From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Penthouse 15A at 30 Sutton Place is a truly singular residence, distinguished by its extraordinary privacy, two beautifully landscaped terraces, sweeping East River and Midtown views, and an exceptional sense of scale. A rare offering in one of Manhattan's most coveted enclaves, this sophisticated two bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom penthouse combines gracious prewar proportions with beautifully reimagined interiors and an abundance of glorious outdoor space. A private elevator landing opens directly into a charming foyer, setting the tone for this elegant apartment. The gracious living room is defined by soaring 10-foot ceilings, a wood burning fireplace, and expansive windows overlooking the East River and city skyline. Bathed in natural light, the living room opens effortlessly to the dining area and a dramatic, window wrapped solarium. Completely rebuilt, this space serves as an extraordinary year-round retreat, offering panoramic views and direct access to both of the home's terraces. The beautifully renovated kitchen marries sophisticated design with exceptional functionality, featuring custom cabinetry, top of the line appliances, and carefully considered finishes. The adjoining dining area creates an elegant setting for intimate dinners and effortless entertaining, complemented by the extraordinary terraces, which offer a private outdoor retreat for dining, lounging, and enjoying the city.The serene primary bedroom is generously proportioned and enjoys its own wood burning fireplace, abundant closet space, and direct access to the terrace. The second bedroom has been thoughtfully conceived as a handsome library and guest retreat, offering a warm and inviting space that can easily adapt to the needs of its next owner. Two beautifully renovated full bathrooms and a powder room feature elevated finishes, while a windowed laundry room adds an uncommon measure of convenience.The two expansive terraces are perhaps the residence's most remarkable feature.

With open vistas stretching along the East River and toward Midtown, the terraces offer an unparalleled setting for morning coffee, outdoor dining, cocktails at sunset, or entertaining beneath the skyline. Adding to the apartment's rarity is a private wine cellar and former staff room on the lobby level, an unusually valuable and versatile extension of the residence. The separate space offers exceptional storage and the potential to serve as a wine room, a private office or other ancillary space according to the needs of its next owner. In addition, a storage space in the basement transfers with the apartment. Built as a cooperative in 1928, 30 Sutton Place is an intimate and beautifully maintained prewar building with just 42 residences. Its handsome lobby, attentive full-time doormen, and dedicated staff, including a live in Resident Manager, reflect the discreet, highly personal service for which the building is known.
