Welcome to 457 FDR Drive Apt. A505, a beautifully renovated large 2-bedroom, 1-bath coop in the much sought-after East River Cooperative. Offering approximately 1,100 square feet of expansive living space, this sunny and bright apartment features picturesque views, both east and west. East facing windows look out directly to the East River, the Williamsburg Bridge and the soon-to-be-completed East River Park, while west-facing views are of the co-op's beautifully landscaped private park and grounds below.

The apartment opens into a large foyer, perfect for a work-from-home office space. This area leads into the expansive living/dining area, with breathtaking views of the river from the three oversized windows. There is plenty of space for a big sectional sofa, a media console, and a large dining table to accommodate a dozen friends and family for a dinner party. Adjacent is the beautifully renovated eat-in designer chef's kitchen, perfect for those who love to cook and entertain. Appliances include a Viking 4-burner stove, an extra deep Chef Pro sink, Kitchen Aid dishwasher and a retro-inspired Smeg refrigerator. Custom 'Henrybuilt' walnut cabinetry, Corian countertops, a marble tile backsplash, and gorgeous 'Mosaic House' hand painted cement floor tile complete the space.

The two bedrooms are both king-sized and easily fit additional dressers and/or vanities. The larger of the two rooms has east facing windows with river and bridge views, while the other bedroom faces west with views of the landscaped garden. Each has a large closet. The renovated windowed bathroom has a deep tub with a shower as well as hand-made Moroccan ceramic floor tiles.

The building offers an array of desirable amenities (some for a small fee and/or waitlist), including an on-site parking lot, fitness room, children's playroom, bike and regular storage, and private manicured grounds all exclusively for coop owners. There is also 24-hour security, a 24-hour laundry room, on-site basketball courts and a playground.

The location is unbeatable, with easy access to multiple subways (F, J, M & Z lines), as well as Trader Joe's, Essex Market, The Regal Theater, and a wide selection of nearby restaurants and bars all just a few blocks away. Plus, the soon-to-be-completed East River Park, with multiple playing fields, tennis courts, playgrounds, and bike paths is just outside the front door!
