345 E 57th St

Completed in 1929 by architects Schwartz and Gross, this 16-story boutique prewar cooperative on East 57th Street presents classic Manhattan proportions and traditional masonry façades. The building contains primarily two- and one-bedroom residences arranged around gracious entry foyers and formal living and dining rooms; many apartments retain hallmark prewar details such as beamed and high ceilings, decorative fireplaces, crown moldings, oversized picture windows and hardwood floors. Interiors commonly include defined dining areas, eat-in kitchens, walk-in closets, separate pantries and windowed baths; several units have been renovated to add modern kitchens, washers/dryers, and built-in storage while maintaining original character. Common spaces are full-service and staff-supported, with a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, newly renovated lobby, private and bike storage, and central laundry. The co-op is pet- and pied-à-terre-friendly with flexible subletting and financing policies and a modest flip-tax. Located in Sutton Place, the building sits a short walk from the East River esplanade, grocery and specialty markets, transit options, and neighborhood parks, offering a quiet, residential urban setting with easy midtown access.
