Property Description for 230 East 50th Street, 3-B

Stunningly Renovated 2-Bedroom with Pre-War Charm in Full-Service Art Deco Co-op Welcome to 230 East 50th Street, a beautifully and exquisitely renovated, move-in ready 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence nestled on one of Turtle Bay’s most picturesque tree-lined blocks. Located in Colton Hall, a boutique full-service Art Deco co-op, this elegant home combines timeless pre-war charm with modern upgrades for effortless city living. Step through the building’s serene, landscaped lobby and head up via one of two elevator banks to your semi-private landing. Inside this museum-like home, a gracious entry foyer sets the tone for the thoughtfully and elegantly designed interior. This turn-key home features refinished original hardwood floors, custom millwork, arched doorways, and seven custom closets—showcasing a meticulous renovation that respects the building’s rich history. The expansive living room is flooded with natural light from oversized, restored casement windows and anchored by a meticulously detailed, hand-painted, wood-burning fireplace, surrounded with bookshelves, perfect for cozy evenings by the fire with a good book. The chef’s kitchen is a culinary dream with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and top-of-the-line appliances including a Wolf cooktop, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Bosch dishwasher. The Jack and Jill full bath has been beautifully updated in a stylish Deco aesthetic. A sleek half bath, for guests, just off the kitchen area makes hosting and entertaining a breeze. Both king-sized bedrooms offer abundant light and tranquil south-facing views over the building’s beautifully manicured, private garden, providing a peaceful retreat from the city’s hustle and bustle. Detailed beamed ceilings and bright north and south exposures add to the appeal of this home oasis. Building amenities include: 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, landscaped rooftop deck, private garden for residents, laundry room, large storage cage (included), and pet-friendly. Impeccably maintained, Colton Hall is ideally situated near the 6, E, and M trains, crosstown buses, and just minutes from Grand Central, Central Park, Sutton Place, and the United Nations. With top-tier shopping, dining, and cultural destinations at your doorstep, this is Manhattan living at its finest. Flip tax: 2.5% payable by the seller. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a refined, character-rich residence in one of Manhattan’s most sought-after neighborhoods.

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.
