Property Description for 337 East 50th Street, 1-B

RARE TOWNHOUSE-LIKE DUPLEX GARDEN OASIS WITH SECRET DOORWAY! This two bedroom, one and a half bathroom duplex home features a private patio and garden. Nestled on a charming tree-lined block in Turtle Bay adorned with beautiful brownstones, this special home is pin-drop quiet and a private retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. Wake up to birds chirping and natural light pouring into each north facing room through over-sized windows. In the entry foyer, a secret bookshelf doorway leads you to two generously sized and sunbathed bedrooms, each overlooking the garden. This wing boasts two spacious custom closets and a full bathroom featuring glass tile, a separate stall shower and bathtub, and recessed lighting.

Descend the foyer down a full staircase to a spacious living room and open kitchen that flow seamlessly to the garden. The kitchen features cherry cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, an LG dishwasher, a Frigidaire dual refrigerator, granite counter-tops, and a breakfast bar with ample storage. Off of the kitchen is a full-sized Maytag washer/dryer and separate powder room. An oversized storage closet is smartly tucked away under the staircase, adding to the ample storage space throughout. Retreat through the sliding glass door to the multi-level private garden, featuring a beautiful flagstone patio perfect for entertaining guests and a garden to cultivate your green thumb!

Share the atmosphere of the neighborhood with the iconic United Nations, Chrysler Building, Waldorf-Astoria and the W Hotel. Surrounded by great restaurants and transportation, it is an easy commute to midtown's business district, and just south of the Upper East Side's world-class shopping. This convenient neighborhood enclave also has easy access to the East River Greenway - perfect for a waterfront stroll or bicycle ride. You won't find anything else like this on the market! NO PETS.

Turtle Bay | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Turtle Bay is best known for hosting the world’s dignitaries at United Nations once a year as the world institution sits on the eastern edge of the neighborhood along the East River.

But this midtown location offers a lot more, a bustling neighborhood teeming with high-rise apartment buildings and an easy walk to the Midtown business district.

Over the past two decades, developers have assembled almost every corner development site along Second Avenue and have built straight up. Not much left to assemble.

Some of the more glamorous, and of course most expensive, addresses are in close proximity to the United Nations. Trump World Tower, which caused a big stir with area residents, in particular, Walter Cronkite, when it was built sits just north of the United Nations Grounds. 

In contrast to the proliferation of the residential highrise, Turtle Bay does have some lovely tree-lined streets between the avenues. In particular, Turtle Bay Gardens, which fronts both 48th Street and 49th Street between Third and Second Avenue has always been a haven for the rich and famous.
