Property Description for 303 East 57th Street, 34-A

NEW TO MARKET -- LUXURY 2-BR FOR THE PRICE OF A STUDIO!

34TH FLOOR, CORNER, 2-BR/3-BTH, WITH LARGE BALCONY AND OPEN CITY AND EAST RIVER VIEWS.

Welcome to 303 East 57th Street, Apartment 34A. The moment you enter the spacious foyer with custom millwork and a walk-in coat closet, you are struck by the expansive views over the East River, and south towards iconic towers like the Chrysler building.

Stunning views are framed by enormous windows from every room. The light-filled rooms are wonderfully oversized, with 9-foot ceilings, and flow seamlessly from the public rooms to the sleeping quarters. Just off the corner living room is the large, south-facing balcony that adds to the drama while providing lovely outdoor space. There are beautiful hardwood floors throughout.

Dine in the windowed Chef's kitchen - with Sub-Zero fridge, Bosch dishwasher and granite countertops - perfect for morning coffee and watching the sunrise over the East River. All cabinetry is custom-made. There is also a custom, built-in desk, Miele washer/dryer and even a service entrance.

Both oversized bedrooms easily accommodate large furnishings. Beautiful south views are captured by the large windows - highlighting New York City's daytime light and nighttime shimmer. The primary bedroom features an en-suite bathroom with vanity table. There is also a third bathroom off the foyer that serves as a powder room for guests. Closets are abundant. Indeed, when it comes to closets and storage, this home is a New Yorker's dream.

303 East 57th Street (The Excelsior) is a white-glove co-op, with every desirable amenity. The staff includes 24-hour doormen, concierge and a resident manager. The fitness center is complemented by a 20,000 square-foot health spa with indoor/outdoor saltwater pool and a common roof deck. There is an on-site parking garage and a circular driveway for easy drop-off and pickup. Pied-a-terres and pets allowed.

Situated just off Billionaire's Row, conveniently located near fine dining (e.g., Mr. Chow's) and some of the city's best shopping and food markets, including Whole Foods, 303 East 57th Street is minutes away to trains and busses. This is a land-lease building.

This home must be seen to be fully appreciated. Showings by appointment only.

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.
