Sutton Gardens is a 12-story cooperative built in 1956 along a tree-lined block in Sutton Place, Manhattan. The property offers a mix of studios and one- to three-bedroom layouts, many of which retain prewar proportions such as generous foyers, high ceilings, formal dining areas, and abundant closet space. Interior character is often enhanced with crown molding, hardwood floors, custom built-ins, windowed kitchens and baths, and renovations in select units that add modern finishes and smart wiring. The building’s footprint is organized around a central landscaped courtyard garden that provides quiet, green views from many apartments; several residences also include private balconies or small outdoor spaces. Common areas and services include a 24-hour doorman, live‑in superintendent, on-site garage, laundry rooms, bicycle storage and multiple storage rooms; washers and dryers may be installed in units with board approval. The co-op’s policies are relatively flexible for the neighborhood: pets, pied-à-terre ownership, and co-purchasing are permitted subject to board approval, and there is a sublet policy after an initial ownership period. Located steps from Clara Coffey Park and the East River Greenway, the building sits within easy walking distance of supermarkets, restaurants and public transit in Midtown East.
