Property Description for 221 East 50th Street, 6-D

Step into this meticulously designed duplex, bathed in abundant sunlight, nestled in the vibrant Midtown East/Turtle Bay neighborhood. The merging of two separate units has resulted in a spacious three-bedroom, three-bathroom haven that optimizes every inch of its layout. As you enter, the whitewash oak flooring beckons you to explore further, revealing a breathtaking southern exposure and panoramic views that effortlessly glide over the neighboring rooftops. Custom lighting adds to the open and airy feel of the expansive great room, while the adjacent windowed kitchen boasts top-of-the-line appliances by Bosch, Bertazzoni, and Fisher & Paykel. At the back of this level, a generously sized bedroom with an impressive walk-in closet stands alongside a pristine full bathroom. Serving as both a striking centerpiece and a seamless connection, the custom staircase unifies the two levels with its blackened steel supports, white oak tread boards, and sleek vertical slats. Upstairs, the luxurious master suite boasts yet another walk-in closet, a spacious windowed master bathroom, and innovative full-height electrolytic glass panels that effortlessly invite natural light into the hallway or provide complete privacy at the flip of a switch. The third bedroom is discreetly situated at the rear of the floor, and the home's third full bathroom conveniently houses an in-unit washer-dryer. Custom closets, recessed lighting, HVAC units discreetly concealed within custom cabinetry, under cabinet lighting, high-end hardware, and bespoke millwork exemplify the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail that has gone into reimagining this exquisite home. Located at 221 East 50th Street, this well-maintained postwar co-op building offers a live-in superintendent, central laundry facilities, bike storage, and a private garden. Situated on the picturesque, tree-lined 50th Street, just moments away from Third Avenue, this delightful residence places you in the heart of one of Manhattan's most desirable and accessible neighborhoods. A plethora of fantastic restaurants and convenient transportation options are at your fingertips, with the 6, E, and M trains within a short three-block radius, and the 4/5, S, and 7 trains at Grand Central Terminal.

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.
