A city with Georgian meticulousness in 241 E. 48th St. It has come on sale – and beyond its many things, it comes with coveted access to a rare oasis in Manhattan.
At $ 11.5 million, this $ 5,500 -meter settlement sits within the exclusive gardens of Turtle Bay, a historical enclave known for its lush, private municipal garden, a lush hanging only for the 20 houses around.
Property, a five-storey masterpiece with a finished basement, boasts a recent renovation approved by modern signs and luxury as a smart home system and access to the elevator, all preserving its charm of the century.
Turtle Bay gardens, located between the eastern 48 and 49 roads between the second and third roads, has long been a magnet for the lamps.
In 1920, Charlotte Hunnewell Sorchan turned the area by acquiring the adjacent parts and renewing them as a cohesive community.
She recorded the architects to remove the original facades, replacing them with stylish mortar and cultivated a central garden filled with gorgeous trees and nice shrubs. Today, the enclave remains a coveted attraction.
The city’s house itself is a prominent attitude. Its first floor contains a kitchen of a chef with a waterfall island, a glittering sun dipped with 20 -legged ceilings and a sparkling fireplace.
The salon level offers an official living room with a Juliet balcony and a built -in library, while the upper floors houses a full floor suite with a bathroom -like bathroom, two bedroom inserts and an attic style suite with a large ovelooking terrace.
A basement entertainment room, a gym and a large storage round offers.
“It is offered far below the replacement value – estimated to preserve the new owner over $ 2 million in renovation costs – this is a true masterpiece of the warden,” List says. The property is represented by Nikki Field and Matt Perceval, Sotheby’s international reality.
Turtle Bay gardens have historically attracted a list of cultural icons, including Katharine Hepburn, Stephen Soheim and EB White, who scored “Charlotte’s Web” while living on the 48th road.
But perhaps Garden Enclave’s most famous resident was Bob Dylan, who lived next door at 242 E. 49th St. for two decades, from 1980 to 2005. The property, which is also one of the few who enjoyed access, listed for $ 7.25 million in December 2024. It entered into a contract in February.
Dylan’s mandate in the Turtle Gulf gardens begins when he was rented in the city’s city in the 1980s, buying it later in 1990 through a business association.
He raised his young children there, attracted to the intimacy of beloved enclus.
He finally sold the house in 2005 for $ 4.45 million, and its latest ranking coincided – just by chance, the insist agent – with the theatrical publication of Buzzy 2024 on his life.
The creative legacy of the neighborhood extends beyond Dylan. Hepburn lives in 244 E. 49th St., while Auheim called the same address in the house for 60 years until his death in 2021; His property received $ 7 million in 2023.
Even more recently, banker Olivier Sarkozy and the Mary-Kate Olsen children’s star owned a dual city in 226-228 E. 49th St., selling it for just over $ 10 million in 2024 after their divorce.
