357 E 57Th St

A midcentury full-service co-op on Manhattan’s East Side, built in 1958 and rising 19 stories with 53 residences that range from studios to one- and two-bedroom layouts. The exterior reads as a traditional postwar tower with practical massing and a modest street-level marble lobby; interiors mix original prewar-inspired details (high ceilings, crown moldings) with later modern upgrades. Units commonly feature spacious entry foyers, defined dining areas or alcoves, built-in storage and generous closets, recessed lighting, granite or marble counters, and many kitchens with breakfast bars or islands. Several apartments include private outdoor space under 60 sq ft or expansive terraces in the upper floors. Shared facilities are oriented toward daily convenience and city living: a furnished roof deck, central laundry room, building storage and bike storage, in-building garage parking (additional charge), and a staffed on-site team including a 24-hour doorman and live-in superintendent. The co-op’s governance allows pets, pied-a-terre ownership, subletting and in-unit washer/dryers in many units, with occasional capital assessments. Located in the Sutton Place/Midtown East corridor, the building sits close to multiple subway lines, bus routes, the FDR Drive, waterfront parks, and neighborhood groceries and shopping, supporting an urban lifestyle focused on transit access, retail, and nearby green space.
