Property Description for 205 West 57th Street, 6-AC

NEW PRICE! This exceptional one-bedroom residence offers sweeping views of Carnegie Hall and has been fully renovated to the highest standards. The apartment beautifully blends historic character with modern luxury, featuring original Parquet de Versailles floors and mahogany pocket doors leading into the bedroom. Quarter-sawn white oak trim frames the windows and doorways, evoking the elegance of a bygone era while seamlessly accommodating contemporary upgrades throughout.

The custom Pullman kitchen is thoughtfully designed with matching oak cabinetry, flanked by built-in bookshelves for both beauty and function. High-end appliances include a Miele microwave/convection oven and a Wolf induction cooktop. The countertops and backsplash are crafted from polished black limestone embedded with 400-million-year-old fossils, creating a striking and truly unique black-and-white design. The bathroom has been fully renovated as well, featuring Waterworks fixtures and a brand-new, fully tiled shower. This home is a rare jewel-beautifully finished and seldom found.

Located in the iconic Osborne, a coveted full-service landmark building constructed in 1885, the residence is steeped in architectural and cultural history. The Osborne is renowned for its celebrated past and present residents, including Leonard Bernstein, Lynn Redgrave, and Bobby Short. Apartment 6AC is currently owned by a well-known author and previously served as her writing studio, imbuing the home with undeniable creative energy.

The famed Osborne lobby is a masterpiece in itself, richly decorated in Italian Renaissance and Romanesque Revival styles. Byzantine-inspired details include stucco and mosaic-tiled walls, intricate artistic tile floors paired with varicolored Italian marble slabs, and glazed terracotta Della Robbia panels adorned with deep reds, blues, and gold leaf that grace the walls and ceilings.

50% financing allowed, 3% flip tax paid by buyer, pet friendly, and pied -a- terres allowed.

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.
