Description

THE COVETED A-LINE. ICONIC LANDMARK VIEWS. INTERIORS BY ROB SOUTHERN. TAXES ABATED THROUGH 2032. Welcome to Residence 12A, an exceptional three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home in The Sutton’s coveted A-line, offering nearly 2,000 square feet of beautifully designed interiors by acclaimed designer Rob Southern. With north, south, and west exposures, Residence 12A is filled with natural light throughout the day, while oversized casement windows frame sweeping city and iconic landmark views that can be enjoyed year-round. Soaring ceilings of over 10 feet and wide-plank oak floors enhance the home’s impressive scale and sophisticated character. A gracious entry gallery, with a beautifully appointed powder room nearby, leads into the heart of the residence. The chef’s kitchen features custom cabinetry, premium Gaggenau appliances, and an oversized center island, creating a seamless setting for both everyday living and entertaining. Beyond, the spectacular 30-foot living and dining room is surrounded by windows and enjoys expansive views across three sides of the city. Generous proportions, abundant light, and dramatic ceiling heights make this an extraordinary space for entertaining on a grand scale or simply enjoying the skyline from home. The serene primary suite features generous walk-in closets and a luxurious Calacatta marble bath with radiant heated floors, dual vanity, deep soaking tub, and separate glass-enclosed shower. Two additional bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned on the opposite side of the residence and share a windowed full bath, providing privacy and flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. Additional features include custom shades and curtains, central HVAC with individual temperature controls, and a brand-new in-unit washer and dryer. A curated furniture package is also available, offering the opportunity for a truly turnkey purchase. The Sutton offers an elevated collection of amenities and services, including a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a striking fitness center set beneath barrel-vaulted ceilings, children’s playroom, residents’ lounge with adjoining landscaped courtyard, cold storage, and bicycle storage. Ideally situated near Sutton Place, the residence is moments from Whole Foods Market, neighborhood dining and shopping, and convenient access to the E, M, and 6 subway lines. Adding to the home’s appeal, The Sutton benefits from a 421-a tax abatement through 2032, and an assessment of $721 will end September 30, 2026, resulting in exceptionally low monthly carrying costs for a residence of this size and caliber. Residence 12A combines grand proportions, exceptional light, iconic views, and refined design with the rare advantage of remarkably low carrying costs—all in one of Manhattan’s most established residential neighborhoods.
