Property Description for 400 East 56th Street, 37-M

Lofty Sutton Area Home With Endless River Views. This high-floor junior one bedroom, with open views up and down the East River, sits atop one of Sutton Place's most coveted co-ops. The large L-shaped space can be divided by a sliding wall for use as a one bedroom or left open as a loft-like alcove studio. Either configuration provides ample room for living, dining, sleeping and entertaining. The apartment is currently equipped with a custom designed Murphy bed and ceiling lighting. The windowed marble bathroom provides another boundless view over the river into Brooklyn. Closet space is abundant and includes two large walk-ins. This is a truly unique space, accentuated by unparalleled views. Plaza 400 is a premier full-service cooperative and one of Sutton Place's more elegant buildings. Built in 1968 by architect Philip Birnbaum and Associates with 627 residences, Plaza 400 was converted to a cooperative in January 1981. The well-designed building has an impressive driveway with portico and landscaped gardens and a new lobby renovation that is nearly complete. The co-op is self-managed with an on-site Executive Director and resident superintendent. There are 24-hour doormen, a concierge desk, a staffed security entrance and a staffed package room. The monthly maintenance includes utilities, central air-conditioning and heating. Pied-a-terre owners are welcome, but please note, there is a no pet policy. Additional amenities include a roof top heated outdoor pool, Resident's Lounge/Events Room, Children's Playroom and children events, state of the art fitness center, central laundry room, bike room and storage units and a 24-hour attended on-site garage with reduced fees for residents.

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.
