Description

CAN BE OFFERED FURNISHED. High above the city on the 27th floor, this breathtaking two bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence offers approximately 1,947 square feet of interior space complemented by two expansive private terraces spanning over 800 square feet. Designed for a seamless indoor–outdoor lifestyle, the home delivers a true penthouse experience, with sweeping Manhattan skyline and East River views unfolding from nearly every room. Set within The Sutton Condominium, this home is part of the coveted Terrace Collection, distinguished by contemporary craftsmanship, refined materials, and thoughtful architectural detailing. From the moment you enter, the sense of scale and light is immediate. The expansive great room is framed by dramatic 270-degree exposures and soaring ceilings reaching up to 11 feet, flooding the space with natural light throughout the day. A striking ethanol-fueled Planika fireplace with real flame anchors the living area, which flows seamlessly onto a spectacular terrace showcasing iconic New York City views. The adjacent dining area transitions effortlessly into the chef’s kitchen, outfitted with a full suite of top-of-the-line Gaggenau appliances, double stacked full-size ovens, a 50-bottle wine refrigerator, a discreet microwave drawer, and Glassos countertops atop a generous center island designed for both performance and gathering. Thoughtful upgrades include a garbage disposal, Watermark fixtures, and a separate filtered-water spout. A sculptural powder room clad in Nero Marquina with Bardiglio stone floors completes the public spaces. Occupying the northeast corner, the primary suite is a serene experience with open East River views and direct access to a private east-facing terrace-perfect for sunrise mornings. The luxurious, windowed ensuite bath features Calacatta marble walls, a Nero Marquina marble rain-head shower, a deep soaking tub, radiant herringbone-patterned floors, and Watermark fixtures. The expansive wall of closets are outfitted with custom handmade LEMA Italian clay doors, integrated lighting, glass shelving, and concealed charging outlets. The second bedroom is equally well-appointed, offering a large walk-in closet and a windowed ensuite bath with a glass-enclosed soaking tub and shower, along with custom textured wall finishes. This residence is enhanced by an extensive Crestron smart home system, providing integrated control of climate, lighting, shades, and entry, with built-in ceiling speakers, terrace-ready Sonos, and wall-mounted control panels. Additional highlights include keyless front-door entry, hose hookups on both terraces, and exceptional overhead kitchen storage extending to the ceiling. A full size LG Smart washer/dryer is discreetly located within the residence. Designed for elevated living, The Sutton offers a full suite of amenities including a 24-hour doorman, on-site resident manager, 3,000-square-foot fitness center, children’s playroom, residents’ lounge with fireplace, landscaped outdoor garden patio, bike room, and private storage. A truly exceptional offering combining light, scale, outdoor space, and sophisticated technology-high above the city.
