50 Sutton Place South

50 Sutton Place South is a 22-story, midcentury cooperative completed in 1956 that occupies a quiet stretch of Sutton Place with direct proximity to the East River esplanade. The property offers a range of apartment footprints—one- through four-bedroom plans—many with gracious galleries, formal dining rooms, generous living rooms and original architectural details such as crown moldings, parquet floors and built-in millwork. Numerous residences include private outdoor space (balconies or terraces) and configurations that convert living areas into dens or home offices. Common areas are traditionally maintained and white-glove in character: an elegant lobby, 24-hour doorman and concierge, attended elevators, and a live-in resident manager. Resident amenities include a windowed fitness center, staffed package room, laundry facilities, bike room, storage options and an on-site garage with monthly parking. Mechanical comfort is delivered via through-the-wall heating and AC in many units; several apartments have been modernized with chef-grade kitchens, custom closets and renovated baths. The co-op’s policies are homeowner-friendly for buyers: pets and pieds-à-terre are permitted with board approval, financing up to roughly 65% is commonly allowed, and a modest flip tax applies. Located steps from Sutton East River Park, local grocery options and quick access to the FDR Drive and Midtown, the building blends serene riverside living with full-service building conveniences.
