Carolyne Roehm Lists Her Iconic Sutton Place Duplex for $5.5 Million
New York style icon Carolyne Roehm is parting with her bespoke Sutton Place duplex, asking $5.5 million through Charles Holmes and Evita LaSasso of Coldwell Banker Warburg. Set on the 12th and 13th floors of the 1929 landmark 322 East 57th Street, the residence captures the grace of a bygone Manhattan era while offering modern comforts.
Roehm—former fashion designer and protégé of Oscar de la Renta—bought the home in 2004 for $4.7 million. Two decades later, her meticulously curated apartment remains a showcase of New York luxury real estate.
Classic Architecture, Contemporary Ease
A private elevator opens to a limestone gallery and a grand 27-by-27-foot great room beneath 18-foot coffered ceilings. Marble fireplaces, striped pilasters, and towering casement windows frame sweeping skyline views. An oval dining room glows under recessed dome lighting, while the windowed kitchen hides a butler’s pantry behind sleek cabinetry.
Refined Upper-Level Living
Upstairs, a wood-paneled study with a fireplace invites quiet evenings. The sunlit primary suite features a spa bath with a soaking tub and steam shower. Two additional en-suite bedrooms include one converted to an opulent dressing room.
Prestigious Address and Amenities
Known as the “Mr. Chow building,” this pre-war treasure offers a 24-hour doorman, generous storage, and prime Midtown access. Monthly maintenance is $10,399, reflecting full-service care and exclusivity.
“When I first walked in, it felt like meeting a twin,” Roehm once said, noting how the pilasters and ceilings echoed her Connecticut estate, Weatherstone.
Timeless Manhattan Luxury
With dramatic proportions, rich finishes, and an unmatched Sutton Place location, Roehm’s duplex is a rare opportunity to own a slice of Manhattan’s historic elegance—a residence as enduring as its celebrated owner.
