Carter Horsley's Review of 212 East 48th Street

"This handsome, pre-war cooperative apartment building at 212 East 48th Street in the Turtle Bay neighborhood was erected in 1924.

It was designed by John H. Duncan, who designed Grant’s Tomb in Riverside Park and the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Memorial Arch in Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn at the entrance to Prospect Park. " Read Carter's Full Review

Broker & Buyer Comments

"The doorman sits at the entrance just inside the street doors. You then go down the stairs to his desk and a formal lobby with lovely French doors to a private building garden before getting to the elevator bank. There`s a laundry in the basement. The building does not have a very difficult board but the managing agnet is a bit disorganized. There`s a flip tax of 3 month`s maintenance paid by the seller. The maintenance in this building is extremely high; the apartments take a long time to sell and have to be sold at a discount. 80& financing permitted and the board will accept foreign buyers including UN diplomats. Pets are permitted. The building is located on a pretty block in Turtle Bay but it`s just slightly east of busy 3rd Avenue so it`s still pretty commercial. It`s excellent for someone who wants a mid-town location for easy access to work."

"The building added a lovely furnished, planted roof deck in summer 2018!"
