We're excited to share that Andrea Vacca and her husband, Steve Zaffarano, were recently featured in a captivating article by New York Magazine, There Are Hidden Gardens and Then There's Turtle Bay Gardens.
Nestled between the towering skyscrapers of Midtown, this unique enclave is a historic treasure, blending charming townhouses with a lush, private garden that has captivated residents and visitors for over a century. It has been home to an array of notable figures over the years, including iconic personalities like Katharine Hepburn and Stephen Sondheim.
The article highlights Andrea and Steve's journey to this enchanting community, quoting them as saying:
A few years before we moved in, a friend of mine who lived here was offering a meditation class in the garden; she’s a therapist, and she was doing it with a meditation teacher. I came and I was like, What is this place? On Facebook in the fall of 2020, I saw she was building a house upstate. I messaged her: “What are you doing with that apartment?” She said she was giving it up. We owned a condo in Fidi at the time — we had a roof-deck, a valet. But we rushed here the next morning and took it. We were so worried we were going to lose it. When people come visit us, I like to watch their faces. They’re like, Oh my God.
Andrea describes living in Turtle Bay Gardens as a true privilege, offering a serene escape amidst the bustling New York City. She and her husband feel incredibly fortunate to be part of this storied neighborhood, surrounded by such rich history and beauty.
