Property Description for 327 East 51st Street

Graciously located on one of the area's most beautiful and charming blocks, 327 East 51st Street's maintained facade, gated courtyard and traditional stooped entry provides a classical New York City feel. Completely rebuilt and expanded in 2006, injecting a functional and modern elegance, while maintaining the 1890s' provenance of the building. During the gut renovation, mechanical, plumbing, lighting and electrical systems were updated. The functional details of the home have been thoroughly considered to include new Crestron home audio system, four-zone HVAC system, four automatic gas fireplaces, state of the art security system and abundance of storage space. The garden level, with a private entrance, features a large living room, state of the art, modern and spacious Smallbone chef's kitchen with top of the line appliances and an informal dining room that opens to the garden. The garden level provides access to the basement featuring cedar lined wine storage and fully equipped, state of the art exercise room. The parlor level is absolutely perfect for entertaining, with 60 ft. of open living space. The living room features a gas fireplace and high ceilings which leads to the dining room with a dumb waiter and a private staircase to the kitchen. Towards the rear of the house is the Library, with an additional gas fireplace. On the second level, the graciously appointed master suite boasts a large dressing room, spa worthy master bath and grand bedroom with three Juliet balconies and a gas fireplace. The master suite faces north allowing light to pour through the three sets of French doors. A second bedroom/master suite office is located down the hall toward the front of the home. The three skylights on the third floor allow for light to pour into the center media room. On either side of the media room are the third and fourth bedroom, two full baths, and a large laundry room. 327 East 51st Street is a truly enchanting home that must be seen.

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.
