Property Description for 865 First Ave, 9-B

Let the light flood in as you look out over the picturesque East River views while relaxing in this triple mint, renovated alcove studio apartment in a fantastic, pre-war condominium. The apartment is owned by an interior designer whose impeccable influences are seen throughout. The 559sf space was carefully configured to provide the privacy of a sleeping area and tons of space for everything else. Walking into the gracious foyer there is a beautiful, custom, built-in two-person desk with floating shelves above. The kitchen and bathroom are in pristine, immaculate condition. With granite countertops and high-end stainless steel appliances (including Sub-Zero fridge), the kitchen is wonderfully efficient with generous cabinets and counter space. The windowed bathroom is tiled in Carrera marble and features an extra deep soaking tub. The huge living room faces east looking out of two, 4 foot wide windows that are not blocked by an A/C unit because it has already been installed through the wall! Stunning, refurbished original oak floors have been gorgeously ebonized throughout. Off the kitchen is a separate sleeping alcove, which is big enough to fit a queen-size bed and can be closed off with glass sliders. Clutter is kept at bay with two oversized, walk-in closets that have been perfectly customized. 865 United Nations Plaza is a full-service, pre-war condominium. 24 Hour doorman, live in super, and laundry in the basement. This apartment is perfect for investors, pied-a-terres, and primary residents. It is possible to have it all!

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.
