From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Three Apartments. One Address. Endless Possibility in Sutton Place. Opportunities like this rarely come to market. Residence 3DEF at 227 East 57th Street was created by combining three separate apartments into a single home of approximately 1,661 square feet, giving you a scale and flexibility that is almost impossible to find in a Manhattan co-op. The canvas is yours. Design a grand, fully custom residence with room for everything. Divide it into two homes for extended family or a live and work setup. Or return it to its original three-unit layout. Each path is open, subject to building and board approval. The home offers open city and skyline views, hardwood floors throughout, a dishwasher, and the everyday luxury of an in-unit washer/dryer. 227 East 57th Street is a full service building with a full time doorman, live in superintendent, elevator, bike room, laundry room, and storage. Step outside and you are in Sutton Place, one of Manhattan's most established residential enclaves, moments from Midtown dining, shopping, and multiple subway lines. Monthly maintenance is inclusive of all real estate taxes. Space, flexibility, and a coveted address rarely come together. Here they do.
