Property Description for 313 East 56th Street, 2-C

Live in an authentic prewar co-op with a modern twist in Sutton Place! This two-bedroom, two-bathroom home boasts timeless features sure to impress — such as exposed brick throughout the unit, dramatic oversized windows, beautiful hardwood floors, built-in bookcases and a wood-burning fireplace in the master bedroom. Located on the second floor in a walkup building, this quiet courtyard-facing apartment keeps out city noise while bringing in tons of natural light thanks to windows in every room.

Delicious home-cooked meals can be prepared in your generous kitchen, which flows into the airy living room and is upgraded with new Koehler stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher, copious amounts of counter space and ample storage via sizable cabinetry. The two bedrooms are massive, and spacious closets contain customized shelving throughout the unit. The windowed marble bathrooms are elegant and offer everything you need. A washer and dryer are also provided in the apartment, and an additional private storage unit is available in the basement at no monthly fee.

Nestled on a peaceful tree-lined block, 313 E. 56th St. is a charming prewar building with less than 15 units. The cooperative is self-managed, offering a friendly atmosphere and resulting in a low monthly maintenance fee. The remodeling of the main entry lobby has been approved to take place this summer. The scope of work will include a video intercom system, security cameras, contemporary finishes, new entry doors, upgraded lighting and detail work throughout.

Residents have quick access to excellent shopping and dining, local hot spots, top-rated public schools such as P.S. 59 – Beekman Hill International, multiple playgrounds, top-notch fitness clubs and the E, F, M, 4, 5, 6, N, Q, R and W subway lines less than a few blocks away.

Steam heat, water, taxes and gas are included as part of the maintenance.

Small pets only — sorry, no dogs allowed.

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.
