Property Description for 246 East 51st Street, 22

PRICE DROP MAKE AN OFFER! Discover Sunlit Serenity on the Upper East Side! Are you ready to step into a slice of NYC history wrapped in modern chic? Let me introduce you to Residence 22 in Turtle Bay, a sun-soaked delight that checks every box for both charm and functionality. Built in the spirited Art Deco era of 1926, this unit is a playful blend of historic charm and modern convenience, perfect for those who appreciate a bit of character with their comfort. As you cross the threshold, you're greeted by a bright, windowed kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Continue on and you’ll find a windowed bathroom that stays luminous all day, equipped with a sleek, modern shower where you can wash off the city’s hustle and bustle. Let's talk perks – and I don't just mean the built-in gym companion of the walk-up stairs that promise to sculpt your quads (more on that in a moment). This sun-drenched south-facing sanctuary boasts hardwood floors that shine brighter than my forehead at a midsummer design reveal! The living room? Spacious enough for yoga, a dance-off, or both. And the king-sized bedroom offers a quiet retreat overlooking a serene courtyard – because who doesn’t want to feel like royalty in their own home? Nestled in an iconic 1926 Art Deco building, this top-floor unit doesn’t just offer amazing light; it serves up views, vibes, and a daily dose of cardio courtesy of the stairs—who needs a gym membership, right? Just 250 feet from the tranquility of Greenacre Park, with its cascading waterfall and cozy café, you’re buying more than an apartment—you’re securing a piece of paradise. Please note, while this building cherishes tranquility and comfort, a no pets policy is in place, though service companions are always welcome. But that's not all. The building sets you up for success with unlimited subleasing options, gifting, and the ability for parents to purchase for children. Need to do laundry? No sweat! Install your own washer & dryer and say goodbye to laundry day blues or utilize one of the neighborhood laundry services that pick up and drop off. Located near the UN, East River Park, and surrounded by subway access, restaurants, and wellness spots, every convenience is just a stone’s throw away. And for those midnight snack runs, there’s a bodega right on the first floor. Ready to bask in the glow of Residence 22 and elevate your lifestyle? Let’s turn the page to your next chapter in Turtle Bay—where every day feels like a walk in the park. *Primary or Pied-A-Terre *Maintenance includes R.E.Taxes, Heat & Hot Water *Financing up to 75% *All showings by appointment only *some photos 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.
