Overview of The Diplomat at 210 East 47th Street

Built in 1956, the Diplomat is a full service condominium located at 210 East 47th Street in Turtle Bay with 96 units. The building features a 24 hour doorman, live-in superintendent, concierge service, and a beautiful marble lobby. Notable architectural details include an angled east wall that fronts a large driveway and plaza, corner windows, and some terraces, though the building has no balconies.

Apartments typically feature hardwood floors (including herringbone patterns in some units), separate windowed kitchens with dishwashers, windowed bathrooms, and generous closet space. The building offers a mix of studios, one bedrooms, and two bedrooms and amenities include central air conditioning and central laundry facilities.

The location provides exceptional convenience, situated just blocks from Grand Central Terminal and the United Nations. Residents have easy access to multiple subway lines (4, 5, 6, 7, S, E, M trains) and are surrounded by restaurants, shopping, and cultural attractions. The building sits on an interesting block near the curved balcony Octavia building and the Railroad Branch YMCA, with a landscaped plaza featuring waterfalls across the street.

The Diplomat is notably investor friendly, allowing 30 day rentals and maintaining a flexible sublet policy. The building welcomes pets and offers white glove service with an easy approval process. Its prime Midtown East location makes it ideal for primary residences, pied-à-terre use, or as an investment.
