2 Sutton Pl S

Completed in 1938 and designed by Emery Roth, this 21-story prewar cooperative exemplifies classic Manhattan residential architecture. The limestone-clad building is distinguished by a semi-circular driveway and an elegant porte-cochere that lead into a grand marble foyer and staffed lobby. Apartment mix typically includes one- and two-bedroom layouts, many with formal dining areas, sunken living rooms, high beamed ceilings, original millwork, hardwood floors and working wood-burning fireplaces. Unit designs often feature generous entrance foyers, eat-in or galley kitchens with pantry or butler’s pantry options, large closets or walk-in closet installations, and in-unit washer/dryer where permitted. Common areas and building services are full-service and white-glove: 24-hour doormen, live-in resident manager/superintendent, attentive porter staff, a state-of-the-art fitness center, landscaped rooftop terrace with river and bridge panoramas, bicycle room, storage bins and central laundry facilities. Mechanical upgrades include modern HVAC and emergency generator support; some apartments have updated windows and through-wall A/C units. The co-op’s policies accommodate pets and pied-a-terres and allow partial financing (commonly up to 45–50%). Set within the Sutton Place enclave on the East River, the location provides immediate access to the East River Promenade, nearby parks, grocery options and Midtown conveniences. The building’s scale, historic detailing and full-service operations create a refined, service-oriented urban living environment.
