Property Description for 209 East 56th Street, 5-D

*Opening photo is a virtual rendering that portrays the potential of this home with updated flooring and furnishings.* A perfect layout and sunny Southern exposure await in this quiet and generously proportioned home. Upon entering the apartment one is immediately impressed by the recently renovated, open chef's kitchen with stainless appliances and a quartzite-covered island that seamlessly flows into the oversized living and dining areas. The quiet, king-sized bedroom with a walk-in closet provides a tranquil retreat. The renovated & crisp-white bathroom is privately positioned off the bedroom hall. There is no shortage of storage with four large closets found throughout the home. Custom built-ins beneath the large windows offer additional storage and conceal air conditioners and heating. The Sterling is a well-managed cooperative featuring a friendly staff, 24-hour doorman, live-in super, 2 elevators, a common roof deck and laundry room. The building hallways were recently updated and pied-à-terres, co-purchasers, guarantors, pets and subletting are all considered by the board.

Nearby shopping options include Bloomingdales, Whole Foods, Bed Bath and Beyond, Home Depot and more.

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.
