Property Description for 447 East 57th Street, 2-A
Located on one of the most idyllic blocks in Manhattan, 447 East 57 Street in Sutton Place epitomizes prewar luxury. The full-service co-op was designed by the visionary Rosario Candela.
The home's design showcases many of the details and accents for which Candela was known, including stunning millwork and crown moldings. It is accessed by a semi-private elevator that opens to a rectangular entrance foyer. The over 26' living space beyond the foyer is illuminated by three oversized, double-hung windows overlooking 57th Street. The space is large enough to accommodate both a living and dining area.
A chef's dream, the home's recently upgraded chef's kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances, including Wolf wall ovens and a cooktop, a Miele dishwasher, and a Subzero refrigerator and wine cooler.
The 17'9" x 16'9" primary bedroom features abundant closet space and a newly renovated ensuite marble bath. The second bedroom (or library) features two oversized windows and an ensuite windowed bath. Just beyond the kitchen, a third room with a half bath can be used as a third bedroom, a home office, or a staff room.
Additional highlights include abundant storage throughout, two-zone central air conditioning, wiring for sound systems, and herringbone hardwood floors.
Rosario Candela, one of New York's most famous architects, was best known for designing many of the city's buildings of splendor in the 1920s and 1930s with grand rooms of brilliant scale and proportions. This particular building was built in 1928. It is a handsome prewar structure with a canopied entrance. Standing 15 stories, it is finished in red brick with a two-story marble base. Its exterior is replete with wrought iron details, distinctive lanterns, and sidewalk plantings.
The residence is situated within blocks from the finest shopping, dining, and cultural destinations Midtown has to offer. It also offers ease of access to FDR Drive and Sutton Place Park, an enchanting, pet-friendly park fronting the East River.
A generously sized storage bin transfers with the apartment. Pets and pied--terres are welcome. The 2% flip tax is payable by the Seller and 50% financing is permitted.

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.
