WHY THIS BUILDING MATTERS
Explore The Sutton at 959 First Avenue in Sutton Place: architecture, residences and building details with ELIKA.
The Sutton is a condominium at First Avenue and East 53rd Street, developed by Toll Brothers City Living. Goldstein Hill & West Architects and Incorporated Architecture & Design shaped a building with hand-laid brick, recessed windows and stepped upper levels.
Planning the numbers? You can compare owning with renting using ELIKA’s NYC Buy vs. Rent calculator, then model the longer-term ownership numbers with the True Carry Cost calculator.
The residential interiors combine white oak floors, broad windows and a restrained palette of wood and stone. Original kitchens use integrated appliances and marble detailing, with darker stone and herringbone patterns in selected bathrooms. Apartment sizes and layouts vary, including homes with stairs or private outdoor space.
Shared spaces include a lounge, fitness room, garden and playroom, with an attended entrance. Buyers should confirm current services, storage rights and any additional charges. The East Midtown location offers access to neighborhood restaurants and transport, while the residence's floor and orientation determine its relationship to First Avenue and the surrounding buildings.
