Southern and western exposures and Chrysler Building views from every room in this light-filled, corner one bedroom, one-bath residence with private balcony in Turtle Bay's luxurious Dag Hammarskjold Tower.
The entry foyer leads to a dining area with seating for eight and the renovated, windowed kitchen with espresso quartz countertops, white shaker cabinetry and full-sized stainless steel appliances--an electric range with hood, a GE refrigerator, a Maytag dishwasher and a microwave. The living area provides room for ample seating as well as a home office and leads to the balcony, which is finished with terra cotta-style tile flooring.
A custom designed blond wood and opaque glass wall separates the living area from the bedroom, which easily fits a queen-sized bed and two nightstands. The windowed bathroom features a bathtub, a European showerhead and Kohler hardware. Four large closets, a built-in credenza in the dining area, and a built-in vanity in the bedroom provide ample storage. Recessed lighting and elegant wall sconces throughout.
Since its completion in 1984 by The Gruzen Partnership architectural firm and named in honor of United Nations Secretary General and Nobel Peace Prize winner Dag Hammarskjold, the condominium has retained its place as one of the premier luxury residences within the serene Turtle Bay neighborhood. Dag Hammarskjold Tower features a full complement of attentive staff, an elegant lobby, a garage, a laundry room, a playroom and WiFi in the common areas, including the Skyline Lounge on the 43rd Floor with its panoramic East River and city views. Membership in the health club, for a nominal fee, affords access to an indoor swimming pool with spectacular city views, a sun deck and a fitness center with new equipment, sauna and steam rooms.
Dag Hammarskjold Tower provides easy access to the United Nations, international missions and consulates, Midtown offices and Grand Central Terminal. Nearby gourmet groceries include Amish Market, Grand Central Market and the Wednesday Greenmarket at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza. From Michelin-starred Sushi Yasuda and Aquavit to neighborhood favorites Angeletto, Deux Amis, Rosa Mexicano, Peking Duck House, La Gioconda and Yara, myriad dining options abound. Dag Hammarskjold Tower is served by the Select Bus Service along Second and Third Avenues, the 4, 5, 6, 7, E and M trains and a Citi Bike docking station just across East 47th Street.
