345 E 57th St

A boutique prewar cooperative constructed in 1929, this 16-story, 32-unit building exemplifies classic Upper East Side residential architecture by Schwartz & Gross. Units are primarily one- and two-bedroom layouts, many retaining original prewar elements such as high beamed or coffered ceilings, decorative fireplaces, hardwood floors, picture moldings, and generous room proportions. Typical interiors include formal entry foyers, separate dining areas or eat-in kitchens, pantry space, and walk-in or built-in closets; several residences offer renovated kitchens and baths alongside period details. Common areas and services are full-service white-glove: 24-hour doorman and attentive live‑in superintendent, lobby recently renovated, on-site laundry, bike room, and complimentary basement storage assigned to apartments. The coop is pet- and pied-à-terre–friendly, permits up to roughly 75% financing, and allows subletting and various purchase types per board rules. There is limited private outdoor space attached to select units and garage parking is not part of the building amenities. Located in the Sutton Place pocket of Manhattan, the building sits close to neighborhood grocers, the East River promenade, convenient transit options, and a mix of boutique shops and restaurants, offering a quiet, well-served residential lifestyle near midtown and downtown destinations.
