The heart of the apartment is an open chef's kitchen designed for both function and entertaining. Outfitted with brand-new appliances, a double sink, a dishwasher, custom built-ins, and a peninsula with room for bar stools, this kitchen is truly the showpiece of the home. Whether you're hosting dinner parties or enjoying a quiet morning, the layout flows seamlessly into the living area - set for modern living.
The expansive living room retains its original charm with soaring beamed ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace, now complemented by oversized casement windows that flood the space with natural light and frame beautiful treetop views. Throughout the apartment, thoughtful built-ins maximize storage without sacrificing style.
Set in a well-maintained, full-service prewar co-op with a full-time doorman, elevator, live-in super, roof deck, and laundry in building - all in the heart of Turtle Bay, by Midtown and the best of the East Side.
This is a rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready, completely renovated home in one of Manhattan's most coveted neighborhoods.
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.
