The Queen’s New York apartment is MAD trendy – and the one below is now available

The ultimate property porn.

Fancy staying in a sweet city-centre apartment on your next trip to New York City? If you have a bit of cash to spend, you won't do much better than 50 UN Plaza on the east side of Manhattan. It's the building where the Queen has an apartment and it's swanky AF. You might expect the British monarch to stay in a old-fashioned country residence somewhere upstate when she visits but no - this spot is ultra modern and bang in the middle of the city's hectic Midtown district. She bought the unit in 2015 for a reported $7.9 million. The 3,000-square-foot apartment features a grand foyer, chef's kitchen, ample space for entertaining guests and floor-to-ceiling windows with spectacular views of the East River. The apartment below the Queen's one is now up for rent and though we'll probably never even be able to get a mortgage in Ireland, we're fantasising about owning it and becoming her neighbour. The residence, which was formerly owned by Elite Model Management owner Silvio Scaglia, mirrors the Queen's gaff. It's an open-plan space with each room flowing into the next. Its decor is sleek and neutral, letting the spectacular views all of the talking. Our favourite nook in the entire place? This gorgeous bathroom. We can seriously picture ourselves soaking in the tub with a glass of wine. Of course, a place like this ain't cheap. Living here will set you back $30,000 a month. Yes, a month. Want to see more?
