Property Description for 353 East 50th Street, 2

Welcome home to a masterfully reimagined residence where architectural pedigree meets effortless modern living. Perched on the second floor of 353 East 50th Street, this three-bedroom home has been stripped to the studs and meticulously rebuilt by an internationally renowned architect to maximize every inch of its airy footprint. The sense of volume is immediate, thanks to soaring ten-and-a-half-foot ceilings and an open-concept living and dining area anchored by a classic wood-burning fireplace. New, custom-made tilt/turn steel-frame windows provide a serene sanctuary, while the interior is outfitted with the latest in home technology, including a Crestron smart lighting system and Sonos surround sound. For those working from home, integrated custom built-ins provide a dedicated, sleek office nook that blends seamlessly into the design. The kitchen is a showcase of high-end materials and precision engineering, featuring a suite of Miele appliances, custom millwork, and a stunning Arctic White Silestone center island countertop and Brazilian quartzite flooring serving as the heart of the home. The renovation spared no detail: rift-cut 3/4” solid white oak hardwood floors run throughout, complemented by Zumtobel lighting and Dornbracht plumbing fixtures. Modern comforts are fully integrated with a two-zone central A/C and heating system, home automation, and a brand-new in-unit washer/dryer. Situated on a picturesque, tree-lined street within a boutique cooperative, this home offers close proximity to an array of premier dining, shopping, and transit options. Complete with a dedicated storage space, this residence is a rare find for those who appreciate sophisticated design and turnkey convenience.

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.
