Description

This magnificent and rare duplex residence at One Sutton Place South delights with exceptionally graceful proportions, glorious sunlight, and sweeping river outlooks. Situated in one of Rosario Candela’s architectural masterworks, among the most coveted and storied addresses in Manhattan, this splendid cooperative apartment delivers a sublimely elegant lifestyle, complemented by impeccable white glove service in a tranquil yet convenient location.

Long admired for its gracious architecture, One Sutton Place South is also celebrated for its remarkable private garden, a true retreat from the bustle of the city’s pace. Its location along the river provides exceptional serenity and privacy while maintaining close proximity to midtown and Madison Avenue’s boutiques and restaurants, as well as many of Manhattan’s best schools. The building is adjacent to the newly created East River Promenade Park and offers quick access to several airports, Long Island, and Upstate.

This spectacular four-bedroom duplex is ideally situated along the building’s center axis, poised high above the trees dotting the carefully landscaped, secluded garden. It boasts 100 linear feet of open views of the East River, green hillsides and a dramatic skyline. Beyond the peaceful garden, one enjoys captivating scenes of boats gliding along the river by day and a romantic lightshow twinkling by night.

Each room is distinguished by impressive scale, soaring ceilings, and unmistakable refinement.

This stately flow of rooms is lit by six panoramic windows and can readily accommodate 100 guests or suit more intimate family gatherings.

The Orient-themed Dining Room is generously sized for large dinner parties, with three windows facing West. A bright eat-in Kitchen and proper Butler’s Pantry boast duplicate appliances and endless cabinets. This apartment was prized by celebrated designer, Betty Sherrill, who entertained hundreds at her legendary annual holiday party here.

An attractive Office with an ensuite bathroom has ample built-ins, as well as separate elevator access. This flexible space could easily be re-configured into a fourth bedroom suite, a playroom or studio. A powder room and coat closet complete this level.

Ascend the curved staircase to the private quarters on the tenth floor, also accessible by the private elevator with its own vestibule.
