Property Description

Residence at 212 East 48th Street This beautifully renovated one-bedroom residence offers a rare combination of prewar charm, modern comfort, and exceptional scale in the heart of Turtle Bay. Upon entry, a gracious foyer sets the tone, leading into an oversized living and dining area defined by 9-foot beamed ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace, an uncommon and highly sought-after feature. The space is both inviting and versatile, easily accommodating distinct living, dining, and work-from-home areas, all while maintaining a sense of warmth and refinement. The windowed kitchen is thoughtfully designed and separate from the main living space, offering both functionality and natural light. Throughout the home, meticulous attention to detail and careful upkeep create a residence that feels both polished and comfortable. The corner bedroom is generously proportioned and filled with natural light, featuring oversized closets and a tranquil, private atmosphere. The bathroom is beautifully appointed and conveniently accessible from both the bedroom and living area, enhancing everyday ease and flow. Storage is a standout feature, with a total of five large closets thoughtfully distributed throughout the home. Designed in 1924 by noted architect John H. Duncan, this distinguished cooperative offers a full suite of amenities, including a marble lobby, landscaped roof deck with great views, private garden, live-in superintendent, central laundry, and allows in-unit laundry. The building’s architectural pedigree and classic design are complemented by a welcoming, well-maintained environment. Ideally located just moments from Grand Central, multiple subway lines, and some of Midtown’s finest dining and conveniences, this residence offers both accessibility and a quiet, residential feel. Flexible co-op policies allow co-purchasing, guarantors, and pied-à-terre ownership, subject to board approval, with financing permitted up to 80%. A compelling opportunity to own a refined and move-in-ready home in one of Manhattan’s most central and enduring neighborhoods.
