Property Description for 959 First Ave, TC-1

CAN BE OFFERED FURNISHED. High above the city on the 27th floor, this breathtaking two bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence offers approximately 1,947 square feet of interior space complemented by two expansive private terraces spanning over 800 square feet. Designed for a seamless indoor–outdoor lifestyle, the home delivers a true penthouse experience, with sweeping Manhattan skyline and East River views unfolding from nearly every room. Set within The Sutton Condominium, this home is part of the coveted Terrace Collection, distinguished by contemporary craftsmanship, refined materials, and thoughtful architectural detailing. From the moment you enter, the sense of scale and light is immediate. The expansive great room is framed by dramatic 270-degree exposures and soaring ceilings reaching up to 11 feet, flooding the space with natural light throughout the day. A striking ethanol-fueled Planika fireplace with real flame anchors the living area, which flows seamlessly onto a spectacular terrace showcasing iconic New York City views. The adjacent dining area transitions effortlessly into the chef’s kitchen, outfitted with a full suite of top-of-the-line Gaggenau appliances, double stacked full-size ovens, a 50-bottle wine refrigerator, a discreet microwave drawer, and Glassos countertops atop a generous center island designed for both performance and gathering. Thoughtful upgrades include a garbage disposal, Watermark fixtures, and a separate filtered-water spout. A sculptural powder room clad in Nero Marquina with Bardiglio stone floors completes the public spaces. Occupying the northeast corner, the primary suite is a serene experience with open East River views and direct access to a private east-facing terrace-perfect for sunrise mornings. The luxurious, windowed ensuite bath features Calacatta marble walls, a Nero Marquina marble rain-head shower, a deep soaking tub, radiant herringbone-patterned floors, and Watermark fixtures. The expansive wall of closets are outfitted with custom handmade LEMA Italian clay doors, integrated lighting, glass shelving, and concealed charging outlets. The second bedroom is equally well-appointed, offering a large walk-in closet and a windowed ensuite bath with a glass-enclosed soaking tub and shower, along with custom textured wall finishes. This residence is enhanced by an extensive Crestron smart home system, providing integrated control of climate, lighting, shades, and entry, with built-in ceiling speakers, terrace-ready Sonos, and wall-mounted control panels. Additional highlights include keyless front-door entry, hose hookups on both terraces, and exceptional overhead kitchen storage extending to the ceiling.

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.
