A QUIET Parisian-like one-bedroom apartment in a small distinguished pre-war cooperative building. The living room is spacious, with French doors opening onto the back of the building and the building garden, facing south. 9-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, and a wood-burning fireplace add to its charm. A well-sized bedroom, also facing south, is big enough for a king-sized bed and has a large closet. The bath is well appointed with good fixtures and a window. It is accessed through a small hall that leads to the kitchen and the bedroom, so there is privacy, but guests can use it without going into the bedroom. The kitchen is big enough to eat in and has stone countertops and custom cabinets. The color palate and materials used in the finishes make this a serene and harmonious living space.

424 East 57th Street has 26 units with a live-in superintendent who receives packages. There is a state-of-the-art video intercom to ensure security. In the back, you'll find a courtyard and garden with seating and a grill for the enjoyment of the tenants. There is also a rooftop garden. In addition, the building has bike storage, a central laundry room, and a library. Pets, subletting, and pieds-a-terre are allowed. The M31 and M57 are a block away as is the M15 and SBS M15 on First and Second Avenues. It is a short trip to the East River Esplanade.
