345 East 57th Street Midtown East Apartment For Sale

Perched on a high floor and bathed in natural sunlight,  Apartment 12A is a beautifully renovated residence that blends timeless prewar elegance with thoughtful modern upgrades. Distinctive architectural moldings on the crown, baseboards, columns, and casings preserve the home's original charm, while oversized mirrored French doors connect the gracious living room to the second bedroom, creating a sense of openness and flow.

Originally a Classic Six, this residence has been reimagined as a spacious two-bedroom, two-bath layout, with custom cabinetry and generous, fitted walk-in closets throughout. The plumbing remains in place to easily reinstate a third bathroom, and a simple wall could convert the space back to a three-bedroom configuration if desired.

High-end finishes include wide-plank, hand-hewn Brazilian cherry flooring and elegant bathrooms featuring marble, slate, and glass tile. All original 7-foot doors have been replaced with solid core 8-foot, two-panel doors for a refined, contemporary feel.

Additional features include:

• In-unit washer/dryer

• Four HVAC units plus an AC unit in the kitchen

• Woodburning fireplace, converted to remote-controlled natural gas

• Expansive, renovated eat-in kitchen with two sinks and extensive storage

• Dedicated storage cage included

• Renovated 12th-floor landing
