Overview of 237 East 54th Street

237 East 54th Street is a boutique pre war co-op built in 1900 on a tree lined block in Midtown East's Sutton Place area. The four story walk up building contains just 16 units and retains much of its original character, including a welcoming entrance with Victorian style wallpaper, a skylit stairwell, and naturally lit hallways. The building features a live-in super and intercom system, with well maintained financials that result in notably low monthly maintenance fees.

Apartments showcase classic pre war details such as high ceilings over 9 feet, original hardwood and wide paneled oak floors, crown moldings, and arched doorways. Units include a mix of North facing and South facing studios, some with views of charming backyard gardens. Common features include generous storage with walk in closets, updated kitchens with stainless steel appliances, and some units offer skylights. Washers and dryers can be installed in-unit with co-op approval.

The co-op offers flexible policies including pied-à-terre purchases, gifting, parents buying for children, guarantors, and 90% financing. Subletting is permitted after two years of ownership. Pet policies vary by unit and require board approval. The location provides convenient access to multiple subway lines (6, E, M, 4, 5, N, R, W) and Grand Central Station, with Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Bloomingdale's nearby. The East River Esplanade and Central Park are both easily accessible from the building.

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.
