345 E 57th St Unit 1B New York City, NY 10022

<p>Welcome to the Maisonette at 345 East 57th Street in the heart of Sutton! This pre-war gem is awaiting its next owner to restore this exceptional apartment into a masterpiece home. The south-facing 4-room residence offers timeless charm and exciting potential and features one bedroom, one and half bathrooms and a separate "bonus" room. As an added benefit, there are existing DOB approvals in place to convert the home's half bathroom into a full bathroom and add an in unit washer and dryer. The layout is as functional as it is elegant. A 12-foot foyer leads to a grand living room featuring oversized windows, a coffered ceiling with intricate plasterwork, and a decorative fireplace. The primary bedroom is equally impressive with two spacious closets and a windowed ensuite bath. Adding versatility is a charming bonus room complete with its own windowed bathroom, which can also accommodate an in-unit washer and dryer. Whether as a guest suite, home office, or personal study, this space enhances the home's appeal. Just off the bonus room, adjacent to the main entrance, is a well-appointed kitchen area. The current owner has initiated an architect-led restoration, preserving many original details. The plaster walls have been upgraded with a flawless "Level 5" finish and are painted in Benjamin Moore's "Simply White." Original doors, trim, and hardware have been meticulously stripped of 90 years of paint, and the oak floors, in excellent condition, await your custom finish. Bring your vision and contractor to complete the restoration of this remarkable home or reimagine it with a modern touch. This is a rare opportunity to own a residence with over 900 square feet of historic elegance and endless potential, all at an exceptional value and with low monthly costs. 345 East 57th Street is a well-maintained, full-service co-op in the heart of prime Sutton Place.
