1 Beekman Place, 15-A

LEGENDARY LAYOUT - COVETED LINE - MAJESTIC VIEWS - WORLD-CLASS ADDRESS

Majestic views envelop this high-floor home, making its already expansive layout all the more grand, gorgeous, and breathtaking. Since the Rockefeller family backed the creation of this superb building in 1929, this particular residence has been celebrated and prized for its trophy position, its glorious plan, and its world class views.

When the elevator attendant ushers you to your private landing high atop 1 Beekman's special South Wing, you enter one of Manhattan's more treasured homes. The ball-room scaled living room, with its signature pair of French doors onto twin Juliet balconies, its working fireplace, and its five, over-scaled, picture windows featuring open river and skyline exposures East, South, and North is a rarity -- rarified views from a perch with a rarified scale at a very special address. A center hall graciously bridges the grand living room to the large, bright, corner dining room. With more of this spacious home's prime river and city vistas, the dining room is impressive in size and comfort. Served by a butler's pantry and a well-planned, windowed, chef's kitchen (with top-shelf appliances including two dishwashers), entertaining here is elegant and easy.

With sweeping East River views and a magnificent scale, the primary bedroom suite is quite separate from the rest of this smartly planned residence. Its large dressing area, walk-in closet, jewelry closet, and en suite bathroom (with dual sinks, separate shower and soaking bath) create a masterful retreat, indeed. A 42-foot long, set-back planting terrace offers sun-filled Southern river and city views to all of the rooms it graces. The library, with its handsome built-in bookshelves and hidden wet bar, enjoys access to the terrace and Southern sunshine. Two well-scaled guest bedrooms (one with terrace access) are served by their own sizable, windowed bath. Rounding out this classic residence is a heart-warming breakfast room off of the kitchen, a full staff room and bath, a windowed laundry room (with washing sink and wine fridge), impressive closets/storage, central and through-wall air conditioning, sound system, and hard-wood floors throughout.

Life at 1 Beekman is refined, elegant, and easy. Revered as the gold standard for all Manhattan cooperatives, the building is renowned for its stupendous position overlooking the East River, not to mention its famous services and amenities. Respected and well-regarded for generations, 1 Beekman residents enjoy the privacy and discretion of their storied address, and a suite of amenities worthy thereof. Complementing the seasoned and attentive staff, there are an abundance of conveniences that make life here richer, easier, and better: Resident building manager; round-the-clock door, lobby, and elevator attendants; in-house garage; fitness facility; basketball court; swimming pool; event rooms; manicured and magnificent, riverfront gardens; resident lounge; catering kitchen; and a golf simulator. With prime access to every area cultural, shopping, and dining destination, this rare and resplendent home benefits from a compelling, bespoke location, a remarkable layout, and trophy views that will enchant and inspire for a lifetime.
