Property Description for 145 East 48th Street, 5-C

Rare, extra-large one-bedroom (currently configured as a converted two-bedroom apartment) with excellent light through southern and western exposures. Located in the full-service Cosmopolitan Condominium with on-site parking, the home is located perfectly in central Turtle Bay near Grand Central, the United Nations, and myriad shopping and dining, including the restaurant Avra on the ground floor.

Enter through a foyer that separates the living/dining half of the apartment from the large bedroom and bathroom. Currently bisected to create a second bedroom/home office area, the full length of the living/dining room is 26 feet and can easily be converted back. Or, the current configuration can make for a particularly fruitful investment property to be rented out as a flex two-bedroom.

The windowed kitchen features a pass-through bar and counter, replete with full-size appliances: gas stove, refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher.

Measuring 17 feet long, the bedroom is enormous and can easily fit a king-size bed, plus desk or sitting area. It has a triple-wide, full-height closet. The full bathroom has a tub and large vanity. Two closets sit off of the foyer.

The Cosmopolitan Condominium features a 24-hour doorman, concierge, live-in resident manager, a conference room, and a roof deck with sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline. A rare amenity, the building also has an on-site parking garage.

Located in the heart of it all, the building is surrounded by some of the city's best shopping and dining, including Avra. The building is proximate to Grand Central and the United Nations. It is served by Grand Central Station's 4/5/6, 7, and Shuttle subways, as well as the MetroNorth and LIRR. The building is also served by the 51st Street 6-train and 53rd Street E/F/M subways.

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.
