400 E 56TH Street #7P

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.
