Lovely, commodious & well proportioned five and one-half rooms on high floor in classic Emery Roth Bldg., located on tranquil & leafy far-end of East 57th Street. The area has been home to many notable writers and show business luminaries (from the old Hollywood) during the 'Golden Age' of New York -- 40s, 50s, 60s) who appreciated the ambiance, tranquility and seclusion of the neighborhood, yet only a short distance from Manhattan's mid-town epicenter!The apartment features an oversize living room, 2 large and commodious bedrooms with bath, all with open south views across East 57th Street -- suffused with ample warm southern light. The apartment would benefit from some renovation -- the existing layout allows much flexibility in modifying the original floor plan, particularly in the rear rooms: kitchen, staffroom (now office) dining area, half bath, hall way.The apartment provides a rare opportunity to acquire a classic prewar gem with the timeless, understated elegance of Emery Roth design!
