Perched on the 9th floor of this pre-war, white-glove cooperative, the residence boasts unobstructed views to the South, East and West, and encompasses nearly 3000 square feet of flexible living space.
One exits the attended elevator onto the apartment's own landing, providing optimum privacy. The entrance gallery, complete with powder room and coat closet, leads to an expansive living room bathed in southern light, with a wood-burning fireplace and dramatic, sweeping views of the river.
From the living room one enters the dining room and generous library/bedroom, which both have enormous windows that frame scenes of the river and skyline.
Wrapped in water views, the master bedroom occupies the northeast corner of the residence, evoking the illusion of floating above the river.
An additional bedroom is located in the northwest corner of the residence.
The flexible layout of this full floor apartment presents the opportunity and space to create a magnificent custom residence, within one of the most iconic buildings in 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.
