Property Description for 220 East 54th Street, 4C/5C

Your search for a true three bedroom, three bathroom plus home office in a full-service Midtown East living experience complete with a furnished dazzling roof deck and onsite parking stops here. This pin-drop quiet duplex has been combined and renovated in a seamless fashion to provide versatility and convenience. Prepare to experience a home in the true sense of the word exemplified by the chic suburban-style rounded staircase with optionality to enjoy elevator access to either floor.

The south-facing living area on the lower level bursts with optionality allowing for a comfortable seating area and separate dining area with easy access via sophisticated sliding pocket doors to the adjacent third bedroom which can function as a den, massive home office, guest room, true third bedroom or formal dining room. If you prefer more privacy, close the pocket doors as there is a second natural entrance to this bedroom via the opposite hallway. The updated galley kitchen is outfitted with great cabinet storage and countertop space for meal preparations while the updated third full bathroom with bathtub downstairs serves the third bedroom and guests.

The upper level features your large primary suite that can accommodate a king size bed, a sprawling walk-in closet and masterfully renovated white ensuite tiled bathroom. The generously-sized second bedroom accommodates a queen size bed and has quick access to the renovated third bathroom with stylish blue tile shower stall with glass door. Last and certainly not least, the upper level landing area leads to a sizeable bonus area that can be used as a home office, play area or recreation space. Additional highlights of this home are the eleven total closets, including the uniquely large/deep closet underneath the staircase, wide hardwood floors throughout and washer/dryer installed on the upper level.

The Leslie House provides an ideally situated luxury lifestyle centrally located in Midtown East with a full-time doorman and concierge, live-in resident manager, furnished roof deck with spectacular views, garage, common laundry room, private storage (subject to availability) and bike storage (subject to availability). The best of Midtown is at your fingertips with world class restaurants and local eateries, convenient shopping including Whole Foods nearby, Equinox and Blink on the same block and great public transportation options in the 6, E, M, East 57th Street cross town buses and the 59th Street Bridge.

Flexible subletting policy allows for subleasing for after two years of ownership for up to five years. Pets allowed up to 25 lbs., subject to board approval (one dog and two cats per apartment).

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.
