150 E 49th Street #8-D

Unobstructed southern exposure and sky views from every room, a luxurious 20-foot long entryway leading into the ideally proportioned apartment, and the recently completed kitchen and bathroom renovation make this apartment the perfect full-time residence or pied-a-terre. The current owner, who works as an Architect for one of the top residential design firms in the city, gut renovated the kitchen to create an open concept chef?s kitchen and living space separated by a 7-foot long quartz topped island that doubles as a dining table and can comfortably seat 6. In addition to the massive amount of kitchen storage, the new owner of this special home will enjoy the newly installed in-unit Electrolux washer and dryer along with high end stainless steel kitchen appliances including a 36 bottle Viking wine fridge, gas Bertazzoni Range, concealed XO hood, and Blomberg fridge and dishwasher. Spacious and well-appointed, pin-drop quiet and overflowing with pre-war elegance, this apartment boasts 9.5 beamed ceilings, French doors, crown moldings built for hanging artwork, and designer lighting by Michael Anastassiades and Roll and Hill. Well laid out closet space and access to a large storage unit in the basement add to the functionality of the apartment. 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 gallery features custom built-ins and provides ample wall space to display your favorite artwork. The oversized living room and kitchen are perfect for entertaining and the king-sized bedroom affords an elegant bedroom layout. At night, the top of the Chrysler building can be seen from all rooms. 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 soon to open Urban space, and nightlife.
