$1.2M colorful Sutton Place co-op has classic bones and dramatic bridge and river views

This handsomely decorated two-bedroom apartment at 400 East 59th Street on the East Side’s quietly elegant Sutton Place balances classic pre-war details with sweeping New York City views. The co-op’s many charms include colorful and luxurious interiors, two renovated baths, herringbone-patterned floors, high ceilings, and original casement windows. Asking $1,200,000, the home boasts multiple exposures and outstanding views of the 59th Street Bridge, the East River, and the Manhattan skyline.

A gracious entry foyer opens to a classic sunken living room. This elegant living and entertaining space boasts a working wood-burning fireplace to add warmth to winter nights.

Rooms are arranged to allow an easy flow between them; each has been designed with its own colorful personality. A compact kitchen is both practical and dramatic, with black lacquered cabinets and tiled backsplash, and contrasting granite countertops.

The home’s two bedrooms are accessed through an arched doorway. The primary bedroom is a large corner chamber surrounded by dazzling city views. Its en-suite bath is done in a classic vintage white with crisp black accents.

The second bedroom is currently a bright and buoyant library done in two shades of apple green. A second en-suite bath continues the colorful classic theme.

Built in 1928, the pet-friendly co-op offers a full-time door attendant, a live-in super, a landscaped courtyard, laundry facilities, and a bicycle room. As a bonus, the co-op fee includes electricity and cable service, and pied-a-terres, co-purchasing, and guarantors are allowed.
