizon, though nearby buildings can block it. In my view, nine-foot ceilings give the rooms volume and more room to work with when furnishing them.

The primary suite has corner windows with river and landmarked skyline views, a windowed exercise room, a beautiful bath and two large walk-in closets. Two more full-size bedrooms have cabinetry, and laundry is handled in the unit with a washer and dryer, plus the additional laundry room. In-unit laundry is a daily convenience that's worth having in a home this size.

The building has a concierge, gym, courtyard, garden, package room, cold storage, bike room, garage parking and valet parking, and pets are allowed. The Roosevelt Island M train is about 10 minutes away on foot, and the Lexington Avenue and 59th Street station, served by the 4, 5, 6, N, R and W, is about 12 minutes. Queensboro Oval is about one minute away, and East River Walk is about two.
