Property Description

A Private Garden Paradise in the Heart of Sutton Place

Welcome to Residence 1A at 440 East 56th Street — a truly special, one-of-a-kind home offering the best of indoor-outdoor living with 900 square feet of meticulously renovated interior space and an incredible 1,150 square foot private landscaped garden.

Thoughtfully redesigned from top to bottom, this elegant 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom home is the perfect blend of sophistication, serenity, and modern functionality. The layout includes a welcoming foyer, a generous dining alcove, and a spacious living room with French doors that open directly into your private outdoor oasis.

The chef's kitchen is a masterpiece, outfitted with custom cabinetry, Miele appliances, ample counter space and a window overlooking the garden. The adjacent dining alcove comfortably seats six, while the oversized garden allows for entertaining 8–10 guests under a majestic flowering Dogwood tree, surrounded by lush Yew trees. Custom lighting, water access, and exterior electrical outlets make it a perfect setting for day or evening enjoyment.

The spa-quality bathroom features a beautifully tiled stall shower and luxurious fixtures. The bedroom is a quiet retreat with a charming bay window framing garden views and two custom California closets. With 9-foot ceilings throughout, abundant built-ins, and generous closet space, the home is both airy and practical.

Best of all, this peaceful, garden-level residence offers complete privacy and a townhouse feel — no elevator required.

440 East 56th Street is a full-service cooperative in the tranquil enclave of Sutton Place, offering a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, laundry room, bike storage, private storage, and a beautifully maintained common garden and roof deck. The building is pet-friendly and welcomes pied-a-terres.

Perfectly situated with easy access to the FDR Drive, this location is ideal for commuters heading out east or north to Connecticut, and it's just a short walk to Midtown offices, the United Nations, and the medical corridor. Enjoy nearby shopping at Whole Foods and the soon-to-arrive Trader Joe's, plus beloved neighborhood dining like Mr. Chow, Morso, and Bistro Vendôme. Spend weekends at Sutton Place Park, biking along the East River Esplanade, or playing tennis at the nearby club.

This is truly a rare and refined offering — where indoor luxury meets private garden tranquility in one of Manhattan's most elegant neighborhoods.
