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.

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.
