Property Description for 138 East 50th Street, TR-63

Prepare to be Wowed.

If you want 360-degree unobstructed cinematic views of Manhattan and beyond then TR63 is for you. Enter onto your own private landing, elevating the level of privacy and exclusivity that leads into this 2,777 SF well-proportioned 4-bedroom home.

As one enters the great room, you are drawn in by the spectacular views and unparalleled light coming from the floor to ceiling windows facing West and North. The expansive great room with 10 ft. ceilings is well balanced between windows and walls to display art and is an ideal space for entertaining as well as everyday living. The spectacular windows from every room in this home provide constant natural light with skyline views and a sense of excitement and serenity.

The modern double windowed chef's kitchen has large floor to ceiling South windows facing such iconic landmarks as The Chrysler Building and The Freedom Tower as well as a wall of West facing windows. The location of the kitchen is close to the entertaining space but away from your guests and for those who prefer an open plan, the kitchen can be modified and opened to the entertaining space. The custom designed kitchen which is very spacious features an extra-large counter island made of Capri marble that seats 5 and custom white oak millwork with generously sized top of the line Gaggenau appliances including full size freezer, full size wine refrigerator, under the counter wine refrigerator and two dishwashers. There are plenty of cabinets and countertops to guarantee a great cooking and entertaining experience.

On the opposite side of the Great room are the private quarters. The private cornered primary bedroom with 10 ft floor to ceiling windows facing East and North creates a beautiful and serene retreat. The primary bedroom also has an extra-large WIC. The five-fixture primary bath offers Bianco Dolomiti radiant heated flooring underfoot, an enclosed shower, and a Victoria + Albert free-standing tub. A custom double vanity with white oak, rift-cut wood veneer millwork, and Marno Illusion countertops is completed with a built-in medicine cabinet, Kallista Sink and Dornbracht Fixtures. The two additional well sized ensuite bedrooms feature floor to ceiling windows with open views to the east, south, or north. An additional fourth bedroom can also function as an office, library, or TV room boasts stunning open views to the North and views of Central Park and beyond.

A Nest Learning Thermostat and laundry room with Bosch washer and dryer complete this elegant residence. The Centrale offers the luxury and convenience of a private Porte cochere and parking for purchase. The amenities are personalized with handmade artwork, distinctive marbles, natural stones, and dramatic light fixtures that come together to create an ethereal, intimate feel. The formal Great Room, Private Dining Room with Catering Kitchen, the Club Room, and an all-season Club Terrace are perfect for entertaining in any style. A state-of-the-art fitness center overlooks a 75" lap pool, while the yoga room offers a serene respite.

At 71 stories, The Centrale takes its place alongside Midtown Manhattan's most iconic buildings, encompassing a collection of 124 classic yet undeniably modern residences, envisioned by Champalimaud Design. The Centrale's exterior design by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, builds upon classic Art Deco architecture with contemporary elements thoughtfully displayed throughout, including the lightly reflective glass fa ade articulated with facets of terracotta chevrons. The Centrale reveals its base, body, and crown from street to the sky with crystalline switchbacks, creating a dynamic rhythm of angled reflections 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.
