Description

Calling all architects! Create a huge, sun-flooded one bedroom with southern exposures from huge sash windows, grand living space and separate kitchen. Can be a huge one bedroom, one bath, with powder room or loft space with vaulted brick ceilings and sunshine all day. The Osborne is one of the great pre-war cooperatives on West 57th Street, AKA “Billionaire’s Row”.

All the right “bones” exist to customize an exceptional layout for a unique one-of-a-kind full time home or pied-a-terre. Need more space? Adjacent is a 2-3 bedroom duplex terraced penthouse with private outdoor space. (See listing for 11/12A). Enjoy exciting open city views and watch the ball drop on New Year’s Eve from the Osborne roof!

The Osborne, like the Dakota, is one of the finest examples of turn of the century architecture in Manhattan. With an unparalleled location across from Carnegie Hall, around the corner from Central Park at the crossroads of everything happening in town, the landmarked Osborne is a rare surviving example of the 1880’s gilded-age famous for its elaborate entrance and richly appointed lobby. Built for the prominent citizens of the day, and home to countless luminaries over the years, the Osborne retains its elegant and important history.

Pet and pied-a-terre friendly. Flip tax 3%. *Please note that at the current price, the seller is offering a closing credit of $27,432 which is the equivalent, at the current maintenance, of a $762 monthly credit against the maintenance for a three year period. Actual current monthly maintenance is $3,520.88. This residence is being sold “as is.” Cash Only.
