430 E 57Th St

A distinguished prewar cooperative on Sutton Place, built in 1926 and rising 16 stories with just 29 units, this McKim, Mead & White–designed property preserves classic 1920s architecture and proportions. Residences are largely two-bedroom Classic Six–style layouts or reconfigurations thereof, characterized by high (about 9') beamed ceilings, original oak strip hardwood floors, oversized multi-pane casement windows, built-in bookshelves and millwork, and working wood-burning fireplaces. Many apartments have been sensitively renovated to add modern kitchens with high-end appliances, marble baths, windowed service areas, and in some cases reimagined maid’s rooms or staff bathrooms turned into expanded kitchens, dens or additional bedrooms. Common areas and services reflect white-glove full-service living: a staffed lobby with full-time doorman, elevator operators, a live-in superintendent, and on-site maintenance. Building amenities include a landscaped courtyard and garden, a fitness room, bicycle storage, central laundry facilities, and private storage rooms; select units convey private outdoor space or Juliet balconies. The coop is pet-friendly with board approval and permits in-unit washer/dryer in many cases; it allows pied-à-terre ownership, corporate purchases, and limited financing terms. Situated on a tree-lined stretch near Sutton Place and the East River pocket parks, the building offers a quiet, residential feel while being minutes from Midtown, transit, grocery shopping and neighborhood restaurants.
