Property Description for 301 East 48th Street, 5-B

PRICE REDUCTION!
Sprawling Convertible 2BR at Marlo Towers – Rarely Available Corner Line!

Welcome to one of the most desirable lines in Marlo Towers—a bright, oversized corner apartment with great bones and even better potential.

Step into a roomy foyer with three closets (two walk-ins!) that opens into a sunken living room flooded with natural light from a wall of windows. Off the living room, head up into a separate space currently used as a dining room—with two windows and plenty of light, it easily transforms into a second bedroom or a den.

The windowed kitchen has space to eat in or can be opened up to create a more modern flow—it’s all up to you. Down the hall, you’ll find a large, windowed bathroom and a king-sized bedroom with two closets, including another generous walk-in.

Both the kitchen and bath are original, but with some love and creativity, they could really shine.

The apartment has open south and east exposures, with river views from both the dining room and kitchen. You can even see the iconic Pepsi sign in Long Island City.

This is more than just an apartment—it’s a home with options. There are six closets (three walk-ins!), freshly refinished solid wood floors, and a layout that offers flexibility for years to come. There is an ongoing monthly assessment of $60.60.

Light-filled, spacious, and full of potential—come see it for yourself.

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.
