This impressive, bright, apartment is ideally situated in a well-run, supremely attentive 24 hour doorman building in Turtle Bay. This lovely home has it all: a spacious kitchen with ample cabinetry, granite countertops with adjacent dining area; an oversized living room - perfect for easy living and entertaining with bedroom area; bathroom with dressing area; closets galore and gleaming hardwood floors throughout.
If a super-prime location (near Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, East River walk/bike paths, restaurants and transportation) is a must, and a crisp, clean, fresh, inviting home in a well-served, pet-friendly, building is a priority, then this ready-to-move-right-in residence is a must-see! Sorry, no co-purchasing or gifting allowed. Sublets ok after 2 years ownership for 2 years out of a 5 year period. Pet friendly and garage (waitlist) too. This is East Side Bliss!
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.
