Property Description for 153 East 57th Street, 8-C

Residence 8C at 153 East 57th Street presents a rare opportunity to own a meticulously renovated alcove studio at The Gotham Town House, ideally positioned in the heart of Sutton Place. Thoughtfully rebuilt from the studs with an emphasis on both form and function, this sophisticated residence pairs refined finishes with exceptionally intelligent design. Warm Brazilian cherrywood floors anchor the home, while the reimagined layout creates a seamless sense of openness and efficiency. Originally lacking meaningful storage, the apartment was completely transformed to incorporate a custom built dressing closet in addition to two oversized closets, offering an uncommon level of organization for studio living.
The kitchen has been elegantly redesigned to maximize both utility and visual appeal. Outfitted with a curated suite of premium appliances including a Bertazzoni gas range, Bosch dishwasher, Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, and Haier microwave, the space is complemented by custom cabinetry and thoughtful shelving throughout. A glazed kitchen door introduces an architectural element while allowing natural light to flow effortlessly across the home. The bathroom has been fully renovated with a clean, modern sensibility, featuring a sleek glass enclosed standing shower and elevated finishes throughout.
Additional highlights include a custom Murphy bed with built in storage, full time doorman service, garage parking, on site laundry, and a live in superintendent. Maintenance includes all utilities except internet and phone. The building permits subletting, pied à terre ownership, guarantors, corporate ownership, and trust ownership, offering exceptional flexibility for a variety of ownership structures.
Quiet and private, Residence 8C offers a calm retreat moments from some of Manhattan’s finest dining, shopping, and transportation. An impeccably designed home in one of New York City’s most established and convenient neighborhoods.

Midtown East | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Midtown West and Midtown East have a lot in common. They’re bustling, iconic, and full of people. But just like siblings, their personalities can be vastly different. Midtown East is a bit more sophisticated and doesn’t quite have the vivacity and unruliness that its westerly counterpart exudes. 

Midtown East is bordered by 42nd to the south, 59th Street to the north, 5th Avenue to the west, and 3rd Avenue to the east. 

The neighborhood is famous for its high-end stores, tourist attractions, posh hotels (budget ones too), and iconic architecture. Midtown East is also one of the largest financial and business hubs in Manhattan. During normal business hours the sidewalks are full of commuters and people moving from point A to point B. In the early evening, when the masses have left for the day, things suddenly get a little quieter and the sidewalks have a lot less foot traffic.  

Although largely a commercial neighborhood, residential areas of Midtown East do exist on the eastern section of the neighborhood. 

Grand Central Station is located in Midtown East and like Midtown West, it’s an extremely commutable neighborhood. The 4, 5, 6, 7 and S trains whisk people in and out of the neighborhood 24 hours a day. Grand Central Station also serves as a hub for New York State and Connecticut commuter rails. These trains can take you anywhere along the Hudson River or up into Connecticut. It’s perfect for day tripping.
