Overview of The Enclave at 224 East 52nd Street

The Enclave, located at 224 East 52nd Street, is a distinctive 16-story condominium in the Turtle Bay neighborhood of Midtown East. Designed by architect Marvin H. Meltzer of Meltzer/Mandel Architects, the building features a unique sliver design that minimizes its visual impact among the predominantly low-rise surroundings. The façade combines earthtone brick with a soft pink stucco, creating a sculptural quality that enhances its integration into the neighborhood. Originally opened in 1984 as 'Townhouse 52,' the building has transitioned to a boutique condominium with only 15 residences, offering a sense of exclusivity and privacy.

Apartments in The Enclave are characterized by their spacious layouts and abundant natural light, with many units featuring private balconies that provide stunning city views. Common attributes include hardwood floors, modern kitchens equipped with high-end stainless-steel appliances, and luxurious bathrooms with elegant finishes. The building also offers amenities such as a 24-hour doorman, a well-maintained rooftop deck, and laundry facilities, making it a convenient choice for residents.

The Enclave's location is ideal for those seeking a blend of tranquility and urban convenience, situated on a quiet, tree-lined street yet just steps away from vibrant shopping, dining, and transportation options. Notably, the building is positioned near Greenacre Park, enhancing the appeal of its outdoor spaces. While pets are not permitted, the building welcomes a variety of living arrangements, including investors and sub-letting.

Overall, The Enclave stands out as a well-designed, boutique condominium that offers a unique living experience in one of New York City's most sought-after neighborhoods.
