Thoughtfully redesigned, this studio blends functionality with style. The windowed kitchen overlooks a quiet, leafy garden and features sleek, full-size stainless steel appliances-including a dishwasher and a high-end convection/microwave oven that bakes, broils, and grills. The spa-like bathroom was also recently upgraded, offering a calming retreat from city life.
The living space is outfitted with stunning Brazilian wood floors, elegant crown molding, new six-panel doors, and skim-coated walls and ceilings for a polished, modern look. Two oversized closets with custom organizational systems, plus a linen closet, provide exceptional storage. Designer details throughout create a sense of warmth and individuality.
Enjoy working from home in a peaceful setting-or take advantage of easy access to crosstown and Second Avenue buses just outside your door. The E, M, and 6 subway lines are only a short stroll away.
Additional building amenities include a planted and furnished roof deck-perfect for summer dining, sunbathing, or hosting friends under the stars-as well as a bike room, personal storage, and even an industrial shredder in the basement.
This turnkey home is perfect as a first NYC apartment or a stylish pied- -terre. Furniture may be included for a truly move-in-ready experience.
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.
