The I line is a wonderful layout, with a rare, genuine formal dining room (easily seats 8-10) that is perfect for entertaining. The sun-splashed living room offers gleaming wood floors overlooking the calming East River and is spacious enough to accommodate two seating areas. The windowed Kitchen offers ample cabinetry and granite countertops with a cozy windowed seating area.

Sutton Place is a peaceful River enclave right in the heart of Manhattan. The nearby Bridge makes for an easy commute out east to Long Island or to Connecticut, and the neighborhood is a walk to work for those who commute to Midtown, the United Nations and the medical corridor just north of the Bridge. Easy access to the FDR Drive makes for a quick Uber ride to Wall Street. The location offers close proximity to shopping at Whole Foods, Trader Joes and Midtown Catch, and excellent dining such as La Villetta, Mr. Chow's, Morso, Bistro Vendome and Neary's, which are neighborhood favorites. Sutton Place also has a number of "pocket parks" and you can enjoy a bike ride or stroll along the new, adjacent, two-mile long East River Esplanade.

45 Sutton Place South, also known as Cannon Point South, is a white-glove, full-service luxury cooperative with 24-hour doorman and concierge services, supremely attentive resident manager, an elegant lobby, a roof top pergola garden, fitness center, package room and garage. Maintenance includes utilities (electric and gas), and the co-op permits 50% financing. A 2% flip tax is payable by the buyer. Pied-a-terres are subject to board approval. Sorry no dogs. This impeccably maintained coop, often dubbed "The Best of Sutton," enjoys excellent financials, having completed all major work, from the new lobby to new roof deck-a perfect home for enjoying the singular beauty and serenity of Sutton Place.

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.
