Property Description for 439 East 51st Street, MAIS347
Anchored in the north end of the secluded cul-de-sac of historic Beekman Place, 437 East 51st street offers an incredible opportunity to own a truly unique maisonette that combines the best of townhouse living with the amenities and security of a full service cooperative. Maisonette 437 is part of Beekman Mansion, the very handsome 439 East 51st Street, a 10 story, 36 unit, beige brick coop building built in 1925 overlooking the East River. This particular maisonette not only has a beautiful private arched front door to the street, but both floors have direct access to the building, lobby and basement.
Upon entering the maisonette, you feel you have entered a private house. The first floor has a large living room and dining room, featuring incredible prewar details and charm such as an exceptional wood-burning fireplace flanked by wooden bookcases and cabinets, double casement windows, and wide-plank California Redwood floors. The windowed kitchen, large closet, wine cabinet and home office/maid's room (or child's room) and bath complete the first floor.
The second floor boasts three large bedrooms with abundant closet space. The master bedroom is about 17x17 with sunny Southern exposure, two closets and a bath en suite as well as another wood-burning fireplace. The other two bedrooms share a bath, and each bedroom has two closets. In addition, there are two huge walk-in closets off the upstairs hallway. Of note, the third bedroom has its own private entrance to the building, making it an ideal guest room. The apartment also allows central air conditioning, pets and pied-a-terres.
Known as Beekman Mansion, the building offers a full time doorman, live-in super, sidewalk landscaping, and storage and laundry in the basement. Crosstown bus service is located on 50th street, and the Lexington Avenue subway has a stop on 51st Street. There are numerous restaurants and shops nearby. The coveted Beekman neighborhood is home to many who enjoy living in a uniquely quiet enclave in the heart of bustling Manhattan.

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.
