Gracious south facing one bedroom, one bathroom junior four with large balcony providing an East River view. Enter the welcoming foyer into a sprawling open living area bathed in southern light. Next to the living room you will find a separate windowed dining area with built in shelving adjacent to the pass through kitchen. A whimsical Tom Otterness frieze adorns the expansive south facing windows and entrance to the balcony. The spacious bedroom offers two large closets and an abundance of natural light. This junior four offers both a sophisticated and comfortable layout that is easily converted to a two bedroom home (see alternate floor plan). Additional attributes include new through the wall air conditioning units with custom covers, hardwood parquet floors in excellent condition and more than ample storage with six large closets throughout.  Perfectly situated in the picturesque and charming neighborhood enclave of Sutton Place on the corner of 55th Street, this home is located next to Sutton Place Park which offers beautiful views of the Queensboro Bridge, riverside promenade and playground. A community conservatory maintains the manicured gardens.

This new 40-foot-wide esplanade will run over the water from 53rd to 60th Streets, parallel to the FDR Drive, allowing pedestrians to experience water on both sides while creating new, connected spaces for pedestrians and bicyclists and providing waterfront amenities.
