440 East 56th St. #2C

A studio has been converted to a spacious Junior 1-bedroom home, mint condition throughout, loaded with custom closets in prime Sutton Place coop. Great flow and cozy home-like layout with bay windows, wine bar, and separate sleep space. If you dream of a home that looks new and on-trend, 2C delivers. This home lives like an apartment twice its size.

The large dressing room and adjacent walk-in closet is a luxury usually reserved for very luxurious New York City apartments. The entry gallery features a six feet wide, floor-length hanging closet, perfect for dual wardrobes, coats and more. Both the bathroom and kitchen were newly, and stylishly, renovated. The bathroom features classic tiling and a large walk-in shower. The roomy L-shaped and windowed kitchen has plenty of custom cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, and a floor-to-ceiling pantry closet. The queen-sized bedroom is big enough to walk around and make the bed.

The entertaining bar with wine cool and built in cabinetry at the back end of the living area is an elegant architectural feature. At the opposing end of the main living space, curving around the end of the room most likely to serve as a dining area, is a street-facing bay window letting in tons of natural light and expanding the spaciousness out into the visual distance beyond. The rounded and windowed end of the room makes this apartment feel like a very high-end home.

The community roof deck at Sutton Manor will become your weekend and evening oasis for entertaining friends. Or when you only have a few minutes, you can tuck into an Adirondack chair in the beautiful courtyard garden to quietly read a book. Residents benefit from a bike room, storage lockers, a central laundry room, and the attention of the live-in super and helpful doormen. Pied-a-terre and pets are okay. Coop board allows 70% financing or less.

For those who want easy access in and out of Manhattan via the FDR drive, or who just like the quiet neighborhood feel of this elegant and convenient part of the Upper East Side, Sutton is the perfect choice. Walkable to midtown, plenty of restaurants and retail nearby including Whole Foods and other groceries.
