MODERN SOUTH-FACING 2-BEDROOM (CONVERTIBLE 3-BEDROOM) TOWNHOUSE WITH PRIVATE ENTRANCE. IMMEDIATE OCCUPANCY. Short—term lease is acceptable: minimum 3 months and the rent price is $15000 plus one month rent broker fee. Welcome to residence TH1, a modern townhouse in Midtown East of Manhattan, an expansive 2-story, two-bed, two-and-a-half bath condo unit can be a convertible three-bedroom unit. It includes an exquisitely crafted indoor space (1,399 SF) and a private entrance to the street. Its insulated windows mitigate any noise from the street to ensure a tranquil environment indoors. The ground floor entrance leads to the open Living Room with outstanding high ceilings (almost 11 ft). The open kitchen offers custom modern cabinetry with a quartz countertop plus a huge kitchen island. High-end appliances include a Liebherr refrigerator, a Bosch appliance set such as a convection oven, a five-burner gas cooktop, and a dishwasher. The kitchen also comes with a vented-out range hood, which rarely can be found in Manhattan. Brand new GE smart washer and vented-out dryer in the unit. The Living Room has a corner that can be converted to a 3rd bedroom or home office with tracks to be installed on the ceiling and moving panels. There are two bedrooms located on the second floor with another entrance. The en-suite primary bedroom features an expansive walk-in closet, and the second bedroom has a big closet. All the bedrooms can easily fit a king-size bed, and the bathrooms are custom-designed and have radiant heat floors. Designed by Architect Isaac and Stern, 249 East 50th Street Condominium is a brand-new boutique development. Striking a balance between modern and conservative, the building’s façade of limestone panels and large windows was designed to blend seamlessly into the Midtown East neighborhood. The development is a full-service doorman building with an array of amenities, including a gym, bike storage, and a roof deck. Located in the Turtle Bay neighborhood of Manhattan, 249 East 50th is only two blocks from the 6, M, and E trains. In addition, the neighborhood’s proximity to the United Nations and many different countries’ missions and consulates provides unique and unparalleled access to international flavors. 249 East 50th is at the center of it all, with a plethora of upscale restaurants and eateries like Avra Estiatorio and Smith and Wollensky. A range of grocery stores is also nearby—from the natural and organic-focused Whole Foods Market to D’Agostino and Morton Williams. Photos are virtually staged. Please inquire about private viewing.
