Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This fairly small and charming home gets a lot of natural light; the closeness to the river also makes the home feel peaceful, which is quite rare for homes in this spot. It is found in a traditional, hundred-year-old apartment building with a welcoming tiled lobby. The quaint bedroom design feels particularly inviting and it has lots of storage space. Although the location is not the most convenient, if you are happy with a ten-minute walk to the Subway, you will benefit from a home in a very quiet and private area.
The Plum Promise
- No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
- Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.
- Rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot – Exceptional service before, during and after your stay.

About Sutton Place
Sutton Place is a cosy, affluent enclave on the East River at the upper end of Midtown. One of New York City's smallest and most exclusive neighbourhoods, its six or so tree-lined blocks are marked with regal townhouses and lovely pre-war apartment buildings. Unlike other districts in the city, Sutton Place’s cross streets end in cul-de-sacs (which means that traffic is light), opening up into delightful parks offering astounding views...
