Property Description for 400 East 56th Street, 11-H
Live in Luxury in Plaza 400. This spacious 2-bedroom apartment has been artfully converted to a comfortable 3 bedroom with zero compromises. Enter the foyer that has a large coat closet and be greeted by the openness of the living/dining room. This 12' 9" x 32" expanse has a dining area that comfortably seats 6 as well as a large seating/entertainment area with direct access to a spacious balcony, perfect for enjoying evening cocktails or your morning coffee. There's a sleek, attractive modern kitchen that makes cooking a joy - custom German cabinetry with under cabinet lighting, Artistic Tile countertops, and high-end stainless-steel appliances with a paneled dishwasher.
The primary bedroom suite has a custom fitted walk-in closet, windowed bathroom and a new large standing shower. This corner bedroom has two exposures, measures 11" 5" x 17" 1" and can accommodate a king-sized bed and additional furniture.
The highly sought after H-line in Plaza 400 has a spacious layout and very generous closet space. Both of the secondary bedrooms are king-sized (11'9" x 17'10" and 10'8" x 14'), have sizable closets, are prewired for TV and enjoy plenty of light. During the gut renovation, the owners installed remote control shades for all windows with blackout shades from the Shade Store, added Lutron light switches, and professionally installed A/V and internet. The kitchens and bathrooms all have Ann Sachs tile, and custom bult-ins around all radiators were installed. This apartment is truly move-in ready.
A large custom fitted walk-in closet is located off the spacious foyer, convenient to hold jackets for guests. The second bathroom is well located for both family and guest use.
Plaza 400 is a full-service, doorman building with hotel-like service and amenities.

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.
