Property Description for 255 East 49th Street, 14-D

Introducing a Douglas Elliman Exclusive by The Vanderploeg Team:

Only 3 Bedroom Condo under $2 Million in Midtown East!

Skyline Drama, Sunlight, and Space-Three-Bedroom Condo with Wraparound Terrace at The Sterling Plaza

Welcome to Residence 14D, one of the building's rare three-bedroom wrapped in glass and bathed in southern and eastern light.

From the moment you enter, the city unfolds before you. A gracious foyer opens to an expansive L-shaped living and dining room where floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping skyline vistas-including the Chrysler Building-and draw you toward a large wraparound balcony. Morning coffee, sunset wine, even your houseplants will thrive here.

The renovated windowed kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring a breakfast bar, Caesarstone counters, custom cabinetry, and top-tier appliances-Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking range, KitchenAid dishwasher-plus a water filtration system.

The thoughtful split-bedroom layout offers privacy and versatility. The first bedroom suite, with its own full bath and built-in shelving, is perfect for guests, a library, or a home office. Down a sunlit hallway, the second bedroom sits opposite a marble full bath, while the oversized primary suite offers room for a California king, generous closets, and a private en-suite bath. Two dedicated workstations make remote work effortless.

With six closets, hardwood floors, electric blinds, and through-wall A/C, every detail supports both comfort and style.

Sterling Plaza is a full-service, pet-friendly condominium with 24-hour doorman, live-in super, bike room, storage, landscaped courtyard, and laundry room. The building is near 6, E, M subway lines, M49 and M15 buses, and the FDR Drive.

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.
