Property Description for 447 East 57th Street, 10-A

THE APARTMENT

Apartment 10A is a distinguished six-room masterpiece designed by Albert Hadley who used the Candela canvas to create a luxurious home built for entertaining, relaxation and tranquility. There is a seamless flow from room to room.

Enter from the semi-private elevator landing into the almost 16 foot x 10 foot welcoming foyer with coat closet leading into the enormous living room with fireplace, floor-to-ceiling windows facing south, and high ceilings.

The large wood paneled library also facing south can easily be converted to a second bedroom and offers an en-suite full bath.

Candela made certain that the expansive primary suite received fantastic light from the south-facing floor-to-ceiling windows and a view to the west onto 57th Street, also with an en-suite full bath.

10A has a formal dining room and an over 15-foot gallery leading to the oversized chef's kitchen and a staff room with sink, toilet, and shower.

The kitchen has two large east-facing windows, a powder room, washer dryer unit, and Wolf 6 burner gas stove. Closets, cabinets, and storage are everywhere.

Heat and A/C are within built in wall units throughout with a separate window A/C for the kitchen.

The sale includes a basement storage cage, and the property is in good condition but could benefit from an upgrade.

447 EAST 57TH STREET THE COOPERATIVE

The building was built by renowned architect Rosario Candela in 1928. Candela's buildings have become some of the most coveted addresses in New York City. There are less than 25 apartments at 447 East 57th Street, many of which were built as full-floor units and divided into two units on several floors during the Great Depression. As the economy strengthened later in the 20th century, several of the units were restored to full-floor units. The cooperative offers full-time doorman service, porters, and a live-in resident manager. Pied a Terres and pets will be considered. With the building's desirable location in Sutton Place, just east of Midtown, residents can enjoy easy access to Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and Morton Williams along with fine dining all close. Transportation options from Sutton Place are easily navigated.

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.
