Within Turtle Bay's luxurious Dag Hammarskjold Tower, this expansive, loft-like one bedroom convertible to two with 1.5 baths, a private balcony and a view of the Chrysler Building is located on the northwest corner and offers a quiet environment for relaxing or working from home.
The renovated kitchen features sparkling granite countertops, a stainless steel backsplash, a deep undermount sink, blond wood cabinetry with ample storage and GE and Kenmore stainless steel appliances-a four-burner electric range, a refrigerator, a microwave and a dishwasher-as well as an in-residence Bosch washer and dryer.
The bedroom fits a king-sized bed and substantial furniture and includes a closet with California-style built-ins, and the en-suite, marble bathroom has dual sinks, a glass-walled tub, a rainforest shower, a European shower, Kohler fixtures and contemporary wood cabinetry. The residence includes a generous entry foyer and a marble powder room.
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 Wi-Fi 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.
