333 E 55Th St

A 14-story full-service cooperative erected in 1962, this Sutton Place residence blends midcentury apartment architecture with updated interior finishes. The property contains a mix of one- and two-bedroom homes plus larger four-bedroom configurations and adaptable alcove studios that are often converted into junior one- or two-bedroom layouts. Typical apartment features include high ceilings, defined entrance foyers and formal dining areas, extensive built-in storage and walk-in closets, renovated kitchens and baths in many units, and parquet or hardwood floors. Shared outdoor spaces are notable: a landscaped courtyard and garden, an elongated courtyard patio, and a southern-facing roof deck with skyline views. Building amenities are aimed at convenience and daily living—24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, central laundry, bike and storage rooms, on-site garage (wait list), and a fitness center. The co-op board allows pieds-à-terre, guarantors, co-purchases and up to 75% financing in many cases; pet rules permit cats but generally prohibit dogs, with occasional exceptions noted. Located on a tree-lined block one block from the East River and Sutton Place parks, the building sits within easy walking distance of multiple subway lines and neighborhood groceries, cafes and services, offering a quiet, residential Midtown East lifestyle with strong transit access.
