Property Description for 455 East 51st Street, 3-F

Welcome to 3F at Beekman Terrace, a boutique doorman coop that surrounds lovely gardens and allows for a magical entrance. This spacious two bedroom, two bath beauty can easily convert into a generous three bedroom home. This spacious living room has picture windows to the south and east, allowing in gorgeous sunlight and a fantastic view of the East River and downtown Manhattan. There is a bonus of a woodburning fireplace that can be reopened to add to the charm of this prewar gem. The windowed kitchen has a Sub Zero refrigerator, LG stove and Kitchen Aid dishwasher.

The current second bedroom is off the entrance foyer and has a built in desk and faces the back of the building for complete quiet. There is a second full bath to service this bedroom and could also serve as the powder room. Your architect can show how it would be very easy to add a third bedroom.

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.
