Property Description for 245 East 54th Street, 8-M

Welcome home to this beautiful two-bedroom (convertible three bedroom), two-and-a-half-bath residence in the coveted Sutton Place neighborhood. Rarely available, this stunning and luxurious home spans approximately 1,600 square feet and will satisfy even the most discerning buyer.

Beautifully laid out, the residence offers exceptional scale, functionality, and flow, with distinct living and sleeping wings that create the perfect balance between entertaining and everyday comfort. A gracious foyer opens into an expansive living and dining room, where oversized windows flood the space with natural light. With both eastern and southern exposures, sunlight pours into the home throughout the day. Just beyond, the chef's kitchen is thoughtfully designed with abundant counter space and an island with seating. High-end appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf oven, five-burner cooktop, built-in microwave and exhaust. From the stunning countertops and backsplash to the exceptional lighting and flooring, every detail has been carefully considered.

The primary suite enjoys beautiful eastern morning light and offers extraordinary storage, including a massive walk-in closet and custom built-ins. The en-suite bath evokes a spa-like, Zen atmosphere and features a dual vanity. The second bedroom is generously proportioned and complete with its own walk-in closet and custom storage. A beautifully appointed second full bath includes a soaking tub. Closets throughout the home are abundant and thoughtfully designed. New heating and air-conditioning units, individually controlled by thermostats, provide optimal comfort year-round. A beautifully finished powder room completes this special residence.

The Brevard is an impeccably managed, full-service cooperative in the heart of Midtown East, known for strong financials and attentive staff. The building is pet-friendly (15 pound limit) and offers a full-time doorman and concierge, a highly attentive live-in superintendent, a beautifully landscaped roof terrace with WiFi and sweeping city views, and a large second-floor laundry facility for added convenience.

Ideally located near the 4, 5, 6, E, and M subway lines, the building is moments from Morton Williams, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and the vibrant array of restaurants and cafés along First and Second Avenues. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate easy access to the Sutton Place Parks and the East River Promenade, as well as proximity to Bloomingdale's and Central Park. Residents also receive a discounted membership at Equinox directly across the street, with additional nearby fitness and wellness options including PureGym, SoulCycle, and Clean Market. Garage too!

Pied-à-terres, subletting, and gifting are permitted, with subletting allowed after two years of ownership. Low flip tax of $2.00 per share paid by buyer.

This is a rare opportunity to own a truly expansive and refined home in one of Manhattan's most established and convenient neighborhoods.

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.
