A mid-century cooperative in the heart of Sutton Place
The Cooperative, completed in 1958, stands as a 19-story residential building in the prestigious Sutton Place neighborhood. This post-war structure houses 113 units, offering residents a blend of classic New York living with modern conveniences. Its simple, unadorned facade reflects the practical elegance of mid-century design, while its location provides easy access to the vibrant energy of Midtown East.
Versatile layouts from cozy studios to spacious two-bedrooms
The Cooperative offers a range of floor plans to suit various lifestyles. Studios, starting at approximately 600 square feet, provide efficient living spaces with one bathroom. One-bedroom units range from 550 to 800 square feet, with sale prices between $480,000 and $499,999. These units may feature updated kitchens with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, as well as renovated bathrooms with marble finishes.
For those seeking more space, two-bedroom units span from 882 to 1,300 square feet, accommodating up to two bathrooms. Many units boast hardwood floors, large windows, and ample closet space. Some apartments have been thoughtfully renovated to include open-concept living areas and modern fixtures.
A standout feature in select units is the private terrace, with some spanning an impressive 40 feet in length. These outdoor spaces offer panoramic city views and are perfect for entertaining or enjoying a quiet morning coffee. Many apartments provide stunning vistas of the Manhattan skyline, with some offering glimpses of the East River.
Kitchens in the renovated units often feature chef-inspired designs with breakfast bars, stone countertops, and high-end appliances from brands like SubZero, Viking, and Miele. Bathrooms may include spa-like amenities such as deep soaking tubs or glass-enclosed showers.
The building allows for customization, with some residents having installed washer/dryers in their units (subject to board approval), adding an extra layer of convenience to these already comfortable homes.
Full-service amenities with a focus on comfort and convenience
The Cooperative offers a range of amenities designed to enhance residents' daily lives. The crown jewel is the furnished roof deck, providing panoramic views of the city skyline – an ideal spot for relaxation or social gatherings. For those with furry companions, the building is notably pet-friendly, welcoming both cats and dogs.
A 24-hour doorman ensures security and assists with daily needs, while the live-in superintendent promptly addresses any maintenance issues. The building's laundry room offers convenience for residents, though many units are approved for in-unit washer/dryer installation.
Storage solutions abound with options for both bike storage and additional private storage units (subject to availability and separate fees). For residents with vehicles, an on-site garage provides secure parking, though this amenity also comes with a separate charge.
The building's commitment to modern living is evident in its policies, which allow for washer/dryer installations in individual units (with board approval) and are open to pied-à-terre ownership. This flexibility makes the Cooperative an attractive option for a variety of lifestyles, from full-time residents to those seeking a part-time city home.
