Property Description for 400 East 56th Street, 38-E

MAGNIFICENTLY RENOVATED HOME IN THE SKY
PLAZA 400 | 400 East 56th Street, Apt 38E

Kindly note that all showings and open houses are by appointment only. Please contact listing agents to schedule a time. Easy show!

YOUR HOME
Take in the panoramic, high-floor skyline views from this magnificently renovated aerie at Plaza 400, one of Sutton Place’s most sought after, amenity rich buildings. Currently configured as a large Junior-4 with one and a half baths, no expense was spared in transforming Residence 38E into a gorgeous, designer home. The generously sized dining foyer adjacent to the gleaming, well-equipped chef’s kitchen easily accommodates your dinner party guests, and seven closets – two of which are walk-in – afford excellent storage space. Greatly prized among layouts in the building, the ‘E’ line affords the flexibility of two-bedroom conversion, and some units in the line have expanded the half bath to full with the addition of a standing shower. We have included an alternate floorplan for illustrative purposes. High floor, great views, coveted layout – what more could you ask for?

YOUR BUILDING
Designed by the notable mid-century modern architect Philip Birnbaum, constructed in 1968 and converted to cooperative in 1981, Plaza 400 is a 40-story, 581-unit impeccably self-managed luxury property in the Sutton Place neighborhood of Midtown East with spacious homes, strong financials, and a comprehensive suite of amenities and services. The Skytop rooftop pool and terraces offer endless 360° city and East River views. Fully staffed, Skytop offers chaise lounges with umbrellas, tables and chairs for summer enjoyment. The fitness center is equipped with a full range of free-weights, treadmills/elliptical machines, and training equipment. Quality commercial tenants include a cafe, optician, dry cleaner, nail salon, Pilates studio, children’s school/daycare and medical offices.

YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
Plaza 400 is conveniently located near fine restaurants, charming small specialty shops, national grocery stores and pharmacies, cafés, pubs, local riverfront parks and playgrounds. Residents have easy, nearby access to the Ed Koch/Queensboro Bridge, Queens Midtown Tunnel, FDR Drive and Roosevelt Island Tram, as well as to the 4, 5, 6, N, R, E, M, F subway lines and multiple bus routes.

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.
