The phenomenal floor plan exemplifies the idyllic combination of two spacious units. Apartment 15RS is an expansive home bathed in light from oversized windows facing south and west with a private balcony. No expense was spared in its tasteful redesign, completed in 2019. Every detail was thoughtfully considered and executed, from gorgeous new wood floors with extra padding beneath, to the soundproofing of certain walls for optimal peace and quiet. In addition, there are custom electric window blinds and Sonos speakers throughout, connected to 4 top-grade TVs included in the sale. The quality of finishes and gracious layout are truly uncompromising.

A built-in bar area with under-counter lighting, a wine fridge and beverage cooler allows for easy serving. Sliding glass doors invite in natural light and lead out to a south-facing 12'x16' balcony for enjoying coffee or cocktails. Adjoining the dining area is a spectacular open gourmet kitchen featuring sleek high-glass painted wood cabinetry with soft close drawers outfitted with modern Restoration Hardware, quartz countertops with under-counter lighting, a waterfall island, stunning tiled backsplash, and a premium suite of appliances for the chef including a Wolf cooktop and hood, 60" wide fridge and dual dishwashers.

Retreat to your king-size primary bedroom with sunny southwestern windows, a huge custom-outfitted walk-in dressing closet in addition to another walk-in closet, a fabulous spa bath with dual sinks, an oversized rain shower and remote bidet.

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.
