Property Description for 440 East 57th Street, 9-B
A Parisian oasis in Manhattan awaits in Manhattan's Sutton Place. An opportunity to live in one of the only real residential neighborhoods in Manhattan. This impeccably gut-renovated two bedroom, two bathroom home is all that you could imagine, and much more.
There’s so much more than meets the eye in this boldly designed apartment with top-of-the-line integrated technology including fully automated Lutron lights throughout that is app and voice controlled (Alexa or Google Assistant), top-of-the line LED lights incorporated into built-in cabinets, living room, kitchen undermount and closets that will last decades, and built-in rear ceiling mounted speakers for surround sound. No need for visible wires or cable boxes, as the entire home is wired for TV and internet behind walls including multi-redundant ethernet cables with all electronics housed neatly at the top of the entry closet.
Stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter with three air conditioning/heating PTAC units that were all replaced less than five years ago – all have wireless thermostats and custom solid wood vent covers. An additional air conditioning unit, hidden behind a custom cover to maintain aesthetic, was also installed in the kitchen window for extra cooling.
No stone was left unturned in the kitchen design, with all new appliances still under extended warranty including a Sub-Zero refrigerator with French doors, best-in-class Miele dishwasher, and 36-bottle wine fridge with digital thermostat. Rival New York’s best steak houses with a commercial quality broiler and 36’’ Blue Star range with the largest oven capacity for a range this size. The Vent-a-Hood over the range exhaust features ductless hood technology with special multi-phase filtration to eliminate odors and capture grease while the custom, stainless steel counter-top (perfect material for today given the antibacterial and antimicrobial properties of stainless steel), boasts a no drip lip and fully integrated large capacity sink.
Each bedroom features custom Transform closets, integrated with double hampers and shelving. The master also includes a jewelry drawer, tie rack, pull out mirror and valet bar. The second bedroom also features a custom window seat with UV/stain-resistant fabric and built-ins for extra storage. Black out shades can be found in both bedrooms.
Duravit cabinetry with soft close doors adorn both bathrooms and are surrounded by floor-to-ceiling marble (even above the shower/tub), Restoration Hardware mirror and top-of-the-line polished nickel faucets and fixtures. The master bathroom also includes a two faucet sink and Toto toilet with Washlet – an automatic heated seat, built-in air freshener that eliminates odor, LED night light and heated water for the bidet. A custom, integrated vent fan on automatic timer to rid of steam and odors is featured in both bathrooms.
Custom oak herringbone flooring, installed with a sound proofing layer underneath, can be found throughout the entire unit as well as decorative floor, crown and wall moldings, built-in cabinets, polished nickel door knobs, and custom Shade Store window shades and drapes in all rooms. Additional features included custom solid wood doors to eliminate sound transfer with invisible hinges for closets.
440 East 57th Street is a full-service building with only four units per floor with amenities including a laundry room, live-in super, and gorgeous roof deck. Pied-à-terres, guarantors, and pets are allowed.
