435 E 57th St APT 12B, Manhattan, NY 10022

Exquisitely crafted by the award-winning design team of Drake Anderson, this is a turnkey residence in the fullest sense: a published, AD100-designed home which seamlessly blends the finest of contemporary finishes with the more traditional prewar details reminiscent of its building's architect, Emory Roth. The architecture, finishes, furnishings, lighting, and technology have been considered as a single composition. Offered fully furnished, with the exception of personal belongings and collectibles, this classic five room, two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence has been completely reconfigured and rebuilt, leaving nothing for its next owner to resolve. The renovation goes well beyond what is immediately visible. Central air, new electrical, and a Josh AI Smart Home technology for sound, lighting, and window treatments form the infrastructure behind interiors executed with Venetian plaster walls, handmade plaster moldings, custom SA Baxter hardware, silk moiré, and hand-painted wallcoverings. Materials repeat from room to room in different ways, giving the apartment a sense of continuity without making the spaces feel uniform. With 9 ft ceilings throughout, the sunny and serene south-facing living room is composed around a fireplace, with pale finishes and sculptural fluted plaster furnishings creating a quiet counterpoint to the rooms beyond. The kitchen shifts the palette completely, pairing darker finishes with a La Cornue range, dark black granite, and rich custom cabinetry. That deeper tone continues into the dining room, where bold red lacquered walls and crimson tile flooring create one of the apartment's most distinctively original spaces. The moods of the bedrooms are very different. The primary bedroom, with its blue-grey silk moiré and hand-painted wallcoverings is dark and moody, with generous custom closet space, and an ultra-luxury statement blue grey marble bath with heated floors, soaking tub, and Waterworks fixtures. The second bedroom, currently arranged as a library, takes a different direction with ochre tones, travertine accents, velvet furnishings, custom bookshelves, its own carefully selected lighting, and exquisitely crafted crème colored marble bath (also appointed in fixtures by Waterworks). Built in 1927, the building offers a 24-hour attended lobby, a live-in Resident Manager, a gym, laundry facilities, and storage. Pets and pieds-a-terre are welcome, and the building recently now permits washer/dryer in unit. Nothing about this home reads as an accumulation of upgrades. The brilliant culmination is the completeness of its composition. From the plasterwork and hardware to the curated furniture and finishings already placed within the rooms, the residence has been conceived, executed, and furnished as a true work of art. Located on one of the prettiest tree-lined streets in the heart of Sutton Place, near the finest restaurants, shopping, and the vibrancy of midtown Manhattan, a trophy property like this only comes around once. Please note there is a flip tax of 2% of the sales price.
