Property Details
Description
Enjoy stunning, south-facing views in this high floor converted one-bedroom apartment. Perched on the 9th floor of a well-maintained doorman building at the crossroads of Sutton Place and Midtown East, this spacious home offers exceptional value and versatility. Why rent when you can own a piece of New York City?
The largest footprint of a studio in the building, the living room offers enough space to create separate living, dining, and work areas. The bedroom, which shares no walls with any other apartment, also features an open south-facing view, and comfortably fits a queen-sized bed with additional furnishings. Hardwood floors, a windowed kitchen and bath, and a dedicated dressing area enhance both comfort and functionality. With two oversized entry closets and abundant natural light from dual exposures, this home is as practical as it is inviting.
Whether as your primary residence or a pied-à-terre, ownership here means you can enjoy a building with an on-site super, part-time doorman, and convenient laundry facilities. Sublets are permitted after one year of ownership. Convenient access to Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, PJ Clarke’s, Crumbly Café, and many more coveted local gems. Just two blocks from the E/M/6 train station at 53rd St, 5 blocks from the 59th St Express station with the 4/5/6/N/R/W trains, and easily accessible to both the East River Promenade and Central Park for your green space, this apartment is at the heart of all New York City has to offer.
