150 E 49th Street #1-D

Create the perfect full-time residence or pied--terre from this coveted 'D-line' apartment, known for its' perfect proportions, luxurious 20-foot long entryway, and south-facing windows in every room. *Included for review & design inspiration are photographs and the floor plan of a top architect's renovation of 8D in the building.* Spacious, pin-drop quiet, and overflowing with pre-war elegance, this apartment boasts 9.5 beamed ceilings, an open kitchen, renovated bathroom, washing machine, dishwasher, great closets, and access to a large private storage unit in the basement. Upon entering this space one is immediately drawn to the light flooding the apartment through the large south-facing windows that are an impressive 40 feet away from the front door. The oversized living room and kitchen are perfect for entertaining and the king-sized bedroom affords an elegant bedroom layout. Unbelievably quiet for this most central location while receiving great natural light - this is not your typical first floor apartment. The South-facing windows in every room overlook the building's tranquil and rarely used planted courtyard (measuring 100' X 20'). *Attention plant lovers* the courtyard is easily accessible via apartment windows where 'personal gardening possibilities' await. There is no shortage of storage with 6 closets in the apartment, in addition to a large basement storage unit that is offered with the apartment. 150 East 49th Street is an immaculately maintained boutique elevator building with a friendly live-in superintendent, as well as a weekend attendant, who work 7 days a week from 8:00am 4:00pm. Also featuring a recently updated central laundry room, bike room, storage, and a 100-foot long common courtyard with picnic tables and planters. The building is wired for Verizon FIOS and recently underwent the conversion to a modern gas heating system. Sorry, no dogs allowed in this building. Turtle Bay is an increasingly popular enclave of Midtown East that still holds an intimate neighborhood feel while also enjoying the convenience of proximity to cultural and business centers, transportation (6,E,F,M trains + Grand Central), acclaimed restaurants like the recently opened Le Pecora Bianca and Urban space, and multiple nightlife options.
