Property Description for 400 East 59th Street, 4-C

Welcome home to Residence 4C — a beautifully renovated, corner, pre-war two-bedroom, two-bath cooperative showcasing gorgeous herringbone floors, high beamed ceilings, a hand-crafted decorative fireplace, and iconic views of the Queensboro Bridge from oversized, double-pane, pin-drop-quiet north- and west-facing windows. Sun-filled and generously scaled, this inviting home is rich with pre-war charm and truly move-in ready. All you need is your toothbrush. Enter through an elegant foyer accented by a graceful archway that opens into a well-proportioned living room with a designated dining area — ideal for entertaining or enjoying quiet evenings at home. The charming, west-facing, windowed eat-in kitchen features custom banquette seating perfect for cozy breakfasts. It is outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances, including a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine fridge, and a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher. Carrara marble countertops and an Ann Sacks glass tile backsplash complete this thoughtfully designed culinary space. Throughout the residence, custom built-ins and California Closets provide exceptional storage and convenience. Both bedrooms are en-suite with windowed bathrooms that have been tastefully renovated with high-end fixtures, enhancing the home’s refined and sophisticated ambiance. This light-filled home offers through-the-wall air conditioning, and the monthly maintenance includes electricity and basic cable for added value and ease. 400 East 59th Street, designed by Van Wart and Wein in 1928, is a full-service pre-war cooperative featuring a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, laundry room, bike room, and a serene garden tucked just off the lobby. Ideally situated in Sutton Place, the building offers easy access to transportation (N/R/W/4/5/6 lines), superb dining options, and premier shopping — including Trader Joe’s across the street, Whole Foods nearby, and fitness destinations such as Crunch and Equinox. The building permits 75% financing, imposes no flip tax, is pet-friendly, and allows pieds-a`-terre and sublets. The co-op is composed of 120 units divided between two towers. Contact us today to schedule a private showing — this residence is truly exceptional and will not last.

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.
