Exquisitely crafted by the award-winning design firm Drake/Anderson, this published, AD100-designed residence was the personal home of acclaimed designer Caleb Anderson. Turnkey in the fullest sense, it seamlessly blends the finest contemporary finishes with traditional prewar details that pay homage to the building’s architect, Emory Roth. The architecture, finishes, furnishings, lighting, and technology have been considered as a single composition.

Offered fully furnished, excluding all artwork and antiques, this classic five-room, two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence has been completely reconfigured and rebuilt, leaving nothing for its next owner to resolve.

Taken down to the studs, the renovation extends far beyond what is immediately visible. All-new plumbing and electrical systems, central air, and a comprehensive Crestron system controlling the lighting, audio, video, air conditioning, and window shades form the infrastructure behind interiors executed with Venetian plaster walls, handmade plaster moldings, custom SA Baxter hardware, silk moiré, and hand-painted wallcoverings. Materials recur from room to room in different expressions, creating a sense of continuity without making the spaces feel uniform.

The sunny and serene south-facing living room is composed around a fireplace, with pale finishes and sculptural, fluted plaster furnishings creating a quiet counterpoint to the rooms beyond. The kitchen shifts the palette completely, pairing dark black granite with rich custom cabinetry and a La Cornue range. That deeper tone continues into the dining room, where bold red lacquered walls and crimson tile flooring create one of the apartment’s most distinctive and original spaces.

Each bedroom possesses a character entirely its own. The primary bedroom is enveloped in blue-grey silk moiré and hand-painted wallcoverings, creating a rich and atmospheric retreat. Generous custom closets lead to a striking blue-grey marble bathroom featuring heated floors, a soaking tub, and Waterworks fixtures.

The second bedroom, currently arranged as a library, takes a different direction with ochre tones, travertine accents, velvet furnishings, custom bookshelves, and carefully selected lighting. An exquisitely crafted crème-colored marble bathroom, also appointed with Waterworks fixtures, completes the suite.

Built in 1927, the building offers a 24-hour attended lobby, a live-in Resident Manager, a fitness center, laundry facilities, and storage. Pets and pieds-à-terre are welcome, and the building now permits in-unit washer/dryers.

Nothing about this home reads as an accumulation of upgrades. Its brilliance lies in the completeness of its composition. From the plasterwork and hardware to the curated furniture and finishes already placed within the rooms, the residence has been conceived, executed, and furnished as a true work of art.

Located on one of Sutton Place’s prettiest tree-lined streets, moments from exceptional restaurants, shopping, and the vibrancy of Midtown Manhattan, a trophy residence of this caliber rarely comes to market.
