Property Description for 6 Sutton Square
ARISTOTLE said, "In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous" -and walking east from Fifth Avenue, block by block, could take you home to the serene sanctuary of an exquisite two acre garden in the midst of the vibrant energy of a great city.
THE ULTIMATE PRIVATE GARDEN:
There are three other private gardens in Manhattan, but they are totally enclosed by townhouses. Only this private garden has 14 houses on three sides with one end containing 120 feet facing east directly over the turbulent water of the East River and the rising sun.
The ancient plane tree at the center of this 12,000 square foot garden is surrounded by exquisite plantings that provide a serene piece of the country accessible to only 14 townhouses that surround it.
Two of the of the original 14 houses were acquired by heiresses, Anne Morgan, the youngest daughter of JP Morgan, and Anne Harriman Vanderbilt, both with immense fortunes who intentionally chose to leave Fifth Avenue for this location and engaged the Gilded Age Architect Mott Schmidt to redesign their homes. Throughout the decades, people who could have lived anywhere in Manhattan have chosen this unique spot.
This 33' wide mansion is in an ideal location on this private garden. Once inside, you are immersed in light and greenery as every room has huge massive windows. Every aspect of the house itself is infused with the creativity and extraordinary personality of its international owner.
Its approximately 8,500 square feet on 7 levels with a hydraulic elevator includes public rooms, 7 bedrooms 7.5 baths, a private terrace plus a huge rooftop terrace with a barbecue and full kitchen overlooking the two acre private garden and roaring currents of the East River. If closely watching the seasons change on a daily basis is the magic of the gardens and the views out each window, the genius of the current floorplan is that it provides a unusual flexibility as to how the various rooms can be used.
If you see this house on a sunny day and you emerge from its private garden into the larger two acre space and saw two small children on a swing hanging from the large old tree, you might be struck by its enchantment just as this owner was.

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.
