57 E 75th Street #1F, New York, NY 10021

Description

57 East 75th St, 1F, offers a rare direct access lifestyle usually reserved for multi-million-dollar townhouses. Go from your front door to the sidewalk in seconds with no elevator wait and no lobby small talk. This is pure, private convenience in the heart of the Upper East Side. The building is located on a quintessential Upper East Side tree lined block, moments away from luxury shops and restaurants on Madison Avenue and two blocks from New York City's treasure; Central Park. The unique building facade offers a nod to the minimalist approach to construction presented by the Brutalist architectural style, yet, speaks beautifully with the design aesthetic of the neighborhood with the Breuer building on the corner of East 75th Street and Madison Avenue, and the Guggenheim nearby.

The first floor of this triplex presents a living room with an abundance of sunlight from four large scale south facing windows. This perfectly proportioned room offers contemporary lines from bi-level ceilings and red oak wooden floors juxtaposed with the traditional design of the Italian marble wood burning fireplace.

The second-floor kitchen space can easily accommodate two culinary enthusiasts prepping and cooking side-by-side. The cream-colored cabinetry, marble countertops and high-end appliances, including a Wolf gas stove, encourage home cooked meals. There is an always appreciated built-in pantry for extra storage. Adjacent to the kitchen, is best described as a flex space. Two large scale banquettes frame the space offering a cozy reading nook or gathering space for six. Raising the table from coffee table height to 29 inches, easily accomplished by hydraulics, the space is transformed into a home office with electronics and printer stored in nearby closet or a dining space for upwards of six people.

The third floor includes a renovated bathroom, showcasing a minimalist style with high-end finishes and extra storage space. The large-scale bedroom is saturated in sunshine from four windows facing south, east and west. A standout is the grand walk-in closet with custom cabinetry. For the buyer who values efficiency, accessibility, or the ease of a quick morning outing with the dog, this is the ultimate UES sanctuary.
