Welcome to Residence 26L at Plaza 400 - A Bright and Expansive Corner Home with City and River Views

Step into this stunning, nearly 1,500 square foot two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence perched high on the 26th floor, where open skies and sweeping river and city views surround you from three exposures. A private balcony invites you to soak in the sun or unwind with a glass of wine as the skyline unfolds before you.

This sun-drenched home features an expansive and flexible layout with a grand living room that easily accommodates a separate formal dining area or the opportunity to create a windowed eat-in kitchen while still maintaining a generous dining space. Perfect for entertaining or simply living in comfort and style.

The king-sized bedrooms are thoughtfully split for optimal privacy and share no adjoining walls with neighboring units, offering exceptional tranquility. The primary suite boasts direct river views, a windowed en-suite bath, and a linen closet for added convenience.

Storage abounds with seven oversized closets, including three walk-ins and a spacious 6" x 11" entry foyer. Lovely parquet floors run throughout the home, and a discreet service entrance adds to the functionality of this elegant layout.

- A newly renovated Sky Top Lounge
- Heated rooftop pool with panoramic views

- Fully equipped fitness center with yoga studio
- Professional-grade laundry facilities

Maintenance includes all utilities, and subletting is permitted after three years of residency (for up to three out of every five years, with board approval). Up to 70% financing allowed. 2% flip tax payable by the Buyer.

With its elegant circular driveway, stately lobby, and unmatched amenities, Plaza 400 is a standout in Sutton Place. Just moments from the East River Esplanade, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, top restaurants, and multiple subway and bus lines, this home offers the very best of Manhattan living.
