227 E 57Th St

A 20-story, pre-war cooperative constructed in 1930 and located on East 57th Street in Sutton Place. The building displays Art Deco influences in a renovated marble-and-wood lobby and retains period details such as beamed or high ceilings, original moldings, and wood-paneled elevators. Unit mix ranges from one- to three-bedroom apartments, many with hardwood floors, generous closets, windowed kitchens and baths, and some with private balconies or small outdoor spaces. Common building features include a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, elevator service, on-site laundry room, bike and private storage, and a recently refreshed lobby that preserves historical character. Pet-friendly policies are consistently noted, and the co-op permits pied-a-terre ownership, co-purchasing, guarantors, and flexible financing (up to commonly offered percentages). Operational rules are owner-friendly in several listings: unlimited subletting after one year and board approval for in-unit washers/dryers in many cases, with some sponsor units offered without board approval. The address benefits from immediate neighborhood conveniences—grocery stores, restaurants, retail, and multiple subway lines—while nearby Sutton Place Park and proximity to Midtown destinations contribute to a mixed residential-and-urban lifestyle.
