...A Rare Prewar Opportunity with Exceptional Flexibility

This approximately 1,750-square-foot residence at 227 East 57th Street presents a truly uncommon opportunity. Originally configured as three separate apartments and later combined into one expansive home, it offers a range of possibilities rarely found in Manhattan: restore it to three residences, divide it into two, or create a spectacular single custom home. Priced to accommodate a complete renovation, this is an ideal canvas for buyers looking to design a home tailored to their vision.

The Residence: Scale, Light & Endless Potential

Currently configured with three bedrooms plus a fourth room that can serve as a bedroom, home office, den, or formal dining room, the residence features three full bathrooms and coveted south, east, and west exposures providing natural light throughout the day.

An oversized living room serves as the centerpiece of the home, offering exceptional space for both everyday living and entertaining. The existing two-kitchen layout is configured as a full kitchen and a half kitchen, making a future reconfiguration into multiple residences both practical and realistic.

Additional conveniences include an in-unit washer and dryer, as well as eight generous closets throughout. All major appliances have been recently purchased.

The Building: Art Deco Elegance with Attractive Carrying Costs

227 East 57th Street is an intimate, full-service Art Deco cooperative offering a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, dedicated staff, and a beautifully maintained lobby. Additional amenities include private storage, bicycle storage, and central laundry. It is pet-friendly and has a pied-à-terre-friendly policy.

The Location

Perfectly positioned across from Whole Foods and moments from Trader Joe's, Bloomingdale's, Fifth Avenue shopping, Central Park, and many of Manhattan's finest restaurants and cultural destinations.

Bring your architect and your imagination. Opportunities offering this combination of scale, flexibility, value, and long-term potential are increasingly rare.
