Opportunities like this are not simply rare ,they are once-in-a-generation. Offered to the market for the first time in 40 years, this beautifully renovated, 12th-floor one-bedroom with balcony condominium at The Enclave is a true gem in one of Midtown East's most architecturally singular boutique buildings. The building is 40 feet wide and 70 feet deep, rising 14 stories above one of Turtle Bay's quietest blocks. Just 25 residences, built in 1984, it stands as a genuine sculptural landmark; one of the most distinctive condominium buildings in all of Midtown East. From the moment the elevator opens directly onto your private hallway shared with just one other residence, the exclusivity is unmistakable. Only two apartments per floor means this is not a building where you pass a dozen neighbors on the way to your door. A sense of calm that feels worlds away from the pulse of the city below. Inside, discover sun-drenched living spaces anchored by magnificent bay windows that frame open, north-facing views with plenty of natural light throughout the day. The apartment has been thoughtfully renovated throughout, move-in ready, while honoring the generous proportions and classic appeal that first captivated its owners four decades ago. The windowed kitchen has been modernized with brand-new appliances, combining the pleasure of cooking with the pleasure of natural light. Every corner of this home feels expansive, warm, and alive. And then there is the balcony. The Enclave's signature semi-circular private balcony, suspended high above a quiet Midtown street on the 12th floor, with sweeping open city views to the north. Morning coffee above the skyline. Evening cocktails under open sky. The kind of outdoor space that transforms a home into a lifestyle. Pets- Only Cats are welcome.
