Property Description for 1 Sutton Place South, 4-C
BEST PRICE ON THE EAST SIDE
Enormous home on one floor! Spectacular river views. Approximately 5600'! Stunning prewar building. As a grand country manor, this 6 bedroom is sprawling with high ceilings, huge windows, beautiful prewar details, and two fireplaces.
Seclusion and privacy begins with the limestone Porte Cochere with circular driveway. The concierge and doorman greet you at the beautiful wrought iron doors to the stunning lobby. Before you, glass French doors open to the manicured terraced gardens.
The home maintains the proper sequence of rooms from the entry to the grand center gallery. The majestic living room, nearly 28" x 20" with floor to ceiling windows, library, and primary suite all face the river with approximately 60" of frontage. The five to six secondary bedrooms wrap from the north to the west sides of the home with views over Sutton Gardens to the treetops of Sutton Place South. There are five full bathrooms. The formal dining room and massive kitchen look to the gardens and river. Sunlight fills every room. At night are the twinkling lights of the 59th Street Bridge in the distance. The private gardens and new Sutton Place promenade completely obscure the view and sounds of the FDR.
This home needs a renovation. There are HVAC units, C/A permitted with approval. Please contact us for more details.
Sutton Place was developed to be a quiet enclave which it continues to be to this day. In the last 2-3 years, it has become the first-choice neighborhood for many discerning buyers seeking an escape from the rush and cacophony of the city, easy access out of the city to the Hamptons and both Kennedy and La Guardia Airports. Within 1-4 blocks are lovely restaurants and cafes, all of life's amenities, Wholefoods, and the infamous 57th Street crosstown bus to the West Side. Check out the passengers in evening wear, on their way to Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. Of course, there is the private driveway for your car and driver.
Candela building, built in 1927, permits 50% financing. Maintenance paid quarterly. 3% flip tax. Pets permitted. Amenities include garden with private and comfortable areas to relax, and a private gym. Storage bin transfers with sale.

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.
