Property Description for 209 East 56th Street, 4-CD

Residence 4CD is a spacious 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with an open layout that is ideal for entertaining. The space flows seamlessly from the entry to the kitchen, living room and formal dining room and separates the private primary suite.

The large foyer invites you to the home before opening to the large L shaped kitchen. Blonde wood cabinets with under cabinet lighting adorn the walls and frame the stainless steel appliances by Miele, GE and SubZero. A center island provides additional prep space and seating. Moving to the gracious living room, a wall of oversized windows beckons in Southwestern light. The space also features a large walk-in closet for excellent storage.

The formal dining room is large enough for a table and buffet making this space ideal for daily use or intimate dinner parties. An office is located next to the dining room and showcases a wall of built-in cabinetry.

On the opposite side of the home, you will find the primary suite which will provide you an oasis from the hustle and bustle of city life. Oversized Northeastern facing windows give the advantage of morning light and a large closet provides ample storage. The en-suite bathroom offers a large vanity and glass enclosed shower as well as a full sized linen closet. An additional bathroom can be found off the foyer which features a soaking tub, pedestal sink, and classic penny tile. A washer and dryer is also located off of the foyer. This home's charm is made complete by the crown molding throughout which reflects the elegance of the neighborhood.

209 East 56th Street is a 13 story, post war co-op where residents enjoy the convenience of a full time doorman, additional laundry room, and furnished roof deck. The building is pet friendly and allows pied a terres, subletting, and gifting with board approval. Sutton Place is known as a quiet residential enclave that has boasted many famous residents throughout its history. Today, you will enjoy an abundance of iconic dining options and high fashion shopping favorites along Lexington Avenue and West toward 5th Avenue. Residents also enjoy the parks along the East River waterfront and easy access to the rest of the city via the E and M trains at 53rd Street.

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.
