Style, function, views and amenities come together in this most extraordinary home. For buyers who do not want to do any work and simply move right in, your patience has paid off -This is the one!
Located in an exclusive Sutton Place co-op, this oversized 2 BR+ / 2BA apartment just received a stellar renovation where an unlimited budget and meticulous attention to every detail resulted in a gorgeous home reimagined for today's sensibilities with an industrial modern flair, perfect for everyday living and fabulous entertaining!
Upon entering this apartment, you will immediately realize it is a special home. A large entry foyer with multiple closets unfolds to a huge open living space against the backdrop of unobstructed views of the East River, 59th Street Bridge and the city skyline, offering full sun all day and magical twinkling city lights at night.
The open-concept living space is exceptional. Anchored by gorgeous herringbone floors, there are full sight lines and an excellent flow. The large living area is a showstopper, with a huge bay window providing extra architectural interest. A dramatic built-in entertainment system cleverly incorporates midcentury design elements.
The kitchen is a wonder in modern design, featuring a huge storage pantry, two professional refrigerator and freezer units, dual fuel gas range, dramatic black flamed granite countertops coordinate with the custom black cabinetry, and a large island with a white Carrera marble countertop that coordinates with the Carrera marble tile cladding the walls of the entire kitchen. The island provides casual dining for four+ and the corner dining area with picture windows on two sides and built-in window seats can accommodate a table for 10+ for more formal occasions.
The primary suite is a serene sanctuary. Again with those awesome river views, it is a stunning space featuring four closets plus a huge walk-in closet (big enough to make it your Peloton room and mini-gym if so desired), and the en suite bath with a dramatic oversized shower and magnificent fixtures is absolutely stunning.
Off the foyer is a beautiful home office, an ideal feature whether working at home or doing homework and another stunning bathroom, outfitted with classic black-and-white marble and a gorgeous black lacquer Chinoiserie-style vanity. Currently outfitted as a sophisticated den, the second bedroom is large and comfortable.
Unique custom features include extensive custom millwork throughout, integrated lighting, built-in cabinetry housing HVAC and more.

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.
