247 East 49th Street, #4

Tucked away in Turtle Bay is an entire top floor of a townhouse on lovely Katharine Hepburn Way: 49th Street between 2nd & 3rd Avenues. This residence is available furnished or unfurnished. Upon entering the residence you are welcomed into the graciously sized south-facing living/dining room that boasts three arched sash windows overlooking the tree-lined street.

The living area retains original details such as recessed shutters, hardwood floors, tons of built-in shelving, a pleasant combination of exposed brick and plaster walls & a wood-burning fireplace. Seamlessly integrated with these prewar details is a newly designed open kitchen with a Carrara marble kitchen island that cleverly hides ample storage on both sides. The kitchen offers a Viking range & microwave, Liebherr refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, & beautiful stainless steel apron sink with Waterworks fixtures all accented by tasteful charcoal grey lacquer cabinets & marble wall tiles.

Two skylights above artfully bring light in.Heading north across the top floor youll find a home office/utility room with an LG combo washer/dryer (one of the good ones) & plenty of storage. This leads to a windowed and beautifully renovated bath with cast iron soaking tub, marble subway tile flooring, pedestal sink & Waterworks fixtures. Both the bath & the bedroom have a lovely architectural feature of a curved glass transom above the solid wood doors rendering both rooms light and airy.

The king-sized bedroom has two sash windows (also with recessed shutters) facing north over trees & the townhouses garden lovely at all times of year. Working brick fireplace, exposed brick & plaster walls, a wall of closets & plenty of room to move about. Throughout the home, you have ceiling heights just under 10 feet, through-the-wall air conditioning & the scale, character and quietness that one can only get on the top floor of a solidly built townhouse from the late 1890s.
