This large ESTATE CONDITION apartment, within one of Sutton's top full service co-ops, has some dated design elements but will become a jaw-dropping "wow" apartment in your hands!. The "great bones" here are evident, from the fabulous 2BR plus Formal Dining Room layout (convertible to 3BRs with board approval), to the exceptionally large Eat-In-Kitchen with window, to the tremendous closet space throughout and of course the direct River Views and City Views!
Just imagine this space with the dated decor elements stripped away and you will see a huge modern home with a fantastic layout, without even changing any walls. The huge living room is over 30 feet in length with direct river views, and when opened to the dining room with city views, you have a 50 foot expanse for living and entertaining. The oversized primary suite enjoys direct river views, a white tiled en suite bath and a walk-in closet. The large guest bedroom can easily accommodate a king sized bed, has double closets and open city views. A midcentury modern purist would probably keep the original circa 1960 white enameled steel cabinets but if you are not a fan of retro, the huge footprint of the EIK can accommodate the kitchen of your dreams.
Do not hesitate for this opportunity to create your dream home!

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.
