357 E 57Th St

A mid-century, 19-story cooperative completed in 1958, this full-service Sutton Place address contains a mix of studios, one- and two-bedroom residences. The exterior is a straightforward masonry tower with a modest setback and a furnished roof deck that provides East River and city views. Interiors commonly feature prewar-inspired details updated over time — high ceilings, crown moldings, chandeliers, recessed lighting, and built-in storage — and many apartments show renovations such as granite or quartz counters, stainless appliances, and refinished hardwood floors. Floor plans range from alcove studios to true two-bedroom corners; numerous units offer picture windows and double exposures that capture river, tram, and bridge vistas. Shared resources include a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, central laundry, on-site garage, private storage (waitlist/fee), and building bike storage. The co-op board is flexible in several buyer-facing policies: pied-à-terre, guarantors, co-purchases, sublets, and in-unit washer/dryer installations are permitted with approval; pets are allowed. Located steps from Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, neighborhood dining, and multiple subway and bus lines, the building sits near the East River promenades and Midtown shopping, supporting both daily conveniences and recreational access.
