Property Description for 430 East 57th Street, 8-A
SUTTON PLACE GEM
This sprawling 2 bedroom, 2 bath home with formal dining room will please those who appreciate a grand, classic and well-appointed home. Perched up high on the 8th floor, one will delight in the gracious layout. The original Classic 6 configuration has been modernized to eliminate the servant's room and bath to create a huge kitchen ideal for today's lifestyle, while maintaining all of the original prewar elegance.
The oversized living room can accommodate multiple configurations and features a working wood burning fireplace, original oak floors, high ceilings and three huge picture windows with great light and open views over this tranquil and architecturally significant stretch of East 57th Street.
The expanded kitchen is huge (approx. 280 square feet) and perfectly laid-out, featuring massive storage space, two large windows and a spacious windowed breakfast area with seating for 4-6. The hard work of reconfiguring the space has been done, simplifying a kitchen renovation if desired. A washer/dryer can easily be added in the large pantry, too.
The large formal dining room can be converted into a third bedroom while still leaving space for a large dining area ideally situated off the kitchen and living room. The bright and spacious primary bedroom suite offers large closets and an en suite windowed bathroom (which can be expanded into the adjacent closet). The second bedroom is quiet and comfortable. An adjacent windowed bathroom is conveniently accessible to the common areas of the apartment for guest use.
Sutton Place is a peaceful River enclave right in the heart of Manhattan, with the Bridge nearby making for an easy ride to the airport, out east to Long Island or to Connecticut, and walkable to work for those working in Midtown, the United Nations and the medical corridor just north of the Bridge. Quick access to the FDR Drive highway makes for a smooth ber ride downtown or to the Financial District. The location also offers close proximity to shopping at Trader Joes, Whole Food's and Midtown Catch, and excellent dining, such as Mr. Chow's, Morso, Bistro Vendome, Neary's and La Villetta which are all neighborhood favorites. Sutton Place also has a number of serene "pocket parks" and you can enjoy a bike ride or stroll along the new East River Esplanade nearby!

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.
