Property Description for 60 Sutton Place South, 3-CS

Life on the river!

This Spacious 3 bedroom home is perfectly positioned looking out over the water, and feeling connected to the life and commerce the river offers; whether watching sail boats or barges glide by. The night lights of the 59th Street Bridge, sparkle and bounce off the water. There is a wide expanse of windows facing east from the living room and dining area, to the water and beyond, and southern views down the river and to the beautifully detailed facade of the famed Riverhouse. The master suite also enjoys the same views as the spacious entertaining areas, and is private from the other two bedrooms which are off a private hall.

This amazing apartment is in need of a renovation, has two full baths, Master bath has a window, and there is a large balcony facing the river. Please look at both floor plans, the original and the architect's proposed floor plan, which minimizes construction, while allowing for best use of the space as a three-bedroom home. Alternatively, the master bedroom, which was formerly used as a library, can remain open through French doors.

60 Sutton Place South was built in 1954, and is a lovely example of high-end mid century design. The position and approach to the building is welcoming and beautiful, from the convenience of the circular driveway, to the stunning lobby with walls of glass that overlook the garden.

There is a garage in the building with reduced monthly cost for shareholders. The building staff is exceptional, the lobby recently redecorated, and there is a windowed gym, bike room, valet service, and on site management. The board is reasonable, accepts pied-a-terres, welcomes your pets, and 70% financing is permitted. All of these amenities make this one of the most desirable buildings on Sutton.

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.
