## Property Overview

Some apartments are designed to be lived in. This one is designed to be savored.

 The SHOWSTOPPING KITCHEN at the heart of this COMPLETELY RENOVATED JUNIOR ONE BEDROOM is less appliance list and more curatorial decision. Gucci-inspired OXBLOOD LACQUER CABINETRY with brass inlay - the kind of detail a designer agonizes over and a guest never forgets. CARRERA MARBLE countertops and backsplash that run the full length, cool, luminous, and precise. And the full suite: a vented 36" WOLF STOVE, Miele refrigerator and freezer, Wolf microwave drawer, Thermador dishwasher, and wine fridge. A kitchen where every choice was deliberate - and it shows. Where serious cooking feels less like a task and more like a practice.

 The open layout flows into a sun-drenched living area anchored by a WALL OF WINDOWS, HERRINGBONE WHITE OAK FLOORS that give the room its rhythm, and a DESIGNATED DINING AREA where dinner has a sense of occasion - whether it's a quiet Tuesday or a table of eight.

 FRENCH DOORS open to a PRIVATE JUNIOR BEDROOM where BUILT-IN STORAGE and custom closets bring the quiet order that makes a small space feel genuinely generous. The RENOVATED MARBLE BATHROOM - stall shower, clean lines, cool stone underfoot - has the stillness of a room designed to slow you down. And throughout, clever storage tucked inside radiator covers speaks to the same philosophy: a beautiful home has no unresolved corners.

 Sutton Place has always known something the rest of the city is still figuring out: that the best address isn't the loudest one. Quiet tree-lined blocks, the East River a few minutes' walk away, and the new East River Esplanade - Sutton's answer to the High Line - redefining what it means to live on the water's edge. The UN and Grand Central within easy reach. Whole Foods and Trader Joe's around the corner. Everything else at a civilized distance.

 Low monthly maintenance. Full-service building. And a rare flexibility that few co-ops offer. 8U is ready. The only question is whether you are.

Showing the 40 most recent of 43 recorded sales in this period.

Every row is a recorded transaction, including ancillary spaces such as storage and staff rooms where they were sold separately. Those are excluded from the benchmark below.

### How this price compares

The median closed price for comparable studio sales at Sutton Gardens is $390,000, based on 3 sales between September 2021 and October 2022. This home is asking $539,000, $149,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $377,500 and $405,000.

- **Median closed price**: $390,000
- **Middle half**: $377,500 – $405,000
- **Based on**: 3 studio sales at Sutton Gardens
- **Period**: September 2021 – October 2022

Square footage is recorded for only 2 of these 3 sales (67%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Co-op sales rarely carry a floor area, and a figure drawn from a handful of them would not describe the rest.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Listed → in contract**: 54 days (about 8 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 99 days (about 14 weeks)

Half of these homes were in contract within 54 days (about 8 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 3 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 99 days (about 14 weeks), based on the 3 with both dates recorded. A co-op board package and its interview account for much of that.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Based on 3 studio sales at Sutton Gardens, September 2021 – October 2022. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ.

### Price trend

Median sold price for co-op studio sales in Sutton Place, 2017 to 2026. The series is held to one bedroom count and one ownership type for the same reason: an unfiltered median tracks which apartments sold, not what they were worth.

| Year | Median sold price | Sales |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2017 | $443,000 | 30 |
| 2018 | $421,250 | 18 |
| 2019 | $410,000 | 17 |
| 2020 | $406,750 | 18 |
| 2021 | $350,000 | 45 |
| 2022 | $417,500 | 52 |
| 2023 | $425,000 | 24 |
| 2024 | $431,500 | 26 |
| 2025 | $372,000 | 24 |
| 2026 | $429,500 | 12 |

This building does not have enough sales with a recorded floor area to chart its own price per square foot, which is usual for a co-op. The series above follows comparable homes across Sutton Place instead.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
