From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Perched high above Sutton Place on the 28th floor of Plaza 400, Residence 28N is an expansive three-bedroom, three-bathroom home with a private terrace and extraordinary open views spanning the East River and Manhattan skyline. Walls of windows frame sweeping eastern vistas over the East River and Queensboro Bridge, while open southern exposures capture some of New York's most iconic landmarks, including the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building, with the Midtown and Downtown skylines stretching beyond. The generously proportioned layout offers exceptional flexibility and a wonderful separation of living, dining and sleeping spaces. An expansive living room and separate windowed dining room is surrounded by natural light and opens directly onto the private terrace - an incredible vantage point from which to take in the city and river below. Three well-proportioned bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including two en-suite baths, provide the space and versatility increasingly difficult to find in Manhattan. With its remarkable exposures, abundant windows, generous room sizes, windowed kitchen and highly functional layout, 28N presents an exceptional opportunity to create a spectacular high-floor home in one of Sutton Place's most established cooperatives. Plaza 400 is a full-service, white-glove cooperative known for its extensive services and amenities. Residents enjoy a 24-hour doorman and concierge, security desk, staffed package room, live-in superintendent and on-site management. The building's impressive amenity offering includes a recently renovated fitness center, yoga studio, children's playroom, laundry room, bicycle storage, resident storage and garage. Crowning the building is its spectacular and recently renovated rooftop level, featuring the seasonal heated Skytop Pool, Skytop Lounge and Skytop Office, along with extraordinary 360-degree views of Manhattan and the East River. An increasingly rare benefit of ownership at Plaza 400: monthly maintenance includes central air conditioning, heat, water and electricity. The building permits up to 70% financing and is pet friendly. Pieds-a-terre, guarantors, co-purchasing, gifting, parents purchasing for children, and trust purchases are permitted. The general subletting policy allows subletting for three out of five years following three years of residency, subject to board approval. A 2% flip tax is payable by the buyer. Ideally positioned in Sutton Place, Plaza 400 offers convenient access to the East River Esplanade and Sutton Place Park, along with neighborhood restaurants, shopping and everyday conveniences. Trader Joe's, Whole Foods Market, Bloomingdale's and the 59th Street/Lexington Avenue transportation hub are all nearby, with convenient access to the E, M, 6 and Q subway lines, multiple bus routes and the Queensboro Bridge. Several photos have been virtually staged for illustrative purposes only where indicated therein. All measurements and square footages are approximate and all information should be confirmed by customer.
