Offered for the first time in nearly 50 years, Residence 2D at 2 Sutton Place South presents a rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a gracious Emery Roth-designed prewar home with exceptional proportions, timeless architectural details, and serene Sutton Place views.

Originally configured as a five-room apartment with two bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a maid's room, the residence retains its elegant prewar layout while offering exceptional potential for a thoughtful renovation tailored to modern living.

A welcoming entry foyer sets the tone for the home's expansive layout, leading to a dedicated dining area and a dramatic sunken living room featuring a fireplace. Oversized windows overlook the tranquil, tree-lined charm of Sutton Place South, bringing in lovely natural light and picturesque neighborhood views.

The apartment features two generously proportioned bedrooms (both with ensuite bathrooms), three full bathrooms, a large, windowed eat-in kitchen that has been expanded from its original footprint to incorporate the former maid's room, beautiful hardwood floors, and remarkable closet space throughout. A private storage unit transfers with the sale.
