415 E 52Nd St

A full-service, midcentury cooperative built in 1956, the 19-story Sutton House comprises roughly 134 units of one- to three-bedroom layouts arranged around a central tower with lower flanking wings. Architecturally it reflects postwar scale and proportion: high ceilings in many apartments, large southerly windows, and a combination of gallery-style living rooms and separate dining areas that accommodate converted alcoves or third bedrooms. Interiors commonly feature hardwood floors, generous closets, formal foyers, built-in storage and classic galley kitchens; selective residences have been renovated with modern cabinetry, stone counters and updated baths while others retain original midcentury details. Common areas are robust for a coop: a staffed 24-hour doorman/concierge, live-in resident manager, fitness center, children’s playroom, laundry room, multiple landscaped roof decks, planted courtyards and garden-facing lower units. Practical services include on-site garage parking (shareholder discounts and EV chargers noted in listings), bicycle and private storage rooms, building-wide water filtration, and long-standing superintendent support. The building is pet-friendly (board rules apply), allows pied-a-terre and varied financing arrangements, and sits on a quiet cul-de-sac between Sutton Place and Beekman Place, minutes from grocery options, parkland, East River pathways and multiple subway lines.
