Property Description for 400 East 56th Street, 6-H

A spectacular home with infinite possibilities! At approximately 1,500 sq ft, this sprawling co-op apartment has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths with a formal dining room (that can be converted to a 3rd bedroom), outdoor space and more walk-in-closets than weve ever seen in a Manhattan apartment of this size. All thats missing is your personal touch, turning it into a modernized masterpiece.

To view a 3-D walk-thru of the unit, click the VIDEO or VIRTUAL TOUR link above or go to: https://bit.ly/3mNMYWs

(Note: To help potential buyers envision all the opportunities, weve created a video and interactive floor plans showing the current layout as well as a couple of alternate options using virtual renovations).

Currently, two walk-in closets greet you on your right upon entering the apartment, followed by a large foyer that can be used as a home office or dining area. That leads you directly into the main common area which is now comprised of a living room and formal dining room. However, look at the photos to see what is possible once renovated, including transforming the dining room into a spacious 3rd bedroom. A private balcony is accessed from the living area and both rooms overlook East 56th Street and are lined with glass bringing in plenty of natural light.

The kitchen is a bit tight in its current configuration, yet still includes a French-Door refrigerator, dishwasher and gas oven. However, other owners in this line have created more space (seen in alternate floor plans #1 and #2). Bring your architect/contractor to figure out what works best for you.

The primary bedroom has two exposures (north and east) from five oversized windows. The room has plenty of space for a king-sized bed along with room for multiple dressers and two MORE walk-ins. These private quarters are completed with an en-suite bathroom that can be made over into your own oasis.

Head back towards the common areas and youll find a second full bathroom off the hallway adjacent to another spacious bedroom with its own two WICs.

Plaza 400 is a full-service cooperative designed by architect Philip Birnbaum and Associates, is considered one of Sutton Places most elegant buildings. From the porte-cochere driveway to the portico and greenspace, this building makes for a wonderful home. Amenities include a 24-hour doorman and full-service concierge desk, resident superintendent, laundry room, fitness center, plus full-service parking that is discounted for residents. A heated rooftop pool and sundecks provide spectacular 360-degree views of the city. Convenient access to the East River Esplanade, shopping, dining, theatres, museums and Central Park.

Purchaser is responsible for 2% Flip Tax. Maintenance includes electricity, gas, heat, hot water and air conditioning.

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.
