Sweet and spacious, apartment 4E is the perfect place to call home. Brand new hardwood floors accentuate the expansive living and sleeping areas. The space offers excellent layout options, and a wall of south-facing windows lets the sun shine in. A separate, galley kitchen has been outfitted with granite countertops, mosaic glass and stone backsplash, and full-size appliances. The bathroom is in excellent condition. Storage is fantastic with three generous closets. This is a must-see.
Located on a lovely, tree-lined block in Midtown East (Turtle Bay), the building offers a part-time doorman, a fantastic roof deck with views galore, laundry, live-in super, and wiring for Time Warner and Verizon Fios. The neighborhood amenities are endless with easy access to Grand Central, crosstown buses and subways (4/5/6/7/E/M), the United Nations, supermarkets including the gourmet Amish Market, many fantastic restaurants and shops, nightlife, various private parks, gyms and close proximity to the running/bike path along the FDR. Pet friendly.
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.
