From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Stunning Three-Bedroom Condominium in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. In the heart of Turtle Bay, where the rhythm of Manhattan quiets into elegance and discretion, Apartment 14CD at The Alexander offers a rare blend of scale, light, and thoughtful design. This 2,086-square-foot, three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom condominium is the seamless result of two units combined to create a space that's both expansive and intimate. Soaring 11'6" ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows flood the home with natural light, enhancing the warmth of hardwood floors and the clean lines of contemporary finishes. The open-concept living and dining areas flow effortlessly into a Poggenpohl-designed kitchen, appointed with Sub-Zero and Viking appliances-an ideal layout for entertaining or simply living well. A 45-square-foot private balcony faces west, offering a serene escape, with views of the city skyline-a perfect setting for quiet mornings or twilight conversations. Each bedroom is generously sized and features en-suite bathrooms, with spa-like touches such as limestone finishes that provide both comfort and calm. The Alexander complements this refined residence with full-service amenities, including a 24-hour doorman, state-of-the-art fitness center, and a landscaped roof terrace with panoramic views-an urban sanctuary high above the bustle. Located at 250 East 49th Street, Apartment 14CD places you within easy reach of Midtown's business core, Grand Central, the UN, and some of the city's most iconic cultural institutions. This is more than a home-it's a composed statement of city living at its most elevated. Storage is not included with the unit but may be rented for $75/month.
