Description

SUTTON PLACE GEM This sprawling 2 bedroom, 2 bath home with formal dining room will please those who appreciate a grand, classic and well-appointed home. Perched up high on the 8th floor, one will delight in the gracious layout. The original Classic 6 configuration has been modernized to eliminate the servant's room and bath to create a huge kitchen ideal for today's lifestyle, while maintaining all of the original prewar elegance. The oversized living room can accommodate multiple configurations and features a working wood burning fireplace, original oak floors, high ceilings and three huge picture windows with great light and open views over this tranquil and architecturally significant stretch of East 57th Street. The expanded kitchen is huge (approx. 280 square feet) and perfectly laid-out, featuring massive storage space, two large windows and a spacious windowed breakfast area with seating for 4-6. The hard work of reconfiguring the space has been done, simplifying a kitchen renovation if desired. A washer/dryer can easily be added in the large pantry, too. The large formal dining room can be converted into a third bedroom while still leaving space for a large dining area ideally situated off the kitchen and living room. The bright and spacious primary bedroom suite offers large closets and an en suite windowed bathroom (which can be expanded into the adjacent closet). The second bedroom is quiet and comfortable. An adjacent windowed bathroom is conveniently accessible to the common areas of the apartment for guest use. Sutton Place is a peaceful River enclave right in the heart of Manhattan, with the Bridge nearby making for an easy ride to the airport, out east to Long Island or to Connecticut, and walkable to work for those working in Midtown, the United Nations and the medical corridor just north of the Bridge. Quick access to the FDR Drive highway makes for a smooth Über ride downtown or to the Financial District. The location also offers close proximity to shopping at Trader Joes, Whole Food's and Midtown Catch, and excellent dining, such as Mr. Chow's, Morso, Bistro Vendome, Neary's and La Villetta which are all neighborhood favorites. Sutton Place also has a number of serene "pocket parks" and you can enjoy a bike ride or stroll along the new East River Esplanade nearby! Priced to Sell – This Will Not Last! Call Today!
