The living room offers a unique 270-degree view of the city and is adorned with oversized black 6 frame paneled windows and dramatically complimented by the nearly 11-ft ceilings. The chef’s kitchen features an oversized island that is seamlessly fused into the space, sleek Gaggenau 4-Series appliances, Espekio Blanco glass countertops and backsplash, custom cabinetry by Gold & Reiss as well as an additional built-in panty. The three bedrooms are discreetly located off the entry hallway and are all equipped with electric Lutron blackout shades. The primary bedroom can accommodate a king sized bed and features two large, keypad locked, walk-in closets as well as a lavish en-suite master bathroom with Calacatta marble and herringbone marble floors, a dual vanity, deep soaking marble tub and a large separate shower. The two additional bedrooms are located on the Eastern side of the apartment and separated by a gorgeous windowed bathroom complete with a soaking tub and sweeping city city views. The additional powder room, off the foyer entry, has striking Nero Marquina wainscoting and Bardiglio marble floors and is adjacent to the Bosch stackable washer/dryer. The unit also features Nest temperature controlled central air throughout.

The building is also one of the few that has a 421A tax abatement that lasts till 2032.

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.
