ICONIC LANDMARK VIEWS. INTERIORS BY ROB SOUTHERN. TAXES ABATED THROUGH 2032. Welcome to Residence 12A, an exceptional three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home in The Sutton’s coveted A-line, offering nearly 2,000 square feet of beautifully designed interiors by acclaimed designer Rob Southern. With north, south, and west exposures, Residence 12A is filled with natural light throughout the day, while oversized casement windows frame sweeping city and iconic landmark views that can be enjoyed year-round. Soaring ceilings of over 10 feet and wide-plank oak floors enhance the home’s impressive scale and sophisticated character. A gracious entry gallery, with a beautifully appointed powder room nearby, leads into the heart of the residence. The chef’s kitchen features custom cabinetry, premium Gaggenau appliances, and an oversized center island, creating a seamless setting for both everyday living and entertaining. Beyond, the spectacular 30-foot living and dining room is surrounded by windows and enjoys expansive views across three sides of the city. Generous proportions, abundant light, and dramatic ceiling heights make this an extraordinary space for entertaining on a grand scale or simply enjoying the skyline from home. The serene primary suite features generous walk-in closets and a luxurious Calacatta marble bath with radiant heated floors, dual vanity, deep soaking tub, and separate glass-enclosed shower. Two additional bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned on the opposite side of the residence and share a windowed full bath, providing privacy and flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. Additional features include custom shades and curtains, central HVAC with individual temperature controls, and a brand-new in-unit washer and dryer. A curated furniture package is also available, offering the opportunity for a truly turnkey purchase. The Sutton offers an elevated collection of amenities and services, including a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a striking fitness center set beneath barrel-vaulted ceilings, children’s playroom, residents’ lounge with adjoining landscaped courtyard, cold storage, and bicycle storage. Ideally situated near Sutton Place, the residence is moments from Whole Foods Market, neighborhood dining and shopping, and convenient access to the E, M, and 6 subway lines. Adding to the home’s appeal, The Sutton benefits from a 421-a tax abatement through 2032, and an assessment of $721 will end September 30, 2026, resulting in exceptionally low monthly carrying costs for a residence of this size and caliber. Residence 12A combines grand proportions, exceptional light, iconic views, and refined design with the rare advantage of remarkably low carrying costs—all in one of Manhattan’s most established residential neighborhoods. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Condominium - **Beds**: 3 - **Total Baths**: 3 - **Rooms**: 5 - **Sqft**: 1,947 sqft - **Stories**: 30 - **Year Built**: 2016 - **Price per Sqft**: $1,836 - **Common Charges**: $3,200 / Monthly - **Monthly Taxes**: $1,416 / mo - **Listed On**: Sep 8, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 1 Days ### Residence Features - In Unit - Building Courtyard ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales 14 apartments at THE SUTTON have recorded sales since September 2021, the most recent for $3,500,000 in May 2026.

Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable three-bedroom sales at THE SUTTON is $3,557,500, based on 4 sales between November 2021 and February 2024. This home is asking $3,575,000, $17,500 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $3,516,250 and $3,660,000. - **Median closed price**: $3,557,500 - **Middle half**: $3,516,250 – $3,660,000 - **Based on**: 4 three-bedroom sales at THE SUTTON - **Period**: November 2021 – February 2024 - **Median $/ft²**: $1,812/ft² ### How these sales were negotiated - **Listed → in contract**: 85 days (about 12 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 40 days (about 6 weeks) Half of these homes were in contract within 85 days (about 12 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 4 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 40 days (about 6 weeks), based on the 4 with both dates recorded. 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 4 three-bedroom sales at THE SUTTON, November 2021 – February 2024. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. ### Price trend Median price per square foot for sales at THE SUTTON, 2016 to 2025. Price per square foot is used rather than sale price so the line follows the market rather than whichever apartments happened to change hands that year. | Year | Median $/ft² | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2016 | $1,804/ft² | 36 | | 2017 | $1,836/ft² | 36 | | 2018 | $555/ft² | 18 | | 2019 | $1,937/ft² | 11 | | 2022 | $1,902/ft² | 3 (thin) | | 2023 | $1,754/ft² | 3 (thin) | | 2025 | $1,463/ft² | 3 (thin) | Years marked "thin" rest on fewer than 5 sales, where a single unusual apartment moves the median a long way. Read those points as the small samples they are rather than as the market turning. 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.
