419 East 57th Street, MAISE

Designed by New York master architects, George and Edward Blum, the East Maisonette at 419 East 57th Street is a wonderful blend of luxurious living space, inspired old world design, and free-spirited personality. One of only a handful of duplex maisonettes located within the Sutton neighborhood, this unique property offers many exclusive features: a handsomely proportioned ground floor with oversized entertaining area, distinctive dining room, powder room, multi-windowed large eat-in kitchen, and both private street entrance as well as lobby access. It is easy to imagine Nick and Nora Charles descending the dramatic wrought iron staircasegreeting guests with effortless banter and Martini in hand.

The landing on the second floor functions as a foyer to the bedroom level. Enjoy this space as an intimate sitting area, cozy reading nook, or small library. Beyond are three bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The primary bedroom features an ensuite bath. There are abundant closets throughout.

Almost a townhouse within a full-service cooperative, this sun-filled home retains the original prewar details: high ceilings with plaster crown moldings, hardwood floors, and oversized windows.

419 East 57th Street, a full-service Sutton cooperative, is defined by comfort and convenience. The stylish lobby renovation updates the charm and grace of the 1920's. The numerous amenities include a resident manager, 24-hour doorman, central laundry room, bike room, gym, storage, and panoramic roof deck. This well-managed building neighbors the 1.8 acre Sutton Place Promenade, Trader Joe's, and Whole Foods. Throughout the neighborhood are numerous restaurant favorites: Bistro Vendome, Morso, and Canaletto. Pets and pied-a-terre ownership are permitted. The 2% Flip Tax is paid by the buyer.
