Description

A Two-Bedroom Hideaway at the Celebrated Centrale Apt 27C is one of the first resales in Midtown East’s most celebrated new development from 2019. With a super-secure elevator system, and only four apartments on the 27th floor, 27C opens into a welcoming entry foyer with a double closet. Cool white oak hardwood flooring is throughout and sets a modern tone.

The Great Room features a handsome open kitchen with white oak millwork, a marble waterfall island with seating, and a full range of high-end appliances by Gagganeau and other fancy brands, and a stunning glass-walled living/dining area. With three exposures South, East, and North, the space is filled with soft natural light throughout the day, and Big City glamour after dark. The primary bedroom has two exposures north and east, a finished walk-in closet, and a second custom-fitted closet.

Custom remote-controlled shades were also added. The en suite primary bath has warming radiant-heated floors, custom vanities, five fixtures, curated marble, and Art Deco flair. The cozy secondary bedroom faces north and has its own walk-in closet.

The second bathroom is also custom marble, with a large shower and also serves as a powder room. There is a Bosch W/D hidden in it’s own hall closet. Another resale "plus", besides the custom closets and automatic blinds, is that an ever-useful private storage unit transfers with the sale.

By far Turtle Bay’s most elegant residence, The Centrale has a European flavor; understated, and set back from the street. Just east of Lexington Avenue and close by the legendary Waldorf Astoria, it’s set amongst a backdrop of iconic landmarks including the Chrysler Building, Grand Central Station, and One Vanderbilt. Other destinations such as Rockefeller Center, Broadway Theatre and Fine Dining -- are all nearby.

Designed by Pelli Clarke & Partners, the impressive 71-story tower, sheathed in reflective glass, has a rare, block-through porte-cochere driveway that exits on 49th Street. The interior design and finishes are by the firm Champalimaud, whose sophisticated work also includes luxury hotels and resorts worldwide. Amenities at The Centrale include a stunning 75-foot indoor pool, with a large, well-designed gym with state-of-the-art equipment, steam room, a pilates/yoga studio and several private treatment rooms.

For recovery and relaxation, there’s a private dining room and kitchen, a conference/quiet room for WFH, a large outdoor terrace with seating, and two beautiful lounges. The chic marble lobby is concierge-attended 24/7 and the bronze entry doors are both manned and automatic. Newly reduced in price, now is the time to make your move!
