411 E 57Th St

A mid-century, 17-story cooperative built in 1959 and containing about 45 residences, this Sutton Place building presents a classic full-service Manhattan profile. Units range primarily from studios to one-bedrooms, with occasional larger corner residences and some two-bedroom conversions; many homes feature entry foyers, formal dining areas or alcoves, built-in shelving, generous closets and period details such as parquet or hardwood floors. The co-op’s public areas have been periodically refreshed, and residents rely on a staffed front desk with 24-hour doorman service and a live-in superintendent for building operations. Shared amenities emphasize practical urban living: a planted rooftop deck with panoramic views, bicycle storage, rentable private storage bins, centralized laundry and an on-site garage. Several apartments include private outdoor terraces or balconies of varying sizes. The building’s management permits pets and allows pied-à-terre ownership and gifting with board approval; financing up to 70% is commonly allowed. Parking and easy access to storage and bike facilities support active commuters. Situated on East 57th Street near the East River Esplanade and Sutton Place parks, the building sits within a quiet residential stretch yet close to grocery options, restaurants and transit links including access to the Queensboro Bridge and FDR Drive. The neighborhood balance of riverfront green space and retail conveniences frames a lifestyle that blends traditional co-op governance with everyday urban accessibility.
