Property Description for 440 East 57th Street, 9-B

No detail was overlooked in the extensive gut-renovation and elegant design of this turn-key, south-facing 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home off tony Sutton Place. Even the most discerning buyer will fall in love with the brand new herringbone white oak floors underfoot, the crown moldings above, and the state-of-the-art materials and technology systems throughout. Enter this chic co-op home off a private corner of the updated elevator landing, and you'll immediately notice the attention to detail. The large, generously proportioned living room, with beautiful crisp new moldings and baseboards, enjoys southern exposure and opens to the separate dining room area that accommodates seating for ten. The custom millwork throughout, thoughtful built-in storage, and new floors with custom soundproofing reflect the tastes and standards of today, including solid wood doors with hidden hinges, voice-controlled SmartHome technology, central air in all rooms with individual temperature control zones, custom fully automated Lutron LED lights throughout, updated wiring throughout with multiple CAT-6 cables, and built-in speakers for surround sound. The newly renovated windowed kitchen boasts anti-microbial stainless steel countertops with a custom-welded no-drip lip sink and filtered water, soft-close cabinets and drawers, and top appliances including a Blue Star 6-burner range, stainless steel Miele dishwasher, Sub-Zero refrigerator, ductless Vent-a-Hood with odor-eliminating filtration system, and Uline wine fridge, all still under warranty. This state-of-the-art kitchen opens to the living room via a nano glass countered bar. The two large sun-splashed bedrooms are separated from the public rooms by a private hallway, and each also enjoys southern light as well as new herringbone-patterned white oak floors with custom soundproofing. The custom-fitted closets from Transform add to ease of living with abundant shelving, hampers and hanging space. Both marble bathrooms were recently gut-renovated. The ensuite master bathroom has a glass enclosed, step-in shower, multi-function Washlet Toto toilet, and double faucet sink. Both bathrooms enjoy brushed nickel finishes and are outfitted with appliances and fixtures from Restoration Hardware and Duravit. 440 East 57th Street, built in 1962, is a long-established, well-run, full service co-op with a live-in superintendent, laundry in the basement, and stunning planted roof deck with 360-degree views of the city. This pet friendly co-op allows pieds-a-terre and guarantors.

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.
