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

Duplex Stunner with Private Outdoor Space Has It All A magical garden, dedicated home office, large living/dining room, duplex living and tons of storage in a prime Midtown East location make Unit 1C at 337 East 50th a showstopper apartment. This 1 bedroom, 1 ½ bathrooms pied-a-terre friendly coop home has everything you could want right at your fingertips. As you enter unit 1C, you are greeted by a large, open foyer with three closets - the first so spacious that two bikes can be stored along with many coats and other household items. On this level you will also find the airy and oversized bedroom with room for a king sized bed! The room is accented with beautiful and functional built-in shelving and drawers as well as a dedicated home office space that overlooks the private lush garden. The lovely black and white full bathroom with beautiful wainscoting completes this floor. Head downstairs to the huge living and dining room. Unit 1C is not only a well-proportioned home that is pin-drop quiet, it is also large enough to host wonderful parties and dinners. The current owner has had sit-down dinners for up to 20 people and private parties with over 40 guests. The kitchen is perfectly laid out for optimum flow, featuring granite countertops, garbage disposal, under counter lighting and has a stainless steel appliance package including a 5 burner gas stove/oven, built-in microwave, refrigerator and dishwasher. The room is accented with a fun and whimsical chalkboard wall and comes with a massive pantry that is bigger than some NYC bedrooms! Right off the kitchen is a Spanish themed half bath that is charming and inviting for your guests - especially those friends and family who spend the night. And then there is the gorgeous garden - which makes you feel like you stepped into a live version of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. It is magical - any time of the day and in any season. Rarely do you see a home with a garden this special come to market. The massive space is divided into two sections. The lower section is perfect for dining with ample space for table seating of 14 or more. Three steps up takes you to the garden’s lounge - filled with benches, chairs and a wonderful view of the garden’s architectural features including exposed brick, charming lighting and greenery. It is the perfect place to have your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine with someone special. Unit 1C comes with central AC and heat (and forced air heat from the building), newly installed dimmer lighting throughout, Sonos sound system as well as walnut and oak hardwood floors. The duplex layout gives you privacy on each floor so you can have as many Zoom meetings as you want while not disturbing anyone else. 337 East 50th Street is a well maintained elevator building that has 26 units total and a dedicated laundry room. Pied-a-terres are allowed for those making unit 1C their part time home - but sorry, no pets please. Located on a charming tree-lined block in the Turtle Bay/Midtown East neighborhood, the area has all you need—quick access to top rated restaurants, grocery stores, cafes and Sutton Place Park for a stroll along the East River. Also features close proximity to Grand Central, Metro North Railroad and the business hub of Midtown. It is vibrant and bustling, with all the best of Manhattan living literally out your front door but still quaint and quiet, especially on weekends. Easy access to public transportation including the E, M, 4, 5, 6, 7, and S subway lines that are all nearby as well as convenient access to the 59th Street Bridge, Midtown Tunnel and FDR when leaving Manhattan. Private viewings for qualified buyers. Building requires 48 hour notice for all showings.

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.
