Property Description for 439 East 51st Street, 5-B

New to the market with Fox, is this charming, prewar classic seven room coop apartment on quiet & elegant Beekman Place.

Currently configured as two bedrooms plus a library, you enter the apartment through a long foyer which leads to a spacious living room with a wood burning fireplace and side views of the East River and roomy formal dining room is big enough for dinner parties. There's a lovely library off the living room and a master bedroom with good closets, views of the East River, and a bath en-suite. The cozy second bedroom also has an adjacent full bath. There is a modern eat-in kitchen plus a maid's room (or guest room) and bath.

This apartment can be restored to its original configuration with three bedrooms, but it provides a sophisticated & comfortable lifestyle on Beekman Place as is. There are lovely herringbone floors, through-wall air conditioning, an in-wall sound system, and a washer/dryer.

439 East 51st Street is full service building and has a live in super.

Please note that there is a $1,021.63/month assessment through December 2013.

Beekman Place | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Beekman Place is less of a neighborhood than it is a quiet two-block enclave just north of the United Nations on the far eastern edge of Turtle Bay. There is only one street that runs through the neighborhood, also called Beekman Place, that wraps itself around 49th Street and 51st Street.  

This bucolic little stretch of the east side has always been a cherished spot for those fortunate enough to have found refuge here. The noise and the street traffic from the city surrounds is virtually non-existent as there are no through streets in this neighborhood.  

The neighborhood composition largely consists of a few clusters of townhouses and prewar co-ops. The exception to the rule is the charming art-deco-styled Beekman Place Hotel at the corner of First Avenue and 49th Street and the two post-war towers, 860 and 870 UN Plaza that front the grounds of the United Nations.
