314 East 50th Street, 1-E

This private residence on the second floor has two generous bedrooms and two full baths reads not as a simple apartment, but as a boutique mews that rises with quiet intention. You enter at the living level, where an open kitchen looks out across the sitting room, inviting conversation. Stainless steel appliances and generous cabinetry lend polish and practicality, while northern light filters in with a steady, flattering glow. A working fireplace anchors the space with warmth and character, and custom covered through the wall air conditioning keeps the seasons comfortably at bay.

A proper staircase carries you to two expansive bedroom suites, each occupying its own level and each served by a full bath. As presently arranged, both are configured as en suite retreats, though either could just as effortlessly become the kind of private home office that modern life now demands. Open concept closets add a tailored ease to both floors, and the layout offers a rare elasticity. Two full baths serve the lower levels, a powder room sits on the living floor, and a washer and dryer are conveniently positioned just outside the door. With three independent entrances to the residence, the possibilities feel less prescribed and more personal, shaped by the rhythms of the owner who calls it home.

Set within 314 East 50th Street in the heart of Turtle Bay, the building is quietly well kept and ideally placed just off Second Avenue. La Pecora Bianca and The Smith are moments away, joined by a constellation of cafes, neighborhood bars, and restaurants that make daily life feel effortlessly curated. Pied a terre ownership and live work use are permitted subject to board approval. Pets, however, are not allowed.
