This spacious home is loaded with upgrades: customized closets, a washer/dryer, and an extended kitchen island which creates a large breakfast bar and provides additional storage below. All windows have custom adjustable wood blinds installed as well!
The bedroom contains a queen size bed, two side tables, a desk with office chair, and can accommodate additional storage pieces. It is accessible from the living room through two pocket doors with frosted glass which allows light to pass through while maintaining privacy.
The separate kitchen is complete with Cyprus limestone tile floors, marble countertops, white oak cabinetry, and Bosch and Northland appliances. The bathroom has a mirrored storage vanity and walk-in shower finished with Italian marble and a sleek blue-gray clay tile.
211 East 51st Street is incredibly close to the 6, E & M trains. The building offers a fitness center and beautiful lobby which is attended 24 hours a day. Just outside is Greenacre Park, filled with honey locust trees, flowers, and a 25-foot water feature- a lovely place to relax outside without having to leave your block! Sorry, no short terms are permitted.
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.
