345 E 56Th St

A 21-story post‑war cooperative completed in 1960, this Sutton Place residence offers a mix of studios through three‑bedroom layouts across a masonry tower. Apartments commonly feature high ceilings, formal entry foyers, open or flexible floorplans with defined dining areas, generous built‑in storage, walk‑in closets and recessed lighting; many homes include windowed kitchens, pantry space and in some listings grandfathered washer/dryer hookups. The building’s handsomely maintained common areas include a staffed 24‑hour doorman desk, a live‑in superintendent, renovated lobby and an elevated landscaped roof deck with East River and Manhattan views. Residents access practical conveniences on site: a bike room, central laundry, private storage bins and a garage (available for an extra fee, often with a wait list). Outdoor private terraces of various sizes appear in some units. The co‑op permits co‑purchasing, guarantors and, on a case‑by‑case basis, pieds‑à‑terre; pets are allowed with weight restrictions and board approval. Located on East 56th Street, the building sits in a quiet, tree‑lined Sutton Place enclave near the East River Esplanade, multiple subway lines and neighborhood grocery and retail options, favoring those who want full‑service building living with easy Midtown and Upper East Side access.
