Pre-war Charm with a Modern touch -
Live the ultimate dream of living the highlife!

As you enter the tranquil central Foyer, the staircase leads you into the Grand & Dramatic Great Room that looks out the picture-perfect window at the 59th Street Bridge and the sweet little red Roosevelt Island gondola passing by your view!
Lush & Luxurious living happens here!
Imagine a warm fire in your Wood Burning Fireplace on cold winter nights, or cool breezes on hot summer afternoons!
Cross ventilation as well as through-the-wall A/C allows for all windows to have clear views to the East, North & South!
The Great Room is triple sized which leaves plenty of room for 3 separate areas – allowing for a multitude of ways to live, lounge and dine.
The virtual staging shows how every place has a view:
Dining area facing the extra-large picture-perfect windows -
Living area facing the stately wood burning Fireplace -
Lounging by the massive window gives you a front-row seat to the spectacular skyline and a close-up view of the 59th Street Bridge.
Re-finished Herringbone Hardwood Floors & Soaring 10.5’ High Ceilings add to the elegance of it all!
The Primary Bedroom is spectacular with its sweeping views of the Manhattan Skyline & 59th Street Bridge spanning over the river. The King-sized bedroom has a king-sized window and double exposure with a second window showing views to the East where you can catch a glimpse of the East River!
The Second Bedroom has all-day-long Southern light & views of Sutton Place. Perfect set up as office, den and guest room as seen in virtual staging.
The renovated Kitchen with water views has plenty of room, pantry cabinets & drawers galore, and all brand-new stainless-steel appliances. It’s bright & light where you can certainly experience the joy of cooking!
Bright & Clean -both windowed Bathrooms have the original cast-iron soaking tubs and new fixtures that recall the pre-war detailed charm. Both are sunny- bringing in the light!
Renovations also include: freshly painted, skim coat walls, 4 new custom closets (Walk-in Master closet, Jack & Jill walk-in closet, large double walk-in storage closet, coat closet in Foyer).
Added benefit: all electric & basic cable is included in the maintenance in this well-maintained cooperative.
Each floor is individually styled; the 15th floor landing is elegantly designed with rich black marble furnishing & paintings.
This stately & stylish, boutique pre-war Sutton Place co-op affords you the luxury of professional and friendly staff, 24-hour full-time doormen, live-in superintendent, laundry room with windows and central green courtyard.
No flip tax. Pied-a-terres welcome. Pet Friendly!

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.
