Overview of 455 East 57th Street

455 East 57th Street is a distinguished pre-war cooperative built in 1927 by Kenneth Murchison. This handsome 16-story red-brick building houses only 42 residences, offering an exclusive and serene living experience. Residents benefit from a full-time doorman, a live-in resident manager, and a charming lobby and elevator that reflect the building’s historic character.

The cooperative permits pied-Ă -terre ownership, is pet-friendly, and allows for up to 70% financing. A 2% flip tax is payable by the buyer.

Located on a quiet, tree-lined block near Sutton Place, the building enjoys proximity to transportation, the East River Esplanade, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and an array of excellent restaurants and shops. While not directly near a subway, the area is served by convenient cross-town buses. Despite being close to traffic along First Avenue and the Queensboro Bridge, the block maintains a peaceful atmosphere. Nearby amenities include a park overlooking the East River and a well-regarded supermarket under the Queensboro Bridge.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
