Property Description for 7 Sutton Square

Wondrous details abound in this one-of-a-kind mansion, anchored by a majestic rotunda lined with a spiral filigree staircase and crowned with a glass dome. Other highlights include a classic Georgian-style facade, a central elevator, stunning parquet de Versailles hardwood floors, scagliola trims, concave custom designed doors, bullet-proof windows, dual professional kitchens, staff facilities, a dining terrace, and an incredible upper level deck–an enormous entertaining space that enjoys awe-inspiring views of the New York City skyline, bridges, and the East River. On the parlor floor of the house, residents enter the impressive vestibule with soaring double-height ceilings, flanked to the left and right by two doors: the left leads to the service wing while the right leads to a second direct entry to the grand salon. Straight through, one finds an elevator, a guest powder room, then a majestic rotunda. Formal living and dining spaces sit on either side of this elegant receiving room. Expansive and bright, the double-width salon possesses dual gas fireplaces and bay windows that bathes the room with warm morning light. The dining room has an attached alfresco terrace and provides easy access to the China Room, and the proceeding breakfast room with serving kitchen that connects to a commercial-grade kitchen one floor below. Food can also be transported through a dumbwaiter that connects both. The second floor contains two guest bedrooms with ample closets and pristine en-suite marble bathrooms. Opposite is a multi-room library clad in handsome custom oak paneling and multiple shelves with built-in lighting throughout. The study has a powder room en-suite. The primary suite occupies the entire third floor. The 33-ft wide bedroom has a fireplace and large bay windows with a splendid view of the garden and the East River. The remainder of the suite is made up of a wardrobe corridor, a bedroom-size windowed dressing room, a drawing room with an attached terrace and powder room, and a sublime en-suite onyx bathroom with double sinks, a walk-in shower, an enclosed water closet, and a deep soaking tub. The rooftop terrace has a grill, an enclosed solarium-style wet bar, a powder room, and open city and river views. The lower level boasts a fitness room, which can easily be reverted into a bedroom if one chooses, and an adjacent second bedroom with bath en-suite. Right outside is a Japanese bath equipped with an ofuro (soaking tub). Towards the western end of the house is a service entrance, wine closets, a commercial-grade kitchen equipped with three sinks, multiple refrigerators and walk-in freezers, and double ovens and stoves, commercial dishwashers, and multiple cabinets and storage spaces. A laundry room, a staff lounge, and two powder rooms complete this level. Situated in the secluded Sutton Place enclave, 7 Sutton Square is moments from restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops. Sutton East Tennis Club is a few blocks away, and Park, Madison, and Fifth Avenues are all close by.

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.
