Property Description for 345 East 57th Street, 1-B
Welcome to the Maisonette at 345 East 57th Street in the heart of Sutton!
This pre-war gem is awaiting its next owner to restore this exceptional apartment into a masterpiece home. The south-facing 4-room residence offers timeless charm and exciting potential and features one bedroom, one and half bathrooms and a separate "bonus" room.
The layout is as functional as it is elegant. A 12-foot foyer leads to a grand living room featuring oversized windows, a coffered ceiling with intricate plasterwork, and a decorative fireplace. The primary bedroom is equally impressive with two spacious closets and a windowed ensuite bath. The primary bedroom can comfortably fit a king-sized bed with abundant room for additional storage.
Adding versatility is a charming bonus room complete with its own windowed bathroom, which can also accommodate an in-unit washer and dryer. Whether as a guest suite, home office, or personal study, this space enhances the home's appeal. Just off the bonus room, adjacent to the main entrance, is a well-appointed kitchen area.
The current owner has initiated an architect-led restoration, preserving many original details. The plaster walls have been upgraded with a flawless "Level 5" finish and are painted in Benjamin Moore's "Simply White." Original doors, trim, and hardware have been meticulously stripped of 90 years of paint, and the oak floors, in excellent condition, await your custom finish.
Bring your vision and contractor to complete the restoration of this remarkable home or reimagine it with a modern touch. This is a rare opportunity to own a residence with over 900 square feet of historic elegance and endless potential, all at an exceptional value and with low monthly costs.
345 East 57th Street is a well-maintained, full-service co-op in the heart of prime Sutton Place. This boutique building offers just 60 residences and features 24-hour doormen, a live-in superintendent, two elevators, a laundry room and a bike room.

Financing is available up to 75%, with a 2% flip tax split evenly between buyer and seller..

Sutton Place | Manhattan
Quick Profile
Sutton Place is usually described with favorable words like charming, cozy, great neighborhood, hidden gem, sanctuary, or even small village inside a big city. Those descriptions aren’t from real estate folks either, they’re from the people that live and work there, so it must be true.
The quiet and upscale neighborhood is more like an enclave. It’s bounded by East 53rd Street to the south, East 59th Street to the North, First Avenue to the west, and the East River to the east. Most residents will tell you that everything you’ll ever need is located in the neighborhood. When it’s time to venture out into the cityscape, Sutton Place is within easy reach to Midtown and cultural attractions like the Museum of Modern Art, Rockefeller Center, Central Park and other iconic sites.
Manhattan has always had notable celebrity residents. But for unknown reasons, Sutton Place has had more than its share of superstars over the years. Some of the more iconic celebs include: Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller, Freddie Mercury, Sigourney Weaver, Joan Crawford, Michael Jackson and sister Latoya (Just for one summer).
Sutton Place is named after Effingham B. Sutton, a shipping merchant and entrepreneur. After hitting it big in the California gold rush, Sutton built brownstones along East 57th and East 58th streets with aspirations of making the section more residential. Poverty and crime dashed his dreams. The street gangs that hung out along the dead-ends and cul-de-sacs added to the neighborhood’s decay. Sutton was about to give up on his development endeavors but the Vanderbilt’s and the Morgan’s showed up in the 1920s and transformed the neighborhood. It soon became a wealthy enclave.
