About This Property
Welcome home to Residence 12B at 211 East 51st Street, a mint-condition, high-floor sanctuary offering low carrying costs and a seamless blend of modern refinement and serenity in the heart of Midtown East..
Bathed in brilliant all-day natural light through an expansive wall of south-facing, double-glazed windows, this quiet two-bedroom retreat features airy nine-foot ceilings, solid-core doors, and rich four-inch blonde white oak floors throughout. The open chef's kitchen is crafted for graceful entertaining and culinary pursuits, fully appointed with striking Calacatta marble slab countertops and an integrated suite of premium Bosch appliances-including a cooktop, wall oven, microwave, and dishwasher.
Both generously proportioned bedrooms capture peaceful southern light and offer generous customized storage. The two full bathrooms serve as spa-inspired respites, finished with Italian marble floors, artisanal blue-gray tile, and bespoke vanities. Everyday practicality is elevated throughout the home by expansive closet space and the quintessential Manhattan luxury of an in-unit Bosch washer and dryer.
Developed by HJ Development, with architecture envisioned by CMA Design Studio and refined interiors by Shamir Shah Design, this intimate, full-service boutique condominium offers residents a 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and dedicated bicycle storage. The building sits immediately adjacent to Greenacre Park-a modernist pocket park celebrated for its 25-foot waterfall and tranquil landscape architecture-offering lush respite just moments from world-class dining, Fifth and Madison Avenue shopping, cultural institutions, and major transit options.
Whether envisioned as an ideal primary home, a high-yield investment, or a turnkey pied-à-terre, Residence 12B delivers quintessential New York living.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.
The kitchen has a Bosch cooktop, wall oven, microwave and dishwasher, set against Calacatta marble slab countertops.
A built-in dishwasher is one of those everyday conveniences you notice most after a long week, and it's from the same Bosch line as the rest of the kitchen. Four-inch blonde white oak runs through the home under nine-foot ceilings, and the solid-core doors give the rooms a solid, quiet feel. Both bathrooms have Italian marble floors, blue-gray tile and bespoke vanities, and the closet space is generous, which matters in a two-bedroom where storage tends to run out first.
The windows face south and are double-glazed. Open-horizon figures put direct sun from the south at about 8.5 hours in winter, from 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM, and about 6.1 hours in summer, from 9:55 AM to 4:01 PM. Nearby buildings can block some of it.
The building is a condominium developed by HJ Development, with architecture by CMA Design Studio and interiors by Shamir Shah Design. You'll find a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a fitness center, bicycle storage and an elevator, and pets are allowed. The apartment has a city view.
The Lexington Av/53 St station, served by the 6, E and F, is about 2 minutes on foot, and Grand Central Terminal is about 12 minutes away. Morton Williams is about 4 minutes away for groceries, and Greenacre Park is immediately adjacent.
