Property Description for 414 East 52nd Street, 2-A

Designed by Emery Roth in 1931, The Southgate is one of Sutton Place's most iconic and beloved prewar landmarks. Located on a tranquil, tree-lined cul-de-sac shared with the famed River House, this exclusive enclave offers timeless architecture and gracious layouts that feel both oversized and elegant.

Enter through a spacious foyer that opens into a dramatic dining gallery, featuring custom built-in bookshelves and a deep-set windows framing charming treetop views. A custom banquette enhances the functionality of the space, making it ideal for everything from quiet mornings to lively dinner parties.

The expansive living room stretches over 23 feet and is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. Beamed ceilings and rich hardwood floors throughout the apartment highlight its authentic prewar character, while oversized windows flood the space with natural light.

The home has been thoughtfully renovated to balance form and function. The chef's kitchen is tucked behind classic swinging butler doors, providing both privacy and a seamless connection to the dining space. Inside, you'll find floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops, and top-of-the-line Stainless Steel appliances including a 36-inch range with built-in grill, dishwasher, and refrigerator. Italian-imported ceramic tile flooring adds style and durability, and from the kitchen sink, you'll enjoy a peaceful view overlooking Southgate's private communal garden.

The king-sized primary suite is a true sanctuary, with a beautifully renovated ensuite bath that includes a Duravit sink and a walk-in Toto monsoon shower. A spacious walk-in closet-formerly a dressing room-can easily double as a private home office or vanity area.

The second bedroom is equally generous, well-proportioned with ample room for lounging or workspace, and complemented by exceptional closet space. In total, the apartment offers four walk-in closets and an abundance of additional storage.

80% financing is permitted. Pied- -terre ownership is allowed. The building is pet-friendly. There is a 2% flip tax paid by the buyer. Electricity included in maintenance. There is currently an assessment in effect in the amount of $450/month that ends on Jul 27, 2025

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.
