Stately Candela on Sutton

Bring Your Architect.

Spanning over 5,000 square feet and commanding breathtaking open views in every direction, Apartment 11C embodies the grandeur and scale of the great prewar cooperatives of the 1920s. Accessed via a private elevator landing, the residence opens into an impressive entrance gallery-the central axis of this remarkable home-from which the apartment's exceptional proportions, symmetry, and abundant natural light immediately unfold.

The magnificent corner living room enjoys sweeping East River views through floor-to-ceiling windows and features a wood-burning fireplace, original herringbone floors, and exquisite architectural detailing. Complementing this extraordinary entertaining space are a library, media room, and formal dining room, each positioned to capture the apartment's spectacular river outlooks.

The thoughtful floor plan extends seamlessly into the private quarters. Adjacent to the classically wainscoted dining room are a generous butler's pantry and a windowed eat-in kitchen. Occupying a prime corner position, the expansive primary suite features a wood-burning fireplace, gracious sitting area, and two en-suite baths. Currently configured with two guest bedrooms and a laundry room, the apartment's original layout can readily be restored to create a five-bedroom residence.

One of only 33 original layouts within this distinguished building, Apartment 11C presents a rare opportunity to reimagine a residence of extraordinary scale, elegance, and provenance.

Designed by the celebrated architectural team of Cross & Cross in association with Rosario Candela, One Sutton Place South is among Manhattan's most prestigious prewar cooperatives. Built in the Italian Renaissance style, the building is renowned for its iconic triple-arched porte-cochère, grand lobby, beautifully landscaped private garden, and state-of-the-art fitness center. Residents enjoy the highest level of white-glove service in one of New York City's most coveted waterfront enclaves.

50% financing is permitted and there is a 3% flip tax paid by buyer. Pets are welcome and a large storage unit transfers with the sale of the apartment.

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.
