Property Description for 205 West 57th Street, 2-DB

Bring your architect and delight to this enormous two-bedroom apartment, once the residence of Oscar nominated actor, Ralph Bellamy. A home for the truly sophisticated metropolitan, the staircase descends to a spacious and inviting gallery which then leads graciously to the grand living room. The ultimate entertaining space, with high beamed ceilings, original herringbone wood floors and decorative stone fireplace. The large bay window faces south while the adjacent French doors open to a Juliet balcony overlooking 57th street. A separate hallway leads to the primary bedroom with en-suite bathroom. The existing palate can be reimagined to include a second bathroom to compliment the home's second bedroom. The kitchen can be expanded or reconfigured, and a washer/dryer can be installed.

The Osborne is a highly serviced apartment building built in 1885 and notable for its landmark status and well known current and past residents such as Leonard Bernstein, Lynn Redgrave and Bobby Short. The Osborne's lobby is richly decorated and reminiscent of Italian Renaissance and Romanesque revival style. The co-op is pet friendly and pied-a-terre purchases are allowed. There is 50% financing and a 3% flip tax paid by purchaser.

Midtown West | Manhattan

Quick Profile

People, yellow cabs, bright lights, big crowds, 24-hour eateries and just about every type of store imaginable. it’s a frenetic buzz that only a few places on the globe can offer. And that’s just one part of it. Midtown West is the birthplace of hustle and bustle and it’s bordered by 42nd to the south, 59th Street to the north, 8th Avenue to the west, and 5th Avenue to the east. 

Midtown West is not as residential as other neighborhoods in Manhattan. The bustling part of Midtown West is 42nd Street between Times Square and 8th Avenues where the retail and office space, theatres, and attractions are. No matter what time of day it is, you'll always find activity there. 

Residential buildings lay near the western end of Midtown West beginning around 8th Avenue. 

Location, location, location. Of all the neighborhoods and enclaves of Manhattan, Midtown West is perhaps the most commutable place to live, visit, or work. It contains one of the highest concentrations of subway lines in the Big Apple. A, C, E, N, Q, R, 1, 2, 3, and the 7 train. The transit system feeds the streets with commuters from everywhere. The Port Authority Bus Terminal and nearby Penn Station adds to the number of people that flood Midtown on any given day. 

It’s one of the easiest places in all of Manhattan to navigate because it’s a true grid. Uptown, street numbers go up. Downtown, street numbers go down. It’s the same concept from east to west. You really can’t get lost in Midtown West.
