Property Description for 440 East 56th Street, 2-B
Sunny, serene and sophisticated!
Sun-filled windows across every room overlook treetops and the surrounding greenery.
From the outset, this smart mid-century modern–styled foyer sets the stage for the excellent design of the entire apartment. Throughout, form continues to follow function. This spacious entryway allows room for a curated seating & console vignette, balancing the space while maximizing utility with two generously sized closets (coat & storage). This layout creates a graceful transition from the entrance into the bright, open living room, where serenity resides.
This expansive living room unfolds with remarkable flexibility, offering four distinct areas to entertain, dine, work or simply unwind as sunlight fills the room.
The dining room, as it is now, is ideally set for the golden hour and while sunlight casts about throughout the day, it is exceptionally stunning at sunset!
Naturally, the sun continues to sweep in through the massive kitchen window, illuminating a fully equipped, thoughtfully updated kitchen defined by plentiful storage and streamlined counter and cabinet space.
The spa-like marble bath sparkles and shines as sunlight glistens across botanical views beyond the window.
This enormous bedroom fits a king-sized bed set, has a wall of windows with multiple exposures, a wall of full closets and room to spare- indeed there’s a perfect place to curl up with good book and watch the afternoon go by…
Take advantage of the private outdoor spaces available to residents, including a captivating furnished roof deck with panoramic views and a beautiful botanical leafy garden- a serene repspite...

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.
