Property Description for 30 Sutton Place, PH-A

Penthouse 15A at 30 Sutton Place is a truly singular residence, distinguished by its extraordinary privacy, two beautifully landscaped terraces, sweeping East River and Midtown views, and an exceptional sense of scale. A rare offering in one of Manhattan's most coveted enclaves, this sophisticated two bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom penthouse combines gracious prewar proportions with beautifully reimagined interiors and an abundance of glorious outdoor space.

A private elevator landing opens directly into a charming foyer, setting the tone for this elegant apartment. The gracious living room is defined by soaring 10-foot ceilings, a wood burning fireplace, and expansive windows overlooking the East River and city skyline. Bathed in natural light, the living room opens effortlessly to the dining area and a dramatic, window wrapped solarium. Completely rebuilt, this space serves as an extraordinary year-round retreat, offering panoramic views and direct access to both of the home's terraces.

The beautifully renovated kitchen marries sophisticated design with exceptional functionality, featuring custom cabinetry, top of the line appliances, and carefully considered finishes. The adjoining dining area creates an elegant setting for intimate dinners and effortless entertaining, complemented by the extraordinary terraces, which offer a private outdoor retreat for dining, lounging, and enjoying the city.The serene primary bedroom is generously proportioned and enjoys its own wood burning fireplace, abundant closet space, and direct access to the terrace. The second bedroom has been thoughtfully conceived as a handsome library and guest retreat, offering a warm and inviting space that can easily adapt to the needs of its next owner. Two beautifully renovated full bathrooms and a powder room feature elevated finishes, while a windowed laundry room adds an uncommon measure of convenience.The two expansive terraces are perhaps the residence's most remarkable feature.

With open vistas stretching along the East River and toward Midtown, the terraces offer an unparalleled setting for morning coffee, outdoor dining, cocktails at sunset, or entertaining beneath the skyline.

Adding to the apartment's rarity is a private wine cellar and former staff room on the lobby level, an unusually valuable and versatile extension of the residence. The separate space offers exceptional storage and the potential to serve as a wine room, a private office or other ancillary space according to the needs of its next owner. In addition, a storage space in the basement transfers with the apartment. Built as a cooperative in 1928, 30 Sutton Place is an intimate and beautifully maintained prewar building with just 42 residences. Its handsome lobby, attentive full-time doormen, and dedicated staff, including a live in Resident Manager, reflect the discreet, highly personal service for which the building is known.

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.
