205 W 57th Street #3DB, Manhattan, NY 10019

<p>A true duplex at The Osborne, with a grand entertaining floor downstairs and a private bedroom level above. Two-bedroom residences are rarely available under $2 million in New York, and rarer still in a landmark, full-service building a block from Central Park. The south-facing living room has 12-foot-plus ceilings, original picture moldings, and bay windows framing open views of Carnegie Hall. A crystal chandelier scaled to the room hangs above hand-nailed Versailles parquet floors, with a circular foyer leading into the unit as a grand entry. A renovated half bath for guests sits on this floor as well.</p><p>An original 1885 staircase leads to the private level: two bedrooms, an eat-in kitchen, and a full bath with a deep Japanese soaking tub and separate shower. Entertaining stays downstairs and daily life happens upstairs.The plumbing and electrical systems have been updated so if you would like to make it your own, it would only require cosmetic changes. That is the value...
