From the moment you step inside, the experience is nothing short of extraordinary. The foyer, wrapped in rich Choco Teak wood, sets the stage for what's to come-an expansive 35-foot corner great room where walls of glass frame sweeping skyline views. The brilliance of this space is its adaptability: a custom folding wall allows the third bedroom to transform into an extension of the living and entertaining area, giving you the ultimate flexibility. Two covered private balconies offer year-round enjoyment, perfect for morning coffee with the city at your feet or a glass of wine as the skyline comes alive at night.
At the heart of the home, the open-concept chef''s kitchen is a masterpiece in itself. Sleek white lacquer cabinetry, top-tier Miele and Sub-Zero appliances, an induction cooktop with downdraft exhaust, a convection oven, and even a built-in coffee station create a space that is as stunning as it is functional.
The primary suite is a private retreat, boasting its own balcony with commanding south and west views. Motorized shades, custom closets, and an indulgent spa-style en-suite bathroom with a windowed steam room, oversized rain shower, and sophisticated design elements elevate this suite to the highest level of luxury. The additional bedrooms, each with en-suite baths, provide equally impressive comfort and style, while a chic guest powder room just off the entry adds convenience. The apartment has an additional room that has a pullout bed and full bathroom.
Every detail of this home has been carefully curated-a sleek alcohol-fueled fireplace, a wine bar with refrigerated storage, integrated A/V systems, custom lighting, and handcrafted millwork in teak and lacquer. Solid Brazilian Cherry wood floors stretch throughout, while clever hidden storage solutions maintain the home's seamless aesthetic. A full-size washer and dryer complete the picture of effortless city living.

Just moments from the United Nations and overlooking Dag Hammarskjold Plaza Park, this is Midtown luxury at its absolute finest.
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.
