Ready for THE one? This move-in ready corner 2 bedroom (flex 3), 2 bath has a wonderful flow, big windows and loads of closets. Offering generous proportions, four exposures, and a very flexible layout, this home definitely checks off all the boxes. It may have been hard to imagine finding such a fabulous home at such a reasonable price, but the opportunity is here -- and now. The entry hallway has several closets and opens into an expansive living area. The ultra-spacious living room and separate dining alcove get steady southern light from large windows spanning the entire width of the apartment. The renovated galley kitchen opens to the dining area and offers loads of counter-space, cabinet storage, and stainless appliances. With two entrances, it can be reconfigured in multiple ways to suit your needs, whether it's creating an open plan with breakfast bar or making a new 3rd room for use as an office or play space. The floors in the living space and kitchen have been changed from the original parquet. Nicely separated from the living space are two big bedrooms. The primary bedroom suite is especially large, with both south and east exposures and an en suite windowed bath in classic white and gray. The second bedroom, also well-sized, has north and east facing windows, along with a huge walk-in closet. The second bathroom is located in the adjoining hallway, making it perfect for guests. Storage is easy with a total of 5 closets (and room to add more). Through-wall air conditioning ensures year-round control and comfort at your fingertips, and an in-unit washer and dryer offers daily convenience. Have a pet or want part-time living -- this building is friendly to both. Should you need an immediate move-in or want the opportunity to update to your style, this impeccably maintained and value-priced home meets either option. 357 East 57th Street is an established co-op with a wonderful staff, offering 24-hour doorman service and a live-in resident manager, a furnished roof deck, central laundry, and in-building garage parking (additional charge). Ideally located close to multiple subway and bus lines (4/5/N/Q/R/W/M31/M57/M15), excellent grocery stores (Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Morton Williams), the beautiful Sutton Place parks, and easy FDR access.
