345 E 54Th St

A mid-century, seven-story cooperative in Midtown East (Sutton Place) built in 1960, the building reads as an intimate, elevator-serviced walk-up with mostly studio and one‑bedroom residences. The façade and massing are modest and residential in scale, fitting the low-rise, tree-lined character of East 54th Street. Interiors typically feature hardwood floors, separate or galley kitchens, windowed bathrooms, multiple closets, and through‑the‑wall air conditioners; some units have been renovated with stone counters and upgraded appliances. Shared spaces include a recently refreshed lobby and hallways, a ground‑floor laundry room, video intercom entry, and a live‑in superintendent. Outdoor amenity space is small and garden‑oriented, with a building garden and street trees providing seasonal greenery. Operationally the coop permits up to 80% financing, has favorable tax-deduction practices reported in listings, and enforces standard board approval for pets and subletting rules (varies by unit tenure). Convenience is a defining trait: the property sits steps from transit options, neighborhood grocery and fitness options, restaurants, and a Parks Department recreation center across the street that supplies a pool and gym. Parking is not mentioned, and the building’s scale and unit mix skew toward owner-occupiers and investors seeking compact, well-located Manhattan homes rather than large-family layouts.
