the cosmopolitan, #34A

145 East 48th Street Turtle Bay, Manhattan, NY 10017

Stunning open city views from every room in this high-floor, one-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence in The Cosmopolitan Condominium in Midtown East's Turtle Bay. With nine-foot ceilings and oversized windows, Residence 34A overlooks such architectural landmarks as the Art Deco General Electric Building of 1931 and 525 Lexington Avenue, designed in 1923 in the Lombard Revival style by the same architect who designed the Empire State Building.

The entry foyer, with both entry and linen closets, leads to the living and dining area with its private balcony. With two exposures, northern and western, this light-filled living space is perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or even hosting overnight guests with the custom-designed Murphy bed and storage panels.

Newly renovated, the separate kitchen features all GE stainless steel appliances--a four-burner gas range, a microwave, a counter-depth refrigerator and a dishwasher--marble countertop with deep, undermount sink, high-gloss European cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, stone flooring and a pantry.

The bedroom easily fits a California king-sized bed and additional furniture, and the closet has custom built-ins. Both the full bathroom, with deep soaking tub, and the half bathroom are clad in travertine marble tile and classic Kohler fixtures.

Designed by Gruzen Samton Steinglass in 1985 in the Postmodern style, The Cosmopolitan offers residents a full complement of attentive staff, an elegant lobby, a garage, a laundry room and a hardscaped rooftop with 360-degree views of Manhattan.

The Cosmopolitan provides easy access to the United Nations, international missions and consulates, Midtown offices, Madison Avenue shopping 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, Avra, Deux Amis, Peking Duck House, La Gioconda, Yara, Rosa Mexicana and Smith and Wollensky, myriad dining options abound. Crunch Fitness, New York Sports Club and the Vanderbilt YMCA are all nearby. The Cosmopolitan is served by the Select Bus Service along Lexington and Third Avenues, the 4, 5, 6, 7, E and M trains and a Citi Bike docking station at East 48th Street and Third Avenue.
