Property Description for 300 East 59th Street, 1705

NEW TO MARKET!! Renovated to perfection with no expense spared, this grand high-floor 3-bedroom 2.5-bathroom residence offers dramatic open city views and two private balconies at The Landmark, a stellar, full-service luxury cooperative.

Stretching over 26 feet, the living room/dining room is surrounded by massive, oversized picture windows which wrap around the building's northwest corner, brilliantly dressing the room in natural light and showcasing the glorious vistas of the Manhattan skyline. Stunning new mahogany herringbone floors are accentuated by graceful base and crown moldings which run throughout the home. Completely wired for sound, the room is perfect for entertaining and serviced by a beautifully detailed powder room for guests just off the foyer. Directly accessible from the living room/dining room are two private balconies so you can also take the entertainment outside.

Adjacent to the entertaining space is a flawlessly outfitted windowed chef's kitchen, conceived with the highest quality finishes and attention to detail, including custom cabinetry by Wood-Mode, stunning quartzite counters and backsplash and even a pot filler above the stove. The appliance suite is all top-of-the-line and comprised of an integrated 27" Subzero refrigerator, double freezer drawers, a Wolf 4-burner gas range and oven, a Miele dishwasher, a Miele microwave and speed oven and an integrated Miele Nespresso barista system.

The bedrooms are all located in the southern wing of this home, serenely separated from where you will entertain. The primary suite is enormous in size and repeats the elegant mahogany herringbone floors and molding found in the living and dining room. This stately bedroom has a gracious sitting area, a massive and masterfully customized dressing room and a glorious 4-fixture bathroom with a double vanity, a glass-enclosed shower, Waterworks fixtures, built-in Wood-Mode cabinetry, a television, and sophisticated stonework and detailing throughout, and is accessible by way of the primary suite corridor as well as the dressing room.

The additional two bedrooms each have customized closets as well as built-in storage beneath their windows. One bedroom has been completely wired for sound and currently serves as a media room though it is easily utilized as a bedroom, guest room or home office without any need for reconfiguration. Across the hall there is a beautifully finished second full bathroom with bathtub and Waterworks fixtures, as well as two large closets, one of which can accommodate a washer/dryer with the hookup already present.

The Landmark at 300 East 59th Street is an impeccably run, full-service cooperative which has just undergone a building-wide renovation including the lobby, hallways, elevators and windows. Residents enjoy the benefits of a full-time doorman, live-in resident manager, laundry rooms on every floor, storage units for rent, as well as a glorious roof deck and on-site garage.

Within blocks of Whole Foods and the upcoming Trader Joe's, an array of fabulous restaurants, easy distance to Midtown and Madison Avenue shopping and access to both the Queensboro Bridge and the FDR Drive as well as the F,Q,4,5,6,N,R,E and M trains, express downtown and 57th Street crosstown buses, The Landmark offers its residents a marvelous marriage of luxury and convenience.

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.
