Property Description for 444 East 57th Street, 3-A

A true jewel in Sutton Place, Apartment 3A at 444 East 57th Street is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence that exudes elegance. Tastefully designed in a sophisticated manner that pays homage to its prewar details, this is a rare condo offering that includes a separate staff room.

As you enter the foyer with a dedicated coat closet, a checkered marble floor provides a runway into the home and overlooks the grand sunken living room that is flanked with columns beneath 10'6"-high beamed ceilings. Exquisitely refined millwork in the form of custom built-ins as well as crown and baseboard molding surround the room, anchored around a central stunning chandelier perfectly situated. The true focal point of this room, however, is the timeless wood burning fireplace with a marble mantel.

The windowed formal dining room is ideally situated between the kitchen and living room, complete with dark, rich herringbone wood floors. A pocket door leads into the windowed kitchen and service entrance. The kitchen includes custom wood cabinetry, Tenedos Spiral mosaic floor and backsplash tiling, and a suite of premium stainless steel appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf wall oven and cooktop, Broan hood, and Miele dishwasher.

Both bedrooms are tucked away through a separate corridor that includes two closets, one of which houses an in-unit Miele washer and dryer. The north-facing king-sized primary bedroom is bright and airy with luscious carpeting and wallpaper. Its four-fixture ensuite bathroom has two distinct vanities, and there is an exceptionally large walk-in closet. The adjacent, south-facing second bedroom has an ensuite Jack-and-Jill bathroom that is also conveniently accessible from the main gallery for any guests to utilize.

Please note that there is a separate, approximately 115-square-foot staff room unit (MR4) included in the sale of Apartment 3A. MR4 is ideal as a private home office, studio, or additional storage use.

Built in 1929 and located moments from Sutton Park and the riverfront, 444 East 57th Street is a classic prewar full-service condominium in one of Manhattan's most idyllic pockets. Full of history, this intimate building was once home to Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller. There is 24-hour doormen and elevator attendant, live-in resident manager, common outdoor space, private and bicycle storage. Pets, pied-a-terre ownership, and subletting are all permitted. Please note that there is a capital assessment of $306.25 per month for 3A, and $21.87 per month for MR4. Enjoy a refined lifestyle while remaining close to public transportation and endless shopping and dining conveniences.

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.
