Property Description for 240 East 47th Street, 37-A

Perched on the 37th Floor of a white-glove, full-service, Condominium Tower is an extraordinary jewel in the sky with 3 bedrooms, staff room, 4 full baths plus a guest powder room. This is a masterfully designed, ultra-modern minimalist home with exquisite finishes, great space, iconic views, abundant light, and 2 large private balconies. This is a prized property located in the world renowned, Dag Hammarskjold Tower, a prestigious Brutalist landmark building in Manhattan's Midtown-East. This intelligently designed home was gut renovated with no expense spared employing the absolute best finishes and fixtures available. Enter the apartment through a foyer surrounded in solid Choco Teak Wood which leads to an expansive 35' corner great room with north, south and west exposures, perfectly scaled for entertaining. This room further expands by means of a custom architectural folding wall, which when open, completely disappears and annexes the space of the third bedroom to enlarge the living space for grand scale entertaining. The open centerpiece kitchen with custom white lacquer cabinetry is outfitted with materials, appliances and craftsmanship you'd expect only in the finest residences with top brands like Miele and Subzero and includes an induction cook top with down draft exhaust, convection wall oven, and a coffee station. The chamber wing of this home includes an oversized Master Suite with a private balcony offering south and west exposures and skyline views. Motorized shades, large custom outfitted closets and a dramatic en-suite windowed spa style bathroom with the latest in design elements including an over-sized steam room with rain shower are some of the details of the master suite. The two additional bedrooms and the staff room are also en-suite and there is also a guest powder room just off the entry foyer. Other exquisite features of this home include a wine bar with refrigerated wine storage, custom lighting, unique cabinetry, and quarter-sawn solid Brazilian Cherry wood floors throughout. All trim is custom milled in Teak and the lacquer paneled walls reveal abundant storage and include a built-in Audio/Video system. Windows throughout are outfitted with motorized shades and there is a full-size washer/dryer to complete this picture. Dag Hammarskjold Tower Condominium is a full service, pet friendly building with an indoor rooftop heated pool, fitness center including steam and sauna, children's playroom, catering/event room, garage, private storage, and a bike room. Situated just a few blocks from the United Nations and across the street from Dag Hammarskjold Plaza Park with its famous year-round Farmer's market; this perfectly scaled and positioned property is the epitome of Manhattan luxury living.

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.
