Broker & Buyer Comments

This "well-serviced" Sutton Place residence offers "24/7 doorman" convenience on a "serene block," while maintaining "prime access" to midtown's shopping and dining scene. The building provides "practical amenities" including laundry facilities, all while nestled in one of Manhattan's most "sophisticated enclaves."
