About This Property
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.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.
The living room opens onto the outdoor deck and garden, and the bedroom looks out over the same garden, so both rooms share the outdoor space. The apartment is on the garden level, and the oak flooring runs through the rooms, so the layout feels continuous from one room to the next.
The eat-in kitchen has stone countertops, natural wood cabinetry and a Wolf range with a vented hood, plus an island where you can sit and a dining area for guests. A Murphy bed covers a guest who needs to stay a night or two. The bedroom has a walk-in closet, and the renovated bathroom has marble finishes and a glass-enclosed shower that's easy to keep in view of the rest of the space.
A private garden in the city is uncommon enough to matter.
Morning coffee, dinners outside and a dog that can run freely are easier to manage when the garden is one step from the living room, and pets are allowed in the building. The co-op was built in 1962 and has 20 stories and 83 units. It has a concierge, an elevator and a roof deck, and the apartment has ductless cooling and a patio. The Lexington Avenue and 53rd Street station on the E and F lines is about 10 minutes on foot, and Morton Williams supermarket is about 2 minutes away. East River Walk is about 3 minutes away.
