400 E 59Th St

A pre-war, 17-story cooperative completed in 1929 and sited in Sutton Place, this full‑service building is characterized by classic masonry façades, high ceilings and period detailing. Residences are primarily studios and one-bedroom plans (with occasional larger units shown in listings) featuring herringbone or mahogany hardwood floors, decorative fireplaces, oversized casement windows and original beamed ceilings preserved alongside modernized kitchens and windowed baths. Apartments commonly include generous foyers, multiple closets and built‑ins, plus eat‑in or windowed kitchens with updated appliances. Common areas reflect old‑world elegance: a staffed 24‑hour doorman lobby, multiple passenger and service elevators, a planted courtyard/garden, seasonal roof deck and a roof terrace with city views. Building services and conveniences include a live‑in superintendent, on‑site laundry, private storage rooms, bicycle storage and central utilities often rolled into maintenance (electricity, heat and basic cable noted in listings). The co‑op’s policies are relatively flexible for the neighborhood: pet friendly, pied‑à‑terre permitted, up to 75% financing and occasional short assessments. Situated across from neighborhood grocers and within easy walking distance of transit, the building offers a quiet, residential Sutton Place lifestyle with convenient access to Midtown amenities.
