Property Description for 444 East 52nd Street, 8-C

This elegant 8th floor Apartment in the distinguished 444 East 52nd Street awaits a discerning buyer like you. This Emery Roth designed building was developed in 1929 by Bing & Bing and speaks to the heart and soul of Manhattan so you can easily imagine sipping on Martinis in the grand living room. A thoughtfully designed pre-war 2 bedroom, 2 bath nestled on one of Manhattan's historic tree-lined cul-de-sac streets with a captivating view of the East River, you'll feel right at home upon entering. As you'll see from the facade, you are welcomed to a beautiful Tudor style building, and as you enter the lobby the full time doorman will greet and show you to the elevator and up to your residence.

The apartment boasts a welcoming arched entry foyer leading past the windowed kitchen and into a spacious Living Room with beamed 9 ft.+ ceilings, working wood-burning fireplace and original casement windows facing the River House. This spacious two bedroom home has two windowed baths with original details exposures north and south, and oak hardwood floors throughout the apartment. Its generously sized master bedroom offers a large windowed bath en suite with original pedestal sink.

The second bedroom, adjacent to windowed guest bath has French doors opening to the Living Room and secondary foyer and can double as a Guest Room/Office, Den or Formal Dining-Room. There are so many options to consider in making this your perfect home in one of the finest buildings in New York.

Close to public transportation, specialty food stores as well as Whole Foods, The East River promenade, and a wonderful array of restaurants and stores. Laundry and storage available on premises. In the words of former resident, Dorothy Parker "I've never been a millionaire but I just know I'd be darling at it". OR, as Dorothy Gale would say, "There's no place like home." Make this one yours.

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.
