About the Listing 219 - 33877,64337

With its easy elegance, #3C is ideally located on the most charming block of East 57th Street. This tradition-steeped residence functions beautifully in the modern world. It is the perfectly balanced prewar condominium: high beamed ceilings, magnificent marble fireplace, solid paneled doors with original brass hardware, detailed moldings, and rich hardwood floors. The modern enhancements include a handsome kitchen with professional grade stainless steel appliances, marble countertops and backsplash, as well as a washer/dryer. Both windowed bathrooms have been exquisitely renovated. Throughout this gracious 2 bedroom/2 bathroom home, there is a warmth, simplicity, and seamless continuity between past and present. Completed in 1929, 444 East 57th Street is one of the rare prewar Manhattan condominiums. This full-service building has only 60 units, a 24-hour doorman, attended elevator, and resident manager. With its limestone fa ade and vaulted marble lobby, this distinguished Sutton Place building, has a history of housing celebrities. The notable residents have included Marilyn Monroe and her 3rd husband Arthur Miller, fashion designer Bill Blass, and my personal favorite-the Fred Astaire of saloon singers, Bobby Short. It is also conveniently located near transportation at 59th Street and Lexington, an assortment of crosstown buses, and various neighborhood garages. Condominium purchase is friendly to international buyers, flexible financing, corporate, LLC, trust, and pied-a-terre options. Pets are permitted. There is currently a $343.75 monthly assessment in place.
