220 E 57Th St

A mid-rise cooperative on East 57th Street in Midtown East, this 20-story, post‑war building dates to 1970 and contains about 61 units configured mostly as studios and one-bedrooms. The exterior presents a blue‑brick façade and a canopied, attended entry that leads into recently refreshed common areas. Apartments typically feature high ceilings, recessed lighting, eat‑in or galley kitchens with built‑in cabinetry, generous closet and pantry storage, and windowed bathrooms; many units have been renovated with marble or hardwood finishes and some include small private outdoor terraces or balconies. Shared building amenities emphasize daily convenience and service: a 24‑hour doorman, live‑in superintendent, two elevators, central laundry, bike storage and additional storage lockers (fee-based). The co‑op’s policies are flexible for a full‑service building: pets are permitted with board approval, co‑purchasing and guarantors are allowed, pieds‑à‑terre and mortgage financing around 80% are typical, and subletting is permitted after one year. Maintenance packages generally include heat and hot water and occasionally cable; occasional assessments have been levied for building projects. Situated between Sutton Place and Billionaires’ Row, the location places grocery shopping (Whole Foods), higher‑end retail, restaurants, Central Park and multiple subway lines within short walking distance.
