Bob Dylan's Turtle Bay Townhouse

While most closely associated with Greenwich Village, Bob Dylan called this townhouse at 242 East 49th Street home during the early 1970s. Fully renovated, it was originally built in 1899 and offers five bedrooms and five and a half baths spread across 5,400 square feet and five floors. Seven wood-burning fireplaces, floor-to-ceiling arched windows, a library with built-in bookcases, and a chef's kitchen are among the highlights, as is the bi-level rear garden. It offers a full-width brick terrace and a low wooden gate which gives access to Turtle Bay Gardens, a historic private park accessible only to the residents of the surrounding 20 townhomes, all of which share a common garden filled with mature trees and multiple fountains.
