1 Sutton Place South 7 °C

Ideally situated in the prestigious and picturesque One Sutton Place South, this splendid, renovated apartment is defined by its mesmerizing outlooks of the East River and the building’s verdant garden, its soaring high ceilings, and its impressive proportions.

This very sophisticated two-bedroom apartment has been painstakingly and comprehensively renovated, a process during which no detail was overlooked while the apartment’s coveted pre-war sensibility was perfectly maintained. This includes such underpinnings as all new windows, electrical, and plumbing, the installation of central air-conditioning with two air compressors and a humidification system, audio and alarm systems, and the painstaking restoration of the original wood paneling in the Living Room.

Upon entry, the welcoming and expansive Gallery opens to three grandly-scaled entertainment rooms, all light-flooded and with commanding views of the river and the spectacular terraced gardens of One Sutton Place South. The bright corner Living Room has a wood-burning fireplace and opens to a handsome Library. Both rooms are blessed with outlooks of the surrounding trees, the garden below, the River, and bridges, especially gorgeous when lit up against the night sky. The nearby Dining Room faces south over the garden. These rooms all share a sense of monumental proportion and glorious light. A Powder Room is conveniently accessible from the Library.

Beyond, an attractive and large eat-in chef’s Kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances is supported by a full and proper Butler’s Pantry and Laundry facilities.

A serene corner Primary Bedroom has marvelous and romantic views north and east over the East River to the 59th Street Bridge and towards the pretty townhouses nearby. Flooded with delightful morning light, the Bedroom has a spa-like ensuite bathroom with a jacuzzi tub and steam shower, as well as very ample closets.

One additional Bedroom with an ensuite bath completes this ideal residence.
