14 Sutton Square #0

Imagine finding yourself on a cul-de-sac so discreet, some of the most seasoned New Yorkers have never walked its tree lined beauty. Its hard to believe youre in New York City but you are, its called Sutton Square and nestled at the south end of the circle lies Number 14. This townhouse offers the ultimate in luxury, privacy, and exclusivity. The Square is steeped in history and has been home to a list of whos who in its 100 year existence. A short walk to Central Park and Fifth Avenue but an absolute world away.Upon entering this home the eye travels through the masterfully renovated entry and living room to the secret garden of Sutton Square. One of the largest private gardens in Manhattan, it boasts almost a square city block of perfectly manicured lawn. Accessible only to the 12 surrounding homes, it sits just passed the French doors and patio, ensconced alongside the strength and beauty of the East River. On a wrought-iron bench or whimsically swinging beneath a London plane, you cannot help but feel transported. And in the spring, when the pair of century-old crabapples burst into their white bloom your breath cannot help but catch.The garden can be enjoyed from every south-facing bay and the river, with its constant and sparkling flow can be viewed from each room in the home. Whether at street level or on the top floor the sense of calm and security is remarkable. Each of the six floors is conveniently serviced by an elevator. Through the center of the home runs a circular stair whose ebb and flow echo that of the river outside. It is hard to believe the elegance and treasured allure held by this property comes without board approval.When the sun goes down a different sort of magic illuminates the home at 14 Sutton Square and its surroundings. The lights from the 59th Street Bridge are mirrored by the changing tides below and the garden comes alive, winking with enchantment, through thoughtfully placed landscape lighting. A wonderland so rare within the bustling length of Manhattan, yet it exists.The garden is meticulously maintained, as well as sidewalks in front of each home, by the Sutton Square AssociationI invite you to look at the photos and floorpans of this exquisite property. It would be my pleasure to offer you a private tour.
