Property Description for 255 East 49th Street, PH-A

Penthouse Living with a Private Rooftop Terrace!

Welcome home to your extraordinary 4 bed, 3 bath Duplex Penthouse perched high in the Manhattan sky, with access to your very own private rooftop terrace and breathtaking views of the East River. The nearly 3,600 square foot trophy home opens up to an immaculate great room, with honed black granite wood burning fireplace, imported Russian wide plank oak floors, and flowing seamlessly into the glass enclosed dining room featuring stunning city and river views. The adjacent wet bar features a light-up onyx stone surface and professionally-installed sound system. The impressive great room is the perfect space for entertaining.

The chef's kitchen is a gorgeous 33 ft. long Italian Boffi kitchen, featuring seamless white Corian countertops, a sprawling eat-in island, and floor to ceiling windows which showcase stunning views to the North and West. The Gaggenau and Miele appliances feature a 70-bottle wine refrigerator, two dishwashers, two ovens, refrigerator with separate freezer drawers, gas cooktop, and two integrated sinks.

The primary suite is an intimately private retreat, with bountiful closet space, incredible Western views, and a truly marble spa-like bathroom. The primary bath has Boffi high end Winged Collection fixtures, walk-in steam shower for two, free standing tub, double marble vanities with floating oval medicine cabinets, separate water closet, and heated floors.

The Guggenheim-inspired staircase leads down to the 32nd floor which contains two additional bedrooms - one boasting a private East facing balcony, washer and dryer, and the adjacent white marble bathroom with Jacuzzi bathtub, separate shower stall, and of course a radiant heated floor. Your luxury is made complete with your very own personal and private Swedish Sauna. The 32nd floor has an additional guest entrance for privacy.

Atop the well-lit staircase, is the crown jewel of your trophy penthouse: The one-of-kind, approx. 1,620 sq.ft., private roof deck terrace! This standout feature showcases 360 degree views of Manhattan and beyond, including views of the Chrysler, Empire State Building, the East River, and more. The rooftop also has an enclosed, approx. 120 sq.ft. pantry/bar space with a refrigerator, wine cooler, and microwave.

Sterling Plaza is a prestigious, full-service condominium with 24 hour doorman and concierge. The building is only blocks away from Fifth Avenue shopping, the Theater District, Central Park, the United Nations, and some of the finest restaurants and bars the city has to offer, being located in the Heart of Manhattan. Please note some photos have been virtually staged.

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.
