Property Description

Experience the timeless elegance of Manhattan's pre-war architecture in this oversized one-bedroom residence.

Located in an intimate boutique building in the heart of Turtle Bay, Apartment 8A offers a quiet, refined retreat just steps from the energy of Midtown.

Gracious Layout: A welcoming entry gallery leads into a sprawling living room, providing an open and airy feel that is rarely found in modern one-bedroom apartments.

Pre-War Character: Dramatic beamed ceilings, original hardwood floors, and classic moldings preserve the historic integrity and charm of the 1920s.

Expansive Bedroom: The primary suite is a true sanctuary, large enough for a king-sized bed, additional seating, and substantial closet space.

Quiet Living: Positioned on the 8th floor, the apartment is tucked away from the street noise, providing a peaceful environment for relaxation or a home office.

The Building: 142 East 49th Street
This 1924 boutique residence combines the prestige of a classic cooperative with the flexibility of a "condop" structure.

Services: Features a part-time doorman (8 AM – Midnight), a dedicated live-in resident manager, a central laundry room, and bike storage.

Flexibility: The building allows for pied-à-terres, co-purchasing, and has a liberal subletting policy, making it an excellent choice for both primary residents and those seeking a city pied-à-terre.

Located on a tree-lined block between Lexington and Third Avenue, you are at the center of it all:
World-Class Dining: Steps from Smith & Wollensky, The Grill, and the reimagined Waldorf Astoria.

Ultimate Commute: A short walk to Grand Central Terminal, providing instant access to the 4, 5, 6, 7, S, Metro-North, and the LIRR.

Daily Conveniences: Within blocks of Whole Foods, Equinox, and the peaceful Greenacre Park.
