SPRAWLING CLASSIC 6Nine-foot beamed ceilings, architectural details and original oak wood floors exude the prewar elegance and charm of this mint condition Classic 6. The high-floor home offers oversized rooms and windows with open and sunny north, south and east exposures. Located in the exclusive Sutton Place area, this intimate building has only 32 units and two apartments on each landing.A majestic vestibule flows through the arched entry into a graceful foyer, leading to the grand living room framed at one end by a large north-facing picture window. Additional light streams in through a window facing east, which also reveals an endless view stretching out to the East River. A wood burning fireplace with a stone mantle makes for cozy winter nights.Two sets of French doors provide access to the stately formal dining room, also illuminated by a large picture window, from both the foyer and living room. The windowed chef's kitchen features a large pantry, generous Carrara marble countertops, and a mosaic Calacatta Lagos Azul backsplash. The top-of-the-line appliances include a Thermador industrial oven, Subzero refrigerator and a Bosch dishwasher. The spacious master bedroom suite is bathed in southern light and outfitted with built-in bookshelves and cabinetry, a wall of closets as well as one walk-in, and a renovated windowed master bath graced by Carrara marble. The second bedroom, currently used as a den, also faces south, contains two well-appointed closets, one of which is a cedar, and has an ensuite renovated marble bath with a mosaic tile floor.Located off the vestibule, a huge maid's room with a renovated half-bath and large utility closet can easily be used as a third bedroom. 350 East 57th Street is a full-service prewar cooperative with a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent and private storage. A bucolic roof top terrace, reminiscent of a European villa, provides the ultimate escape from city life.
