Lovely, commodious & well proportioned five and one-half rooms on high floor in classic Emery Roth Bldg., located on tranquil & leafy far-end of East 57th Street. The area has been home to many notable writers and show business luminaries (the "old Hollywood') during the "Golden Age" of New York -- 40s, 50s, 60s) who appreciated the ambiance, tranquility and seclusion of the neighborhood, yet only a short distance from Manhattan's mid-town epicenter!
The apartment features a capacious living room, 2 large bedrooms (or master bedroom and library) with bath, all with open south views across East 57th Street -- suffused with ample warm southern light. The apartment would benefit from some renovation -- the existing layout allows optimum flexibility in modifying the original floor plan, particularly in the rear rooms: kitchen, staffroom (now office) dining area, half bath, hall way.
The apartment provides a rare opportunity to acquire a classic prewar gem with the timeless, understated elegance of distinguished Emery Roth design!
Apartment has basement storage bin. Bldg. has fitness center, allows pets, pied-a-terre use, co-purchasing, guarantors and parents purchasing for children, subletting with board approval. 50% financing. 2% flip tax paid by seller.
