Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Within walking distance of Central Park and the sights of Fifth Avenue, this brownstone townhouse couldn’t be more in the thick of it. You won’t need a car here, but if you do intend on bringing a vehicle, there are two paid public parking garages next door. Multiple communal areas make this place ideal for any group – though you’ll need to be able to manage stairs, as the home is spread across four floors. There’s ample storage and wardrobe space, which is ideal for longer stays, and the private patio is a rarity in this postcode.

Home truths
Just so you know, the two en-suite bathrooms are Jack and Jill style.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started. The nearest supermarket is a seven-minute walk away.

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...
