Property Description for 150 East 49th Street, 8-D

Huge one bed + home office and W/D in the heart of Manhattan!

Bathed in sunlight all day, your thoughtfully RENOVATED home offers open southern exposures and uninterrupted skyline views from every room. A 20-foot-long entry hall welcomes you with a sense of scale and sophistication, leading seamlessly into a beautifully proportioned living space that balances pre-war charm with contemporary design.

The kitchen and bathroom have been completely gut-renovated with both aesthetics and functionality in mind. Storage is abundant, and the finishes throughout are best-in-class: a Bertazzoni gas range, concealed XO hood, Blomberg refrigerator and dishwasher, and a Viking 36-bottle wine fridge. An in-unit Electrolux washer/dryer completes the list of modern essentials.

Throughout the apartment, original pre-war details have been carefully preserved and enhanced-9.5-foot beamed ceilings, custom moldings designed to display artwork, French doors, and gallery lighting by Michael Anastassiades and Roll & Hill add warmth and character. The living room is generously sized and ideal for entertaining, while the king-sized bedroom is as peaceful as it is elegant. From every room, night views of the Chrysler Building offer a quiet reminder that you're living in the heart of Manhattan.

The layout includes excellent closet space and a separate, private storage unit in the building. The gallery-style entryway offers long sight lines and sunlight from the moment you walk through the front door, creating a rare sense of openness and calm.

150 East 49th Street is a well-maintained, boutique pre-war co-op with an elevator, a live-in superintendent, and a weekend attendant on duty daily from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Building amenities include a newly renovated central laundry room, bike storage, resident storage, and a beautifully planted 100-foot common courtyard with picnic tables-an unexpected oasis in the city. The building is Verizon FIOS-ready and recently converted to modern gas heating.

Pets are welcome!

Located in the charming Midtown enclave of Turtle Bay, you're just blocks from Grand Central and multiple subway lines (6, E, F, M), with easy access to top dining destinations like La Pecora Bianca and the soon-to-open Urbanspace food hall. The neighborhood maintains a residential feel while offering immediate proximity to business, culture, and everything New York has to offer.

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.
