The Bamford, an especially spacious Midtown East apartment building, was completely remodeled in 1993. Around the corner from Central Park, the Bamford has a large lobby in a plaza with tasteful sidewalk landscaping.
The 19-floor post-war mid-rise offers a stunning rooftop spa featuring an enclosed swimming pool, saunas, showers, sun terrace, and party room. The rest of the Bamford boasts a sundeck, 24-hour doorman, bicycle room, storage space, custom-designed corridors with crown molding and live foliage, water filtration system, children's playroom, on-site garage with security guard, valet service and video security. Many apartments have balconies, some protruding and some recessed.
Standing on 55th Street and 2nd Avenue, the Bamford plays host to plenty of neighborhood amenities as well as quick access to the City. This is a quiet street, close to small parks on Sutton Place to the east and near the Manhattan Art and Antique Center. There is good cross-town bus service on 57th Street. The building is convenient to the Queensborough Bridge three blocks to the north. There are diverse restaurants, medical facilities, and houses of worship in the vicinity.
