Description

Welcome to 227 East 57th Street, #14G!

This elegant 2-bedroom, 2-bath corner prewar apartment spans the entire back of the building, offering three exposures, abundant light, and exceptional privacy. Both the corner living room and corner primary suite feature double exposures with sweeping Upper East Side skyline views from every room.

The seller has just installed 10 brand-new, dual-paned energy-efficient windows and new A/C units throughout. These enhance comfort and lower energy costs — a rare and highly desirable upgrade in a prewar home. With this investment already completed, the residence offers the perfect blend of prewar charm and modern efficiency.

Inside, you’ll find hardwood floors, high ceilings, and a gracious foyer with walk-in closet. The oversized living room offers space for both seating and dining, with a built-in entertaining nook. The renovated, windowed kitchen features custom cabinetry and stainless steel appliances.

The corner primary bedroom has three windows with iconic Queensborough Bridge and tram views, two walk-in closets, and a windowed en-suite bath with original prewar details. The second bedroom is equally generous, with an en-suite bath, two closets, and northeast views.

Built in 1930 by Boak & Paris, 227 East 57th boasts an Art Deco lobby, wood-paneled elevator, 24/7 doorman, live-in super, laundry with new machines, storage, and bike room. Pets are welcome, and co-purchasing, parents buying for children, and pied-à-terres (case-by-case).

The building’s standout feature is its remarkably flexible sublet policy: after just one year of residency, you may sublet indefinitely—an unusual advantage among Manhattan co-ops!

Perfectly located in Midtown East, Whole Foods sits just across the street, with Trader Joe’s and Morton Williams only blocks away. Multiple subway lines (4/5/6, N/R/W, E/F/Q) and several bus routes ensure effortless access across the city. The neighborhood features some of Manhattan’s most iconic dining—Mr. Chow, Wolfgang Puck, and Tao—alongside beloved local favorites such as Crave FishBar, Neary’s, and Coco Pazzeria. For recreation, both Central Park and the newly expanded East River Promenade are minutes away, while fitness options abound with Equinox, Crunch, Orangetheory, CorePower Yoga, and Sutton East Tennis Club all nearby.

Don’t miss this opportunity to own a corner apartment with 10 brand-new, energy-efficient windows, abundant light, skyline views, and one of Manhattan’s most flexible sublet policies — all in the vibrant heart of Midtown East. Listing courtesy of Compass ...
