From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

A rare combination of space, style, outdoor living and convenience, this beautifully renovated 1,600-square-foot two-bedroom, two-bathroom Condominium is complete with a spectacular landscaped terrace and its own DEEDED PARKING SPACE. The current owner undertook a thoughtful gut renovation, creating a home that feels both sophisticated and incredibly comfortable. At the heart of the apartment is an enormous corner, loft-like living and dining room lined with windows and open city views. The outlook is striking during the day and especially magical at night, when the city lights become the backdrop to the entire living space. Even better, the views are protected by landmarked surroundings. The sleek, windowed kitchen opens seamlessly to the living and dining areas and is designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A built-in bar with wine refrigerator adds another thoughtful touch. Just beyond the living room is the show-stopping landscaped terrace-fully decked and designed as a true extension of the home. With a built-in BBQ, irrigation system and electric awning, it is equally suited to summer dinners, morning coffee or simply escaping the pace of the city. The split-bedroom layout offers exceptional privacy. The generously proportioned second bedroom is the size of many primary suites, while the primary bedroom feels like a hotel retreat. Its spa-like bathroom features an oversized walk-in shower and separate toilet room, while a huge walk-in closet provides exceptional storage. There is also a washer/dryer hookup within the primary suite. Additional features include hardwood floors throughout, custom lighting, motorized shades and central air conditioning. With low monthly carrying costs, a deeded parking space and the option to purchase the apartment furnished, this is a truly turnkey home offering the space and comforts that are so difficult to find in Manhattan. Turtle Bay House is a full-service condominium ideally situated at the corner of East 48th Street and Second Avenue. The building recently completed a stylish renovation of its lobby and modernization of its elevators, and offers a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, on-site managing agent, laundry facilities and on-site parking garage. Pet-friendly and conveniently located near Grand Central, the United Nations, neighborhood restaurants, shopping and multiple subway lines, the building offers exceptional accessibility while sitting at the edge of one of Midtown East's most charming residential enclaves.
