Property Description for 57 East 77th Street

Own a prime piece of income producing property off Museum Mile on a storied Upper East Side Historic block. 57 East 77th Street is centered among some of the finest medical services, excellent schools, and public transportation – not to mention Central Park, elegant boutiques, and diverse restaurants. This renovated six story rental building offers numerous opportunities. Just East of Madison Avenue, on an architecturally significant block, this unique red brick building currently houses twelve income producing rental units. Photos include representative units. The building is 18.9' x 56' on a 18.9' x 102' lot.

Renovations in 2008 included refreshing the facade, showcasing its large windows, ironwork and stunning red brick. The residential units are made up of twelve occupied apartments (two studios, three two bedrooms, and seven one bedrooms). All the rear units, and the two penthouses have outdoor space. Ten are free market and two are stabilized. Kitchens and baths are renovated, and many units have exposed brick, hardwood floors, split a/c units, terraces, and soaring ceilings. Laundry room is in the basement, and the elegant hallways, roof and boiler are well maintained.

57 East 77th Street is on a storied block where some buildings date to the 19th Century. “Most of the block was built up in 1877, with rows of houses for moderately well to do,” wrote Christopher Gray in his 2004 ‘Streetscapes’ column in ‘The New York Times’. He notes the Beaux-Arts house next door where Robert Redford played a CIA employee in “Three Days of the Condor”. The neighborhood is anchored by nearby medical facilities such as Lenox Hill Hospital, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York Presbyterian Hospital, schools such as PS 6, PS 77 Lower Lab, Birch Wathen Lenox, Marymount, Regis, Hewitt, Allen-Stevenson, Brearley, Spence, Chapin, Dalton, Lycee Francais, Eleanor Roosevelt and many more. Area restaurants include Cafe Boulud, JoJo, Paola's, JG Melon, EJ's, Candle Cafe, Persepolis, Three Guys, Bluestone Lane at the Church of Heavenly Rest on Fifth Avenue, and much more. Museum Mile includes the Frick Collection, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Neue Galerie, The Met Breuer and the Guggenheim. Upper East Side Stores include: Bloomingdales, The Apple Store, Ralph Lauren, Citarella, Butterfield, Gristedes, and a myriad of shops and boutiques.

This boutique building on a prime Upper East Side block is well situated for conversion to live with income, condominium conversion, long-term hold with upgrades while maintaining solid income, and of course a modern single unit home. Please contact exclusive brokers for more information.

Upper East Side | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.

With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.

Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .

There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
