Property Description for 300 East 54th Street, PH-A
Welcome to Penthouse A! Located on the 34th floor with some of the most spectacular east, south and west vistas of New York City, this four-bedroom (convertible five) home is turn-key, having recently received a full gut renovation where no expense was spared. Some of the work included: natural white oak (8") floors that run throughout the entire home, brand new (soundproof) windows, custom concrete kitchen with the finest Bosch appliances, Venetian plaster walls, glass windowsills, Tom Dixon light fixtures, and the list goes on! The entire home is flooded with light and each exposure is open to a breathtaking view. As you enter the home you are greeted by a spacious entry which is flooded with light and the first thing you see is an open view of the East River. As you make your way to the sprawling living and dining space, with both eastern and southern exposures, you are greeted by views of the iconic New York City skyline, Long Island City, The famed United Nations, classic 59th Street Bridge and more! Enjoy a sunrise coffee on the eastern terrace (and a cocktail at dusk on the western terrace). Located parallel to the eastern terrace is a sprawling open chef's kitchen, perfect for cooking a small meal or catering the largest of dinner parties. A full bathroom with tub is conveniently located in this wing of the home as well.
As you make your way down the hallway passing a large walk-in storage room and pantry, you'll find a washer/dryer and another full bathroom. Two bedrooms are located in the south west corner of the home, one of which has a terrace high above Midtown, and the other bedroom with a corner view of the enchanting Chrysler and Empire State Buildings. Both bedrooms have custom closets with plenty of storage.

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.
