A once-grand, originally five room apartment is being offered in "estate" condition with its restoration up to you! The assets of this apartment are many: spacious layout where the original design included a large living room, two bedrooms each with cross exposures, two baths including small one off maid's room (see note below), windowed kitchen with separate dining area, maid's room, with sink, that could become whatever you want. Ninth floor location providing good light and views of one of the city's loveliest residential areas, with the East River close by. An elegant, small, full-service cooperative building with no more than four apartments per floor, 435 East 57th Street is located in the Sutton Place neighborhood and was designed by one of the city's pre-eminent pre-war architects, Emery Roth, for the renowned company of Bing & Bing. A Whole Foods market is close by, located just past Second Avenue. Please note: the one full bathroom has been gutted for a previous plan that wasn't executed. Floor plan to be made available soon.
