Versailles on 57th Street? This Sutton Place duplex comes close.
With 18-foot ceilings, marble fireplaces, and a 27-foot-square living room that feels straight out of a palace, this home has all the grandeur of Old World Europe — in prime Manhattan.
Owned by author and fashion designer Carolyne Roehm, the duplex takes up the 12th and 13th floors of a historic 1929 limestone building. It’s a space that merges the drama of a great hall with the intimacy of a private retreat.
Now listed for $5,495,000 with Charles Holmes and Evita LaSasso of Coldwell Banker Warburg, the three-bedroom residence is a rare slice of Upper East Side history with interiors that could easily double as a film set.
A palatial two-story duplex at 322 E 57th St
The duplex spans two full floors with private elevator access, offering three bedrooms and three bathrooms across its 12th and 13th stories.
Standout features include a 27-foot-square living room, a circular dining room, three marble fireplaces, and a paneled den with a fireplace and pocket doors. The apartment also comes with storage, an in-unit laundry room, and access to all the amenities of 322 East 57th Street, a pet-friendly co-op.
Anchored by a 27-foot living room with soaring ceilings
The heart of the home is a show-stopping 27’ x 27’ living room with soaring 18-foot ceilings. Two massive 12-foot casement windows pour light into the space, while crown molding and stately columns add symmetry and gravitas.
The scale of the room rivals a library or great hall, making it one of the most dramatic entertaining spaces currently on the market.
Circular dining room and an elegant limestone staircase
Just off the living room, a circular dining room offers an elegant setting for dinner parties. Fabric-paneled walls, dome lighting, and discreet access to a hidden butler’s pantry and windowed kitchen make the space equal parts refined and practical.
The private quarters showcase subdued maximalism
A limestone staircase — or the private elevator — leads to the 13th floor, where the bedrooms are located. The primary suite spans the southern wing, with generous closet space and an en suite bath that features both a soaking tub and a steam shower.
Another bedroom has its own en suite bath, while the paneled den, complete with a fireplace, can flex as a media room or library.
Home office and fireplaces
Also upstairs is a wood-paneled office with its own small bathroom, ideal for working from home without sacrificing privacy. Throughout the duplex, three marble fireplaces — each with a gas line to a coal brazier — anchor the interiors with old-world detail while providing modern convenience.
Set inside a historic 1929 building
The apartment is housed in 322 East 57th Street, a neo-classical limestone building designed by architect Harry M. Clauson of Caughey & Evans.
Built in 1929, the co-op welcomes pets and pieds-à-terre, allows up to 50% financing, and requires a 3% flip tax paid by the buyer. With storage on site and a prime Sutton Place location near the East River and Midtown, it’s as functional as it is grand.
