Property Description for 400 East 59th Street, 12-D

You want Pre-War grace with a stunning modern edge -- a home whose soul is rooted in the classic style of 1929, but whose finishes have been upgraded, updated, and uplifted to offer a cleaner, crisper, more inspiring vibe. You want a residence that is absolutely not a cookie-cutter -- a place with a layout as unique as you are, with tons of light, a dramatic wall of windows, original oak herringbone floors, a jaw-dropping, open city views. A full-service, pet-friendly address whose maintenance charges include electric and basic cable, in a dignified Sutton area building which abuts a sweet, secret park and with ultra-convenience to good shopping and dining options.
Welcome to this rarely available, museum-quality, split-level stunner with an attention to style and detail rarely found in a Pre-War home. When you enter the gracious foyer of this residence, you are in the elegant hub of this home. Gracious foyer that leads to a step-up Living Room with wood-burning fireplace, soaring 10'-6' beamed ceiling, big scale that allows for a Dining Area, and with that enviable view via its super-sized windows.
The foyer bridges the Living Room to the big Bedroom, a bright, quiet, relaxing space with impressive custom closets, and en-suite access to the designer Bath with soaking tub and custom everything.
This home has a windowed Kitchen complete with custom cabinetry, Subzero drawers, Viking range and hood, Miele dishwasher and graced by gorgeous Statuary Marble. Grace, style, and luxury is all right here in this fabulous home.

400 East 59th Street is a pre-war co-op with a full-time door attendant, a resident manager, common laundry, a bicycle room, private storage, and a lush courtyard garden. The building is moments from restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops, and it is a few blocks from Bloomingdale's, Pulitzer Fountain, Grand Army Plaza, and Central Park. Nearby subway lines include the N/Q/R/W/F. Pets and pieds-a-terre are welcome.

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.
