Next to the East River and just blocks to the United Nations, a recently renovated two-bedroom condo at 345 East 50th Street is available for $1,895,000. The Turtle Bay digs has a comfortable layout, with the two largest rooms, the living area and the primary bedroom, each benefiting from unique glass-enclosed terraces that stretch into balconies. While the building was constructed in 1900, the home, outfitted with modern conveniences like a built-in espresso machine and central air conditioning, very much meets a 21st-century standard of living.
Upon arriving by keyed elevator, you step into a spacious foyer with three closets. To the left of the entry, is the spacious living room, that boasts “the width of a townhouse,” according to the listing. Oversized windows and the enclosed terrace frame views of the tree tops of the street below, while also making the room feel even more open.
At the center of the home is the chef’s kitchen, decked out with custom cabinetry, sleek Silestone countertops, and a handy farmhouse sink. High-end appliances include a built-in espresso machine and a wine fridge. And thanks to the cozy built-in banquette and the large center island, the eat-in kitchen lives up to its name.
The primary suite stretches from one end of the apartment to the other. The bedroom, which also has an enclosed terrace and open balcony, has two walk-in closets and a dressing room with a washer/dryer. The luxurious main bath features a rain shower, steam shower, and soaking tub.
Next to the kitchen is a second bedroom, which has the potential to serve many purposes because of the convenient Murphy bed. The second full bath off of this room was also renovated.
The apartment is located in the M at Beekman condominium, which was constructed in 2007 by combining three pre-war brownstones. The pet-friendly condo offers white-glove amenities like a full-time doorman, concierge, as well as perks like a fitness room.
