40 Sutton Pl

A mid-century condominium located in Manhattan’s Sutton Place, completed in 1966 and rising ten stories with roughly 72 residences. The property was converted to condominium ownership in 1981 and presents a brick façade typical of its era. Units range from studios/alcoves to one-, two- and three-bedroom plans, many featuring hardwood floors, renovated kitchens with granite counters, windowed baths, and a mix of private outdoor spaces including small balconies and larger terraces on select homes. The building operates as a full-service doorman condominium with a live-in superintendent and porter coverage. Shared facilities include a central laundry room, bicycle storage, rentable resident storage bins, a package room, and upgraded elevator systems. Mechanical improvements cited include a modern high-efficiency dual-fuel boiler. In-unit washer/dryers are permitted; some units show bespoke renovations such as built-in millwork, recessed sleeping alcoves, and modernized plumbing and lighting. Situated at the southwest corner of Sutton Place and East 59th Street, the building sits steps from the East River esplanade, grocery options, restaurants, and transit hubs (4/5/6/N/R/Q lines). Policies have varied by listing: flip tax (commonly 3%) may apply and pet policies differ by unit or offering, with some listings restricting pets while others allow dogs up to 35 lbs.; subletting, pied-à-terre use and investor ownership are generally permitted.
