Overview of 410 East 57th Street

410 East 57th Street is a 16-story red brick co-op designed by Schwartz & Gross and completed in 1929. The building features a limestone base with a columned entrance, decorative bandcourses, and a distinctive glass solarium on the top floor. Converted from rental to co-op in 1961, the building contains 64 units ranging from one to four bedrooms, many retaining classic pre-war details including herringbone floors, high ceilings (typically 9 to 11 feet), and wood burning fireplaces in some apartments.

Apartments showcase generous proportions with formal entry foyers, separate dining rooms, and windowed kitchens. Some units include maid's rooms, pantries, and en-suite bathrooms. Several apartments feature solariums - stepped up glass enclosed spaces that add architectural interest and light. The penthouses are particularly notable, with one offering over 3,000 square feet of interior space plus 2,150 square feet of wrap-around terraces accessible from most major rooms, complete with three wood burning fireplaces and a self contained upper level suite with its own terrace and kitchenette.

The building provides white glove service with a full time doorman, elevator operator, and live-in resident manager. Amenities include a fitness center, landscaped garden, bike room, central laundry room, and private storage. Mail is delivered directly to apartment doors. The co-op permits pets up to 50 pounds, allows pied-à-terre ownership and co-purchasing, and permits up to 50% financing. A 2% flip tax is paid by the buyer.

Located in the Sutton Place enclave between First Avenue and Sutton Place, the building offers proximity to the East River parks, Whole Foods, the Bridgemarket Trader Joe's, and numerous dining options including Mr. Chow's. The location provides easy access to the FDR Drive and 59th Street Bridge while maintaining the quiet, residential character of one of Manhattan's most architecturally distinguished blocks.
