Turtle Bay Towers at 310 East 46th St. #9B

Magnificent, prewar loft home—- 850 Square feet, 13 feet beamed-ceilings, immense closet space, raised sleeping loft, walk-in-closet that makes a terrific home office and high windows that give one a feeling of living on the top of the world. Other wonderful features are a doorman/ concierge, additional storage and bicycle room, garage, wonderfully panoramic roof deck and a renovated lobby that gives modernism its Oscar for design and decoration. The building (a condop which means a cooperative with condo rules of residency and subletting) welcomes guarantors, pied-a-terre residents, investors, and pets. This is a home for loft living and an eclectic, airy space for those who decry the too-conventional and love the free-spirited.
