Sale at 50 Sutton Place S #4M

No. See the reversed plan at http://cdn-img1.streeteasy.com/nyc/image/41/41277441.gif?_ga=1.259562314.119960580.1436392453

It's maybe 520 ft². You should compare the place against similar studios, not against other 600 ft² apartments.

This is really funny: I went to see the reverse layout unit in this building around 3 years ago.

It was also on a low floor, but it felt quite spacious to me, save for the EXTREMELY tiny kitchen.

But it had the same exposure & nice garden / courtyard view. The building was very well kept, with a beautiful lobby, nice gym & Mario Cuomo as one of it's residents.

Unfortunately, it was a bit out of budget for me - otherwise I most definitely would've purchased it. Always wanted to live on Sutton or Beekman Place!

Beekman Place taste on a Bensonhurst budget...sigh...

To NWT, interesting. This apt last sold in 2010, and the sales record suggests 450 sq. ft. That suggest this price is about $1,254 per sq. ft.!!!

When looking at lines in certain buildings I've been amused to watch square footage appreciate along with price over time. I saw one jump slowly from 600 to 750 over 10 years.

540 feet seems about right , I think
