Property Description for 155 East 49th Street, 11-CD

Nestled amidst the bustling streets of Midtown Manhattan, a one-of-a-kind gem awaits atop 155 East 49th Street. Full of personality, this charming penthouse duplex is unique--from its greenhouse kitchen to its working wood-burning fireplace to its wrap-around terrace that melts the distinction between indoors and the outside--you will not see anything like it. Come inside and the entryway leads you into the main floor that includes a very spacious living/dining room with a working fireplace. In the kitchen you can see the sky thanks to a wall of glass that extends overhead. The primary bedroom, also on this level is spacious and private with a marble-clad on-suite bath. Head down to the lower level and there are two smaller rooms used as bedrooms plus a full bath and a living room area. Easy to reconfigure into a huge primary suite or turn it into two larger bedrooms, this floor offers a host of possibilities. The outdoor terrace is portrait of New York City, flanked by office buildings and a water tower, this space is perfect for entertaining or quiet nights at home. If you love plants you will have tons of room for them too! This 1924 pre-war luxury co-op neighboring the Waldorf Astoria and Rockefeller Center offers style, sophistication and a dream location. This mid rise attended lobby coop consists of 10 floors and 72 apartments. Converted to a co-operative in 1924, this co-op features an attended elevator service, bike room, laundry room, & a common storage room. Showings are by appointment.

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.
