This one-bedroom home in Turtle Bay Towers at 310 East 46th Street, asking $825,000, plays with creative design and dramatic custom construction to give it the feel of an industrial loft. Steel and tempered glass surround a floating staircase, and grand dimensions and open spaces make this condop stand out from the average full-service midtown Manhattan pack.
Beneath 12.5-foot beamed ceilings, oversized double height windows overlook a serene garden. Every corner offers the open feeling of space and natural light that loft buyers love. The apartment doesn’t skimp on 21st-century comforts like polished concrete floors, custom outfitted closets with frosted sliding glass doors and revolving Mika Aire ceiling lights and fan.
The modern chef’s kitchen features Viking stainless steel appliances, a massive breakfast bar, custom cabinets, a large pantry, a glass tile backsplash and porcelain tile flooring. Tucked away in a corner is a custom built-in home office.
Hovering above it all, a sleep loft accommodates a king-sized bed plus plenty of storage. An exquisite spa bath boasts a rain shower head and Duravit fixtures while not straying from the moody industrial look.
Originally built as a print factory in 1929, Turtle Bay Towers is a full service building with a 24-hour concierge, a live in super, new laundry rooms on each floor, a storage and bike room and a parking garage in the building. A finished roof terrace is available to the building’s residents. Another perk: The building is a condop, so you have the flexibility of condo rules and the option to sublet or use as a pied-a-terre.
