Property Description for 870 United Nations Plaza, 31/32-D

UNIQUE high floor elegant duplex with spectacular RIVER and CITY views (north and east) from every room. Enter the grand and gracious 31st floor foyer with beautiful marble floor. The stylish WET BAR to the left greets you as you enter the huge CORNER LIVING ROOM with WOOD BURNING FIREPLACE, custom wood floors and moldings, directly facing the East River with views to the south of the Williamsburg Bridge all the way north to the 59th Street Bridge! Watch the boats as they pass Roosevelt Island and the newly constructed Four Freedoms Park and beyond to the horizon where on a clear day you can see all the way to Great Neck, Long Island!! The north view from the living room affords river and stunning city views to the west. Wait until the sun goes down and watch the lights sparkle for an unbelievable night view. The FORMAL DINING ROOM has a gorgeous marble floor and a beautiful wood and marble built-in storage system with cabinets and drawers for all your dinner ware, serving pieces and table linens. The enormous St. Charles kitchen (circa 1960) has a double oven, 6 burner stove with grill, and tons of specialty cabinets and drawers. A hookup for a WASHER/DRYER is conveniently located in the laundry room near the kitchen's service entrance. A stairway from the kitchen accesses the upper floor. Completing the first floor layout is a powder room, personal elevator and 2 large closets. A grand SWEEPING STAIRWAY takes you to the upper level of this dramatic home. From the landing, turn right down the hall to the CORNER MASTER BEDROOM. As you enter, a very large bathroom is to your left. Passing down a small hallway toward the bedroom you will appreciate the wonderful built-in closets and walk-in closet. The master bedroom is filled with light from the two exposures with city and river views. Two very large built-in closets are on either side of the entrance to this lovely room.

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.
