2-bedroom apartment for sale in East Midtown-Turtle Bay

Suburban Scale. Midtown Address. Unlimited Potential. Welcome to Residence 15/16F at 301 East 48th Street-an oversized 2BR/2.5BA duplex offering extraordinary proportions, a sprawling west-facing private terrace, and the opportunity to create a truly custom home in the heart of Midtown. Spread across two levels, this is not your typical Manhattan apartment. With an expansive entertaining level, two king-sized bedrooms, abundant storage, and substantial private outdoor space, 15/16F offers the scale, separation, and livability rarely found in New York City. For buyers looking to create something special, the fundamentals are already in place. Enter on the 15th floor, where the residence opens into a sprawling living and entertaining level. The oversized great room offers exceptional flexibility, with ample space for an XL sectional, a dedicated entertainment area, and a separate formal dining space. Adjacent to the great room is the kitchen, offering the opportunity to create a modern, open-concept culinary space designed entirely to your specifications. Just off the living area is arguably the home's most impressive feature: an expansive west-facing private terrace stretching nearly 23 feet across the residence. With open city views, afternoon sunlight, and ample space for outdoor dining and lounging, this is a true extension of the living space and a luxury rarely found in Midtown. A conveniently located powder room completes the first level. Upstairs, the home transitions into a private bedroom level, completely separated from the entertaining space below. Both bedrooms offer impressive proportions and can comfortably accommodate king-sized beds and additional furniture. The primary suite features an ensuite bathroom, while a second full bathroom serves the additional bedroom. Generous closet space and storage throughout further enhance the home's practicality. While the residence is ready for its next chapter, its greatest appeal lies in the opportunity to make it entirely your own. With a highly functional duplex layout, oversized rooms, substantial private outdoor space, and the flexibility to reimagine the interiors, 15/16F offers a compelling canvas for a thoughtful renovation. The features that are hardest to find in Manhattan are already here. The finishing touches are yours to decide. 301 East 48th Street is a full-service cooperative with 24/7 door staff, a live-in superintendent, on-site laundry and parking (available at a discounted rate for shareholders), and a furnished roof deck with sweeping city and East River views. The building offers uncommon flexibility, allowing up to 80% financing, pied-a-terres, gifting, parental purchasing, subletting, pets, and installation of a washer/dryer (all with board approval). There is currently a capital assessment of $84/month. A separate special assessment of $650.21/month is scheduled to expire in June 2027.
