Property Description for 400 East 56th Street, 16-D

Tastefully renovated and converted to a three (3) bedroom apartment at the venerable Plaza 400, this is one of the most sought out lines for its layout and triple exposure allowing for consistent natural light to flow all day.

From the wide-plank wood floors to the beautiful millwork, the natural stones selected for the bathrooms and kitchen, nothing was spared.

When you first walk in, you will notice the great storage space throughout with a full-wall of deep closets as you enter into a generously apportioned foyer. Off the entrance, you encounter a long living room that accommodates a dining room table as well, with gorgeous wide pane windows leading out to the balcony. A bright, windowed eat-in kitchen has been outfitted with high-end Viking appliances. Granite countertops were carefully curated to match the motif all around and blend wonderfully between the cabinets and the floors.

A very spacious en-suite master bedroom contains two great closets one of which is a walk-in. A second, large bedroom also has a walk-in closet and can be converted to an en-suite bedroom with an additional door that could separate the public bathroom should extra privacy be needed. The third bedroom has been converted from the original dining room area and has been nicely designed to have a clear glass interior wall-transom which allows natural light in from the large living room panes, along with its north-facing window and air conditioner. Last but not least, the utility costs are covered in the monthly maintenance fee.

Enjoy everything the Upper East Side and Sutton Place has to offer at Plaza 400, a premier luxury building which features: a 24-hour doorman, concierge staff, beautifully landscaped gardens, a magnificent portico entry along with phenomenal amenities including: rooftop pool with incredible views, Skytop Lounge exclusive for residents, state of the art fitness center, children's playroom, parking and storage. Located on a beautiful tree-lined street, Plaza 400 is ideally situated near some of the best shops and restaurants NYC has to offer including Whole Foods, Bloomingdales Saks Off Fifth, Mr. Chow, Shun, Smith & Wollensky, Wolfgangs and the likes. Close to transportation as well with cross-town lines: M31 and M57, along with M15 line up 1st Ave and nearby subway lines including 4,5,6, F, N, Q, R & W.

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.
