Here’s an opportunity to live in a Manhattan neighborhood that offers a small-town feel with big-city perks. Asking $1,895,000, this stylish high-floor co-op at 419 East 57th Street in Sutton Place has been renovated but successfully maintains its elegant pre-war aura. Currently set up as a two-bedroom, with the flexibility to make a third, the apartment also comes with a coveted office/staff room on the first floor of the building.

True to its name, the apartment’s gallery is perfect for displaying art pieces and unique decor. It’s also great for storage as there are two closets, one being a walk-in.

The sunny south-facing living room is centered by a wood-burning fireplace that boasts a distinct mantlepiece. Found between the gallery and the living room is a spacious, open dining area, which “could easily be converted” into a third bedroom, according to the listing. This room also has a wet bar.

Next door is the eat-in kitchen, which has a separate staff entrance. Tons of storage space and high-end appliances, including a wine fridge and dishwasher.

Taking up the western corner of the unit are the two established bedrooms. The primary suite has a walk-in closet and an en-suite bath. With its wood-paneled walls and Murphy bed, the second bedroom also makes an ideal cozy library or study.

In addition to the 9th-floor residence, the purchase includes one of the building’s small, windowed office/staff rooms on the first floor. Other perks of the co-op include a 24-hour doorman, a gym, bike storage, a shared laundry room, and landscaped roof deck.
