Overlooking Manhattan’s East River and located in the prestigious enclave of Sutton Place is this historic four-story townhouse at 11 Sutton Place, home of celebrated architect I.M. Pei
Perched above Manhattan’s East River and located within the prestigious tree-lined enclave of Sutton Place is this historic townhouse and home of celebrated architect I.M. Pei and his wife, Eileen. Acquired by the couple more than 45 years ago, this Sutton Place four-story residence offers exceptional provenance and the sophisticated modernist aesthetic Pei was famous for.
THE RESIDENCE The townhouse at 11 Sutton Place comprises four to five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and two powder rooms, plus a basement, with all floors serviced by a private elevator. Light, airy, and with impeccable interior and exterior renovations designed and implemented by I.M. Pei. This exceptional property features dramatic floor-to-ceiling picture windows facing the verdant Sutton Square Gardens, with views of the East River, Queensboro Bridge, and beyond. At the heart of the house is a grand marble foyer and breathtaking spiral staircase of Mr. Pei’s design. Ascending from the first floor to the home’s three upper levels, the staircase is capped with a large oblong skylight enhanced with a geometric treatment, reminiscent of Mr. Pei’s famed glass pyramid at the Louvre. The updated kitchen and marble floored formal dining room with fireplace provides access to the owner’s private garden and residents’ park, Sutton Square Gardens, through its glass sliding doors.
With exclusive access to Sutton Square Gardens, the townhouse features interior finishes designed by I.M. Pei
The living room, where the Peis loved to host lively intellectual affairs with their circle of friends, global dignitaries, and artists, offers floor-to-ceiling views of the park and the river. The parlor floor also leads to a magnificent library with towering built-in bookshelves and one fireplace, of three, designed by I.M. Pei. The library can easily be converted to a fifth bedroom. The third floor features a spacious and serene master bedroom with views of the Queensboro Bridge, and down the hall from the master is the second bedroom, featuring a luxurious vanity lined with mirrors, and ample closet space. This room also has a charming nook facing Sutton Place and 58th Street. On the fourth floor, the rear-facing bedroom overlooks the garden’s treetops and Roosevelt Tramway while the front bedroom on this floor also provides a delightful nook, perfect for a home office or small library. Additional features of the townhouse include four working fireplaces, a powder room on the main floor, an elevator serving all four levels, a temperaturecontrolled wine cellar, and basement with potential for further enhancement.
