Description

This rare gem, a duplex residence bathed in natural light at the center of this coveted Rosario Candela building, defines elegance. Graceful proportions and dozens of oversized windows enjoy panoramic views of the East River as well as towards Sutton Place to the West. Originally eight rooms and now configured as a four bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath residence, this glorious home impresses at each turn with its exceptional scale, character, and grandeur. Perfectly positioned along the building’s central axis, the home enjoys open views over the lush garden, the East River, and beyond. Located within the prestigious and picturesque One Sutton Place South, the celebrated Rosario Candela-designed address, this remarkable apartment was prized by Legendary designer, Betsy Sherrill, and cannot be duplicated.

From a private elevator vestibule, the elegant Gallery, anchored by a curved staircase to the upper level, sets the tone for the residence beyond. Thoughtfully designed for both refined everyday living and grand entertaining, the layout unfolds with exceptional grace and balance. Having both eastern and western exposures, the home is filled with glorious natural light throughout the day.

The principal rooms are distinguished by their impressive scale, soaring ceilings, and gracefully proportioned interiors, while six oversized windows frame sweeping views of the East River and the lush treetops of the magnificent garden below. Over 30 feet in length, the grand Living Room is particularly striking: anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, while a stone-clad loggia with an adjoining wet bar flows seamlessly into a richly appointed Library.

An expansive eat-in Kitchen with a walk-through Butler’s Pantry is seamlessly accessible from both the Library and the formal Dining Room, overlooking the famed Sutton Place and bathed in abundant western light. A discreet Powder Room completes the reception spaces on this level.

An elegant curved marble staircase ascends from the gallery to the upper level, where three generous Bedrooms are situated. There is a second private elevator vestibule on this level, allowing for direct access from the lobby, or easy movement between the two floors.
The Primary Suite is truly exceptional, featuring a massive Bedroom supported by two fitted Dressing Closets and an ensuite bathroom is graced with a woodburning fireplace, three huge east-facing windows and French doors opening to a rare and charming balcony with glorious garden and river vistas.

Two additional Bedrooms are bright, spacious and quiet, each with ensuite bathroom and ample closets, completing the upper floor.
In a wing off the 9th floor gallery, staff rooms were thoughtfully combined to create an expansive home office with its own bathroom, which is easily adaptable to be a light-flooded large fourth bedroom with built-ins and closets.

This magnificent duplex at One Sutton Place South is a stellar example of Rosario Candela’s superior and sophisticated talent. Architecturally exquisite, the building’s gracious 1927 design features a grand triple-arched recessed porte-cochere and a private tiered riverfront garden. One of Manhattan’s most celebrated and sought-after addresses, the cooperative’s amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, use of its delightful private garden, and dedicated private storage. Impeccable service includes full-time doormen and a resident manager. Pets are welcome and can enjoy a mile of daily walks along the newly landscaped East River embankment.
