Midtown’s quiet and exclusive Sutton Place enclave is offering up this newly renovated 2-bedroom at a price that’s hard to beat.

Both bedrooms can fit a king-size bed and there are five closets throughout, including a spacious walk-in situated just outside the windowed bathroom.
This petite 1-bedroom packs in the charm and comfort.
