Property Description for 50 Sutton Place South, 19-G

SHOWING BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. CALL FOR APPOINTMENT. Rarely available and highly desirable high floor "G Line"! Enter this elegant and masterfully laid out seven-into-six room apartment that centers around a 20' formal foyer. On one side of the foyer, you enter the east-facing spacious living room where natural light streams in and that easily accommodates several intimate seating areas. From the living room, step out onto the terrace, where you can watch the boats drift by from your 19th floor perch. The formal dining room, with a lovely river view, opens up to the living room creating the perfect setting for grand entertaining. The windowed galley kitchen has a Subzero refrigerator, granite counters and white wood cabinetry with ample storage space. The bedrooms are on the west side of the foyer, offering a layout that allows for relaxing and a tranquil lifestyle. The king-sized west-facing master suite is a calm oasis with two walk-in closets, an en-suite spa-like bathroom with jetted tub, separate shower, ample storage and through-wall a/c. The second equally large bedroom, also with en-suite bathroom, is currently configured as a den with an expansive built in wall unit. An easy fix converts this back to a bedroom and allows access to the bathroom from the foyer. (Please refer to alternate floor plan.) The half bath, accessed from the foyer, can convert back to a full bath. Ample closet space (three in the foyer alone!), oak parquet floors and good light throughout. Built in 1955, 50 Sutton Place South is a brick and limestone white glove, full service coop that offers 24-hour door attendant, concierge, elevator attendant, live-in resident manager, windowed gym, private storage (waiting list), package room and parking garage. Pets are permitted with Board approval. Pied a terre, guarantors and co-purchase are allowed on case-by-case basis. Sutton Place, which runs from 53Rd to 59th Streets, between First Avenue and the East River, is a bucolic tree-lined neighborhood - elegant, homey and welcoming - with lovely parks along the river. Nearby are restaurants, shopping and easy access to the FDR, bridges and airports. No open houses allowed so call now to schedule an appointment!

Sutton Place | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Sutton Place is usually described with favorable words like charming, cozy, great neighborhood, hidden gem, sanctuary, or even small village inside a big city. Those descriptions aren’t from real estate folks either, they’re from the people that live and work there, so it must be true.

The quiet and upscale neighborhood is more like an enclave. It’s bounded by East 53rd Street to the south, East 59th Street to the North, First Avenue to the west, and the East River to the east. Most residents will tell you that everything you’ll ever need is located in the neighborhood. When it’s time to venture out into the cityscape, Sutton Place is within easy reach to Midtown and cultural attractions like the Museum of Modern Art, Rockefeller Center, Central Park and other iconic sites.   

Manhattan has always had notable celebrity residents. But for unknown reasons, Sutton Place has had more than its share of superstars over the years. Some of the more iconic celebs include: Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller, Freddie Mercury, Sigourney Weaver, Joan Crawford, Michael Jackson and sister Latoya (Just for one summer).

Sutton Place is named after Effingham B. Sutton, a shipping merchant and entrepreneur. After hitting it big in the California gold rush, Sutton built brownstones along East 57th and East 58th streets with aspirations of making the section more residential. Poverty and crime dashed his dreams. The street gangs that hung out along the dead-ends and cul-de-sacs added to the neighborhood’s decay. Sutton was about to give up on his development endeavors but the Vanderbilt’s and the Morgan’s showed up in the 1920s and transformed the neighborhood. It soon became a wealthy enclave.
