Property Description for 138 East 50th Street, 29-B

This elegant one-bedroom, one-bathroom residence, designed by Champalimaud, showcases sweeping northeast views of the Manhattan skyline through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows. White oak flooring extends from the entry foyer into a spacious open-concept living and dining area, anchored by a chef's kitchen featuring honed Capri marble countertops, backsplash, and a waterfall island with seating. The kitchen's refined aesthetic is defined by streamlined custom white oak cabinetry that seamlessly conceals a full Gaggenau appliance suite-including an undercounter wine refrigerator-and is complemented by Dornbracht fixtures.

The tranquil, marble-clad primary bathroom is a retreat in itself, featuring Bianco Dolomiti radiant-heated floors, Marno Illusion stone-tiled walls, and a custom vanity in white oak rift-cut veneer with matching Marno Illusion countertops. Additional details include a built-in medicine cabinet, Kallista sink, and Dornbracht fixtures. Completing this sophisticated home are a Nest Learning Thermostat and an in-unit Bosch washer and dryer.

The Centrale's amenities are imbued with artistry and warmth-handcrafted artworks, distinctive marbles, natural stones, and dramatic lighting create an inviting, ethereal atmosphere. Residents arrive through a private 24-hour attended lobby or a sheltered porte-cochère. The amenity suite includes a formal Great Room, Private Dining Room with catering kitchen, Club Room, and an all-season Club Terrace ideal for entertaining. A state-of-the-art fitness center overlooks the 75-foot lap pool, and a serene yoga room provides a peaceful retreat.

Rising 71 stories, The Centrale stands proudly among Midtown Manhattan's architectural icons. Designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects with interiors by Champalimaud Design, the tower reinterprets classic Art Deco elegance through a modern lens. Its softly reflective glass facade, accented by terracotta chevrons and crystalline angles, reveals a graceful composition from base to crown-capturing the rhythm and light of the surrounding Midtown landscape.

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.
