345 East 50th Street, 3-C

The East 50's have been an enclave of wealth and elegance since the early 1900's. In 2007 the architect Adam Kushner converted two Beekman district brownstones to the unique and graceful M at Beekman. He combined 21st century living with the historic facades of traditional Beekman houses.

This one bedroom duplex has all the amenities of modern living with an open kitchen boasting local Ashfield stone countertops, Bosch oven and cooktop, Marvel wine cooler, Subzero refrigerator, Fisher and Paykel double drawer dishwasher, LG microwave/toaster and Miele in-wall coffee/ expresso machine, steam oven and washer/dryer. The white oak cabinets and glass tile backsplash add to the fresh clean line.

The open kitchen and dining area have a view north of the charming dining balcony and the garden beyond. Eleven foot ceilings enhance the space and feeling of openness in the 21 x 18 LR. A half bath and coat closet complete the first floor open loft space.

Ascending the stairs you walk into a majestic master bedroom suite with a large custom built walk-in closet, a utility closet with plenty of storage space and a washer/dryer closet conveniently situated adjacent to the master bath. The bedroom is large enough to accommodate a study/office area with desk, cabinets and files. The spa-like master bath has glass tiles, steam shower, deep tub and radiant heat floor. There is a 2nd outdoor space on this floor with peaceful garden views. The entire apartment faces north which embraces quiet living.
