About This Home
A Masterfully Designed Luxury Studio Loft in Turtle Bay
"Thoughtfully designed" is an understatement when describing this sophisticated renovation. This luxury Turtle Bay loft seamlessly balances form and function, meticulously crafted by esteemed architect and designer Robert Garneau. With soaring 15-foot ceilings, the space exudes a sense of grandeur while redefining modern living through innovative design. Hidden storage solutions are seamlessly integrated behind custom-designed cabinetry, allowing for a clutter-free lifestyle. Safe to say this studio loft has more storage capacity than most 2 bedroom apartments on Park Avenue.
From the moment guests step through the foyer into the expansive living area, they'll be captivated by the " wow factor" this home delivers. A chef's kitchen of rare caliber, complete with Bosch, GE, and Perlick appliances, along with natural stone countertops, makes this loft a standout among studio spaces.
The spa-inspired bathroom is equally impressive, maximizing ceiling height with ambient lighting that fosters serenity. Climate control is effortless with a brand-new PTAC unit installed in mid-2024, offering remote temperature adjustments for optimal comfort.
Unwind after a long day in front of the sleek DecoFlame ethanol fireplace, complemented by a hidden Perlick wine & beverage fridge. For movie nights, choose between two elegant options: an automated TV lift revealing a Samsung flatscreen from behind the fireplace or a hidden projector compartment that transforms the expansive living area into a home theater. To set the perfect ambiance, enjoy three levels of window treatments, from sheer aesthetics to full blackout privacy.
A custom ladder leads to a cozy sleeping loft, offering additional hidden storage, and a queen-sized Murphy bed folds seamlessly into the living area.
The Building - 235 E 49th Street.

Residents enjoy the convenience of a doorman, live-in superintendent, and a common laundry room on the second floor.
