Property Description for 400 East 56th Street, 7-P

Welcome to an exceptionally spacious and flexible two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with a private south-facing balcony at Plaza 400, one of Sutton's premier full-service cooperatives.

A proper entry foyer introduces the gracious scale of this home and opens to an expansive living room with excellent space for both entertaining and everyday living. Just beyond is a large, separate dining area with its own HVAC unit, offering tremendous flexibility. Use it as a generous formal dining room, home office, or easily convert it to a third bedroom.

The windowed kitchen is unusually large, while the split-bedroom layout provides excellent privacy. The king-sized primary bedroom features abundant closet space and a beautifully renovated en-suite windowed bathroom. The second bedroom is also generously proportioned and privately situated on the opposite side of the apartment.

Southern and eastern exposures provide excellent natural light, while the south-facing balcony creates a wonderful private outdoor retreat. Storage is exceptional, with six remarkably spacious closets throughout the apartment.

The primary bathroom was renovated just a few years ago and remains in excellent condition. The kitchen and second full bathroom have been very well maintained and are entirely usable as they are, while also presenting an opportunity for the next owner to customize them to their own taste.

Additional features include high ceilings, through-the-wall air conditioning.

Plaza 400 is an iconic white-glove cooperative known for its oversized apartments, gracious floor plans, outstanding financials, elegant lobby, circular entrance driveway, and exceptional array of amenities. Residents enjoy a state-of-the-art fitness center, large laundry room, children's playroom, package room, bike room (fee), storage (fee), and an on-site valet garage offering reduced rates for residents.

The building's signature amenity is the magnificent Skytop Lounge and rooftop retreat, featuring a heated outdoor swimming pool (fee) and expansive furnished deck with panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline.

Maintenance includes all utilities. Plaza 400 is pet-friendly and permits guarantors, co-purchasing, trust ownership, parents buying for children, and pieds-à-terre. Subletting is permitted with Board approval for three out of five years following three years of residency. Financing up to 70% is permitted. A 2% flip tax is payable by the buyer. No washer/dryer in the units.

Ideally located in Sutton on a beautiful residential block, Plaza 400 offers easy access to Midtown, the East River Greenway, multiple subway and bus lines, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and an outstanding selection of neighborhood restaurants.

For buyers seeking space, flexibility, private outdoor space, and full-service living, #7P offers a combination that is increasingly difficult to find in Manhattan.

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.
