357 E 57th Street #12G

Looking for a modern, move-in ready 1 bedroom? Want great light and open city views? What about a full-service building that allows pets? This home checks off all the boxes, whether for full-time or pied-a-terre use. Recently renovated and barely lived in, Apt. 12G is a spacious, high-floor unit with fabulous uptown vistas. Large windows spanning the entire length of the apartment provide bright and steady northern light all day long, and quiet, twinkling views at night. Originally a large alcove studio, the reimagined layout now provides distinct spaces for both living and dining. Wide plank flooring throughout creates a seamless flow underfoot, while tastefully chosen overhead lighting illuminates every part of the home. The beautifully renovated kitchen was opened to the dining area, allowing for effortless entertaining. The breakfast bar easily seats three and provides an enormous amount of space on which to work. White quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances mesh perfectly with the chic gray-blue palette of the cabinets. The well-designed space includes a tall pantry, deep cabinet drawers for pots and pans, 4-burner cooktop and convection microwave, dishwasher, and undercounter pull-out trash can. The bedroom fits a queen (or king) bed, along with other furniture and features two large closets and ceiling fan. The windowed (yes, windowed) bathroom has been renovated with a step-in shower and gleams with white marble and stone finishes. Both rooms have thru-wall AC units, allowing for personalized temperature control regardless of time of year. Very welcoming to pets, this cooperative also allows subletting and washer/dryer installation. What else? A fantastic live-in superintendent and group of doormen/staff provide 24/7 service. The building has a furnished roof deck with gorgeous views, laundry room, storage (separate charge and waitlist), and garage (separate charge). Convenient Midtown location is close to beautiful waterside parks, including the new East River Greenway pedestrian bridge, loads of grocery and shopping options, including Trader Joe’s, multiple subway and bus lines in every direction, and easy access to the FDR.
