303 East 57th St 12B

Oversized 1,300 sq. ft. renovated 1-bedroom residence, with 1.5 bathrooms, windowed eat-in kitchen, and separate den that is also a perfect second bedroom.

A gracious entry foyer with large coat closet and powder room welcomes you into the expansive corner living room, offering sunny East and South exposures through oversized sound-attenuating windows, and opens onto its own large terrace/balcony overlooking 57th Street and the city skyline. The formal dining room has been converted into a den, which can also double as a guest bedroom.

There is a nicely appointed windowed kitchen, featuring Quartz stone counters, breakfast bar, custom-lacquered wood cabinetry, and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, including a Bertazzoni stove and built-in microwave oven, a Fisher&Paykel refrigerator, and LG dishwasher.

The truly sizable south-facing master bedroom has abundant closets and an en suite marble bathroom with glass-enclosed soaking tub and shower.

Designed by Phillip Birnbaum in 1967, the Excelsior offers unmatched white-glove services, including an attentive and prompt staff, 24-hour doorman, concierge, and elevator operators, a state-of-the-art fitness center with spa rooms, swimming pool, and landscaped terrace. The building features a porte cochere, creating a comfortable buffer between the building and the sidewalk, as well as easy access to the onsite parking garage. There is also a beautifully landscaped roof deck, central laundry room, dry cleaning service and valet, and private storage available. Steps from Whole Foods, all transportation, and walking distance to world-class shopping and entertainment. Pied-a-terre friendly, and pets (15 lbs) are welcome.

A real gem and great value, not to be missed!
