57th Street Report
Oscar-winning actress Jessica Chastain has reintroduced her elegant Manhattan co-op to the market, now priced at $6.49 million—a notable reduction from its previous $7.45 million listing.
A Gilded Age Gem in the Heart of Manhattan
Situated within The Osborne at 205 West 57th Street, this four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom residence spans approximately 3,200 square feet. The building, constructed between 1883 and 1885, is renowned for its Gilded Age architecture and has housed luminaries such as Leonard Bernstein and Bobby Short.
Timeless Elegance Meets Modern Comfort
The apartment boasts 14-foot ceilings, restored mahogany paneling, and five wood-burning fireplaces—one of which was uncovered during renovations in the primary bedroom. Original features like Tiffany Studio leaded glass transoms, plaster crown moldings, and oak parquet floors enhance its historic charm.
The kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring a pastel blue custom island, a rolling ladder for high cabinets, and top-of-the-line appliances. The primary suite offers a wall of mirrored closets, a fireplace, and an en-suite bathroom with a bespoke copper soaking tub, dual sinks, and a walk-in shower.
Chastain and her husband, Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo, collaborated with the esteemed design firm Carrier and Company to renovate the space. The result is a harmonious blend of period details and modern amenities, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the home.
Prime Location with Exclusive Amenities
Located across from Carnegie Hall and near Central Park, The Osborne offers residents a newly renovated gym, storage facilities, 24/7 door attendants, a resident manager, and a landscaped rooftop terrace with stunning city views.
A Home Rich in History and Character
Chastain purchased the apartment in 2015 for $5.1 million from composer Adam Guettel. She has expressed a deep appreciation for the home’s artistic lineage, noting the significance of its previous owners and the inspiration she drew from them.
Listing Information
The property is listed with Cathy Taub and Ellen Kapit of Sotheby’s International Realty. For those interested in owning a piece of New York’s rich cultural tapestry, this residence offers an unparalleled opportunity.
