Property Description for 440 East 57th Street, 1-G

Over 1,300 SF of PRIVATE outdoor space - larger than most townhouse gardens!

Located in the garden level of the full-service cooperative at 440 East 57th Street, this beautifully renovated one-bedroom home opens onto an extraordinary private outdoor retreat measuring 34 feet by 41 feet. Framed by mature trees, layered stonework, ivy-covered walls, and multiple seating areas, the garden feels worlds away from Midtown Manhattan. Morning coffee, outdoor dinners, a glass of wine beneath the trees, or simply watching your dog run freely in your own private outdoor space, here you're not just buying an apartment, here you are buying a lifestyle. This size and quality of outdoor space is rare in Manhattan; at this price it's unheard of. (The maintenance costs are also unusually low for an apartment with this much outdoor space.)

Inside, the apartment has been nicely renovated with a warm, understated modern aesthetic. Wide plank oak flooring runs throughout, while oversized windows and glass doors draw greenery into the space. The high ceilings, extra-large rooms and generous closet space make this one bedroom feel exceptionally large.
The spacious living room stretches nearly 25 feet long and flows seamlessly onto the outdoor deck and garden beyond, creating a true indoor-outdoor living experience rarely found in Manhattan. Custom built-ins, crown molding, and integrated lighting give the space a polished yet comfortable feel.

The oversized eat-in chef's kitchen has been tastefully renovated with natural wood cabinetry, stone countertops, abundant storage, and a wolf range with a vented range. There is ample room for dining, entertaining, or working from home while still maintaining an open and airy flow throughout the apartment. There is plenty of space to gather in this apartment - you can sit casually at the kitchen island, or have guests over for dinner in the dining area. There is even a murphy bed for when guests need to stay a couple of nights.

The bedroom enjoys tranquil garden views and excellent closet space, including a walk-in closet, while the renovated bathroom features marble finishes, a large glass-enclosed shower, and generous storage.

For dog lovers, this home is truly exceptional. Instead of elevators, long hallway walks, or late-night trips outside, your private garden becomes an extension of your living space, which dramatically changes day-to-day life in the city.

440 East 57th Street is a full-service cooperative with a 24-hour doorman, resident manager, landscaped roof deck, laundry room, storage, and a newly refurbished facade. Located in the heart of Sutton Place, the building enjoys a uniquely peaceful residential atmosphere while remaining moments from Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, excellent restaurants, the East River Esplanade, and convenient transportation access including the 59th Street Bridge and FDR Drive.

Pets are welcome. Pieds-à-terre permitted case-by-case.

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.
