(MARILYN MONROE & ARTHUR MILLER LIVED RIGHT UPSTAIRS!)

You Just Know.

You know when you enter a home and you immediately get that good feeling? You enter the big marble foyer, you take in the grand living room, and you begin to discover and explore the big rooms — and something special happens. Something comes over you, you decompress, and you just feel it.

The large scale feels right, the easy flow works; the windows are big; the rooms are classic, fresh, and bright; the beamed ceilings are high; the fireplaces actually work; the generous closets are outfitted; the eat-in kitchen is large, sun-filled, and gorgeous; there is a washer/dryer, central ac, and a bonus media room (4th bedroom); the marble bathrooms are perfect and tasteful; the bedrooms are sizable, sun-filled, and serene; and all four exposures are ideal. It all works. You know that feeling when you just know?

The current owners of this prized Pre-war condo home have stylishly renovated his heroic home from top to bottom and back to the slab -- nothing was overlooked -- and everything, from the new copper plumbing to the upgraded electrical system, and from the fantastic custom floors to the beautiful plasterwork, was redone, reimagined, and redefined. Now, you get to enjoy the fruits of their smart and elegant choices.

Grand, fresh, and fantastic, this resplendent residence has classic Sutton DNA coursing through its handsome veins, yet this glamourous, feel-good home is fully relevant and perfectly poised for a beautiful, big 21st Century life. Its over-scaled rooms allow you to stretch out and relax, its fantastic flow works well for easy-living and comfortable entertaining, there are big walls for art, custom built-ins, big windows bringing you lovely light at every turn, a designer kitchen with top-shelf appliances (XO wine cooler, Sub-Zero fridge, Sharp microwave, and Thermador oven and dishwasher), ample marble counters and custom cabinets, enviable storage, and well-scaled rooms that offer a lovey sense of place and peace.

Perfectly positioned on a high floor in its coveted, well-served and well-run, pet-friendly Sutton Place condominium building (famous for its dedicated, seasoned staff, resident manager, lovely lobby, and prime location), this easy-to-love and easy-to-live home is the renovated, winsome choice that stands out for all the best reasons.

Here, you get to enjoy a primo perch in a convenient, pristine neighborhood with an authentic, heart-warming, storied soul. Shops are boutique and vendors know your name and what you like. Sutton Park is at your doorstep by your block's heart-warming cul-de-sac. The newly opened East River Promenade expansion offers you magical moments along the water. Every area shopping (Whole Foods), dining, cultural, and fitness destination is a stone's throw from you — transportation is easy — and you are supremely situated by the Upper Eastside, downtown, and midtown.

You know when you enter a home and you immediately get that good feeling? You just know...you know?
