Description

With 65 feet of unobstructed river front living and 1,175 square feet of private outdoor space high atop Sutton Place South, Penthouse 19S maximizes its direct river views at every opportunity. Freshly and completely renovated, this residence is the picture of refined living overlooking the East River. This penthouse duplex has three bedrooms, four bathrooms, one powder room, a formal library/den, two fireplaces - a wood/gas burning fireplace in the living room, and a wood burning fireplace in the primary bedroom, as well as a sunroom and three distinct terraces, each with breathtaking views.

Occupying the top two levels of the south tower, no detail was overlooked when creating this dreamscape perched high above the East River Promenade. A Carrara marble tiled foyer greets you as you enter the lower floor of this residence. Here you will find the kitchen, dining room, living room, den/library and one of three bedrooms. Custom millwork abounds, with closets integrated seamlessly into the Phillip Jeffries wallcoverings. The eat-in-kitchen, with Ann Sacks tiles and backsplash, features a La Cornue French range with pot filler faucet, dual dishwashers, and several rich-wood storage closets with slide out drawers for ease of access. There is also a dedicated laundry closet with an in-unit Miele washer and dryer. The expansive dining room flows directly onto the graceful and spacious living room, which features the first of two working fireplaces. Just beyond the living room lies a separate library that can serve as a media room or den, creating a full 65 feet of unobstructed river frontage that can fulfill any entertainment need you could imagine, whether that be intimate gatherings or large celebrations.

Enter the lower floor terrace through the library or the adjacent bedroom with walls covered in fine ultra-suede, two large custom closets, and its own en-suite bathroom. Each terrace features a self-irrigation drip system as well as access to water and electric. A powder room, done by Artistic Tile, just off of the foyer and next to the sweeping staircase, completes the lower floor.

The impressive yet inviting staircase replete with mahogany and Phillip Jeffries wallpaper takes you upstairs to one of the most replete primary bedroom suites found on the East Side. Two dressing rooms and two full bathrooms with heated floors are just the beginning of everything this palatial suite has to offer. Access the first dressing room from the landing, with built-in mahogany dressers, closets with full length mirrors laid into the intricate woodwork, and a rolling ladder to accommodate the extended storage granted by 10-foot-high ceilings. The generously-sized second dressing room, with pleather-covered built-in dressers and mahogany cabinetry, has its own full bathroom with glass encased spa steam shower and Toto heated self-cleaning toilet. The crown jewel of this space is twofold: the private terrace with 13 feet of unobstructed river views and the sunroom that encases the second full bathroom as well as the adjacent office. Relax at the end of the day in your own private spa with a soaking tub overlooking the East River as you watch Roosevelt Island and beyond illuminate at night. This luxurious primary suite is complete with a working fireplace as well as additional storage hidden in the ceiling.

The third terrace, located on this level, can be entered through the primary suite's office or from the bright and airy third bedroom. A built-in desk with shelving in addition to custom closets, an en-suite bathroom, and quilted fabric walls finish off this third and final bedroom. A Lutron system is found throughout the apartment.

Penthouse 19S is the epitome of lavish East Side cooperative living. 60 Sutton Place South, designed by Arthur Weiser and completed in 1951, boasts an on-site garage, full-time doorman, live-in resident manager, six elevators, and a large garden courtyard between the north and south towers. Laundry facilities and a fitness center are located in the building and pets as well as pieds-a-terre are welcome. The 2% flip tax is payable by the purchaser.
