This spacious pre-war residence balances classic elegance with modern comfort. Large, graciously scaled rooms feature newly refinished hardwood floors, abundant closets, and soft natural light streaming in.
The grand entry foyer creates a refined sense of arrival and provides a natural flow between the serene bedroom wing and the expansive living and dining areas - perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or working in style. The pass-through windowed kitchen adds both function and charm, while the bathroom completes the home's sophisticated design.

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.
