One of the most ambitious (and expensive) condominium conversions in Manhattan real estate history, The Sheffield has emerged as a bona fide success story among NYC condos -- and as one of the most sought-after condo listings in Midtown Manhattan. While The Sheffield's prime Midtown West location gave it a leg up -- at 322 West 57th Street, The Sheffield is convenient to just about everything that makes Midtown Manhattan Midtown Manhattan -- this is one blockbuster new condo listing whose success isn't hard to figure. The top-to-bottom renovation that accompanied The Sheffield's conversion from a luxury rental building to a high-end condominium resulted in both state-of-the-art amenities and some of the most elegant and well-appointed apartments for sale in Manhattan.

The apartments for sale at The Sheffield are available in a number of floor plans, and in sizes ranging from studio apartments to four-bedroom apartments, but every Sheffield condo meets the same high aesthetic standard. Which means that Sheffield apartments are, uniformly, spacious, gracious, bathed in natural light thanks to oversized (and energy-efficient) windows, and appointed with the highest of high-end fixtures and finishes. Such old-school Manhattan condo luxuries as hardwood floors -- Nordic ash, in this case -- and oversized closets share space with the most contemporary of modern condo comforts. The Sheffield's gourmet kitchens are outfitted in top-of-the-line appliances from such brands as Miele, Bosch and SubZero, custom Italian cabinetry and Calacatta marble counters. The Sheffield's gracious baths, for their part, feature dual sinks, soaking tubs and honed travertine floors, walls and countertops. Few NYC condos can match The Sheffield's combination of elite location, gracious apartments for sale and hotel-style amenities.

The Sheffield's suite of amenities is every bit as impressive as the apartments for sale. All of the conveniences New Yorkers expect from a luxury condominium are in place at The Sheffield, from the 24-hour doorman to the ace concierge staff to the attended parking garage. The amenities at The Sheffield go well beyond the basics, though -- The Sheffield's state-of-the-art fitness facility, for instance, is equipped with top-of-the-line exercise equipment, a Yoga/Pilates studio, and his-and-hers spa area complete with sauna and steam room. The Sheffield's glass-enclosed rooftop pool is a boon for swimmers, but the three sundecks surrounding it ensure that it makes for a scenic space in which to lounge around. The Sheffield's children's playroom is well-appointed with fun stuff for the younger set, and the residents-only lounge has every amusement an adult could want, from billiards and game tables to a big-screen TV. And, of course, there's that location at 332 West 57th Street -- just steps from the subway, a stone's throw from Carnegie Hall, and a short walk from Columbus Circle and Central Park. Add it all up, and it's easy to see why The Sheffield has become a breakout star among NYC condos, and one of the most sought-after apartment listings in Midtown Manhattan.
