440 E 56Th St

A midcentury 13-story cooperative on Manhattan’s East Side, constructed in 1955 and comprising three-bedroom and one-bedroom residences alongside studios and flexible junior-four layouts. The building’s red-brick façade and angled corner windows create varied exposures; many homes feature generous foyers, separate dining areas, windowed kitchens, abundant closets and classic hardwood or parquet floors. Interior finishes across units range from original period details to fully renovated kitchens and marble baths, with repeated features such as soaking tubs, double vanities and built-in storage. Common spaces emphasize calm and greenery: two planted private gardens and a roof deck provide outdoor retreat options, while a planted courtyard and ground-level seating offer quieter moments. Building services are full-service white-glove co-op style with 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, central laundry, bike room, and on-site storage; some storage has waitlists. Practical policies include pied-à-terre and pet allowances, financing up to typical co-op limits, and board-regulated subletting. Located in Sutton Place near the East River esplanade, the property sits on a tree-lined block close to grocery options, restaurants, the Town Tennis Club, cross-town bus service and nearby subway lines, combining a residential neighborhood atmosphere with Midtown convenience.
