Move right into 242 East 49th Street, a renovated 19-foot-wide townhouse with elevator, which seamlessly blends the home’s architectural character with modern sensibilities. Built in 1899, this 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom home boasts approximately 5,400 square feet of interior space over five stories an...d features grand-scaled rooms, 7 woodburning fireplaces, stunning arched floor-to-ceiling windows, central A/C, security system, and an enchanting bi-level oversized south-facing rear garden. 242 East 49th Street is nestled in historic and coveted Turtle Bay Gardens, a private enclave of 20 homes steeped in history and boasting notable past residents including Bob Dylan, Stephen Sondheim, and E. B. White. GARDEN FLOOR: Enter through a gated forecourt into the stone-tiled entrance foyer which flows to the kitchen and media/dining room as well as a powder room. The beautifully designed eat-in kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring top-of-the-line appliances including a six-burner Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, custom designed cabinetry, mosaic-tiled backsplash, stone countertops, and a built-in breakfast bar. Adjacent to the kitchen is the tasteful butler’s pantry which flows into the south-facing sunlit media room with space for casual dining and complemented by a wood-burning fireplace and a wall of windows. Exit the lovely glass door to find the perfect outdoor urban oasis. The unique flagstone bi-level patio and landscaped garden is enhanced by mature trees and includes charming brick steps leading up to the parlor floor terrace. Beyond a low wooden gate, you will find additional room to stroll and relax in historic Turtle Bay Gardens, a private park accessible only to the residents of the surrounding 20 townhomes, all of whom share a common garden filled with mature trees and multiple fountains. PARLOR FLOOR: The sun flooded grand and gracious back parlor with soaring ceilings is currently used as an elegant formal living room and dining room with a wood burning fireplace and three sets of curved floor-to-ceiling glass French doors opening to a lovely brick terrace that runs the width of the house and showcases the beauty and serenity of the backyard gardens. The front library with another wood-burning fireplace is a bibliophile’s dream, enveloped in artfully designed floor-to-ceiling built-in bookcases with a library ladder and accented by three beautiful windows. THIRD FLOOR: On this level are two generously scaled bedrooms with hardwood floors, oversized windows, and word-burning fireplaces. The rear facing bedroom features French doors opening to a Juliet balcony overlooking the gardens and has a renovated tiled bathroom with tub ensuite. The second bedroom utilizes the adjacent renovated hall bathroom with glass stall shower. FOURTH FLOOR: On this floor you will find two additional large bedrooms. The sunny rear third bedroom has a wood-burning fireplace and a renovated ensuite bathroom and the front fourth bedroom has a renovated bathroom with glass stall shower just across the hall. FIFTH FLOOR: Ascend the staircase or the elevator to the top floor and you will find the full-floor sundrenched primary suite with beamed ceilings, wood-burning fireplace, and three sets of French doors opening to another south-facing private terrace. The spa-like primary bathroom boasts a Steamist steam bath sauna and a Juliet balcony and sits adjacent to a huge custom outfitted walk-in closet.
