Property Description for 138 East 50th Street, 53-A

Unmatched Two-Bedroom Opportunity with Spectacular Views + Private Valet Parking Included.

This is the best-priced two-bedroom condo offering in its class - perched on the 53rd floor with postcard-worthy views stretching north, west, and south through dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows. This expansive 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom residence pairs timeless elegance with modern luxury.

Coveted onsite valet parking space included in the sale (limited spaces are available in the building and sell for $399,000).

Step into an airy, open-concept living and dining space featuring wide-plank white oak flooring and a custom chef's kitchen with honed Capri marble countertops, matching backsplash, and a waterfall island with seating. Sleek white oak cabinetry conceals a full suite of Gaggenau appliances, including a wine fridge, all accented by Dornbracht fixtures for a clean, refined look. The primary suite is a true retreat with a generous walk-in closet and a spa-caliber five-piece bathroom. Enjoy radiant heated Bianco Dolomiti floors, a glass-enclosed shower, separate Kohler soaking tub, and a custom vanity clad in Marno Illusion marble and rift-cut white oak millwork, topped off with Dornbracht and Kallista fixtures. The powder room makes a dramatic statement with Nero Maquina marble floors and vanity, contrasted with ebony-stained oak and a Cobalt Flash marble wet wall - all complemented by premium fixtures. Additional highlights include a Nest Learning Thermostat and in-unit Bosch washer/dryer. This home has been lightly lived in as a pied- -terre and can be delivered fully furnished for an additional $200,000.

At The Centrale, world-class amenities are elevated by bespoke finishes, custom art, and curated materials.

A state-of-the-art fitness center overlooks a 75-foot lap pool, with an adjoining yoga room for added tranquility. Rising 71 stories above Midtown Manhattan, The Centrale is a stunning addition to the skyline. Its elegant fa ade - designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli - blends Art Deco influences with contemporary style.

Set in the heart of Midtown, The Centrale is unassumingly convenient, placing you just minutes from the very best of New York City including the the amazing selection of restaurants at the newly opened Waldorf Astoria.

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.
