333 E 57th St

333 East 57th Street is a prewar, 15-story cooperative completed in 1927 and designed in the Garden Style by Cox and Holden with historic interiors by Dorothy Draper. The building contains roughly a dozen to a few dozen residences (the property is operated as a low-density coop with two to three units per floor in many stacks) and offers a mix of one- and multi-bedroom apartments as well as large four-bedroom floor-through homes and a penthouse. Architecturally it presents classic prewar proportions: high ceilings (around nine feet or more), oversized picture windows, hardwood floors, crown moldings, marble foyer details and wood-burning fireplaces in select units. Interiors commonly include eat-in kitchens, formal dining rooms, built-in cabinetry, abundant closets and occasional den or staff rooms; many homes incorporate modernized kitchens and mechanicals while retaining original millwork and period detail. Common areas and services reflect white-glove coop management: a staffed 24-hour doorman, resident manager or live-in superintendent, daily porters, a renovated elegant lobby, and building systems that support pied-a-terre ownership and pets. Outdoor amenities include a landscaped private garden and a large roof deck; many apartments have private outdoor terraces or small private outdoor spaces. Practical conveniences include large basement storage cages, on-site laundry facilities or in-unit washers in renovated homes, and access to nearby grocery, fitness clubs and transit. The property occupies a tree-lined block adjacent to Sutton Place and the East River, offering a quiet residential setting within Midtown East.
