205 West 57th Street Midtown West Apartment For Sale

Presenting a grand two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath residence in one of Manhattan\'s most prestigious landmark buildings. The Osborne, registered as a New York City landmark, has been among the city\'s most coveted addresses since 1885. Residents are welcomed daily by an opulent lobby that beautifully preserves its 19th-century splendor. Ideally situated just steps from Central Park, diagonally across from Carnegie Hall, and moments from Columbus Circle, the building offers unparalleled access to more than a dozen subway lines.

This dramatic duplex apartment features a south-facing living room with soaring 12+ foot ceilings, original picture moldings, elegant bay windows, and open views of Carnegie Hall and neighboring Billionaires\' Row residences. A magnificent crystal chandelier-perfectly scaled to the room-sets the tone for gracious entertaining. Throughout the home are the original, hand-nailed Versailles parquet floors, a rare and exquisite detail.

A grand circular foyer and expansive living room create an impressive setting for entertaining, while an original 1885 staircase leads to the private upper level. This floor houses two bedrooms, a kitchen with dining area, and a full bathroom appointed with a large Japanese soaking tub and a separate shower. For added convenience, a fully renovated half bath is located on the main level for guests.

The Osborne offers full-service living with a resident manager, a staff of twelve full-time employees, and a 24-hour doorman. Building amenities include a common laundry room (with in-unit washer/dryers permitted), basement storage, a newly renovated fitness center, and a spectacular roof with views of Carnegie Hall, Central Park, and the Times Square New Year\'s Eve ball drop. Dogs and pied-à-terres are permitted,

50% financing is allowed, and a 3% transfer tax is paid by the buyer. An extraordinary opportunity to live on Billionaires\' Row in one of New York City\'s most iconic buildings.
