Property Description for 439 East 51st Street, 3-D
Serenity in the City - at an Exceptional Value
A timeless two-bedroom sanctuary in Beekman Mansion, offering prewar charm, quiet elegance, and one of the best price points in Manhattan's most discreet enclave. This true two-bedroom home is a peaceful retreat with three exposures, lovely natural light, and the inviting aesthetic of a decorative fireplace. Classic details - high ceilings, solid oak floors, and freshly refurbished walls and trim - create an atmosphere of refined calm, ideal for those seeking space and serenity amid the city's hum.
The living room's fireplace anchors the home, surrounded by original moldings and graceful proportions perfect for entertaining or unwinding in comfort. Both bedrooms are well-sized, and the windowed kitchen and bath retain their prewar character, offering an elegant canvas for your own vision.
Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac at the north end of Beekman Place, 439 East 51st Street enjoys a uniquely serene setting adjacent to Peter Detmold Park, a hidden waterfront haven with a gazebo, game tables, and one of Manhattan's most cherished off-leash dog runs. Just a few blocks north, the new East Midtown Greenway extends the neighborhood's tranquil rhythm with a scenic riverfront path leading up to East 61st Street. Despite its tucked-away feel, daily conveniences abound - from cafés and dry cleaners to excellent cross-town and uptown transit along 49th, 50th, First, and Second Avenues.
An impeccably run prewar cooperative, Beekman Mansion offers white-glove service including a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, fitness room, central laundry, and private storage (when available). Mail is hand-delivered daily, and pets, pied-à-terres, and up to 80 % financing are welcome. A 2 % flip tax is paid by the seller.
Quiet sophistication, architectural grace, and enduring value - welcome home to Beekman Mansion, where serenity still has an address.

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.
