About This Property
Sky-High Luxury at The Halcyon | 305 East 51st Street, 30C
Soaring 30 floors above Midtown East, Residence 30C at The Halcyon is a rare offering of scale, light, and city drama. This stunning 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom condominium spans approximately 2,500 square feet with 10'2" ceilings and a wraparound wall of floor-to-ceiling windows that frame breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline — from the glittering East River to the iconic towers of Midtown.
The heart of the home is an extraordinary great room measuring 16' x 39'6" — an expansive, sun-drenched canvas perfectly suited for grand entertaining or effortless everyday living. Wide-plank hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and sweeping cityscape panoramas create an atmosphere that is at once dramatic and serene.
The open-concept chef's kitchen features marble countertops, premium appliances, an oversized island, and a breakfast bar, opening seamlessly to the living and dining spaces. A dedicated laundry room with washer/dryer adds to the everyday convenience.
The generous primary suite measures 13'6" x 22'8" and is appointed with multiple walk-in closets and a spa-caliber en-suite bath. Two additional well-proportioned bedrooms — each with ample closet space — offer flexibility for family, guests, or a private home office. A gracious 21' foyer completes this thoughtfully designed residence.
Located in The Halcyon, one of Midtown East's most sought-after full-service condominiums, residents enjoy white-glove doorman service, a state-of-the-art fitness center, garage parking, bike storage, and lush garden spaces. Moments from the finest dining, culture, and transportation that New York City has to offer.
This is Manhattan living at its most elevated — literally and figuratively.
The advertised real estate taxes reflect the net amount after the co-op/condo tax abatement, which provides an estimated annual savings of $9,487.44 for eligible primary residents.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
At 16' x 39'6, the great room is the centerpiece of this 2,500-square-foot condominium at 305 East 51st Street, and it connects to the kitchen and to the living and dining spaces. The ceilings are 10'2, and a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows wraps around the main rooms. Unobstructed views of the skyline run from the East River to the Midtown towers.
The kitchen is open-concept, with marble countertops, premium appliances, an oversized island and a breakfast bar. The trade-off of an open plan is less separation between cooking and the living space, but the island and breakfast bar give you a place to sit while you cook.
The primary suite measures 13'6 x 22'8 and has multiple walk-in closets and an en-suite bath.
A dedicated laundry room holds the washer and dryer, which is one of those everyday conveniences that's easy to undervalue until you've lived without it. The building offers white-glove doorman service and garage parking. Amenities include a gym, an indoor pool, a sauna, a spa, a golf simulator, a resident lounge, a children's playroom, a courtyard and a garden. Cats and dogs are allowed.
The Lexington Av/53 St station is about 4 minutes on foot, and the 59 St station is about 13 minutes. Morton Williams is about 4 minutes away for groceries, and East River Walk is about 8 minutes on foot.
