The spacious foyer offers 2 large closets and opens onto the large Living Room with a wood-burning fireplace. There is a wall of windows on one side of the living room where light pours into the room. It affords ample space for entertaining, yet on a cold winter's night with fireplace blazing, it transforms into a cozy space for relaxation.
The large, windowed eat-in Kitchen is entered through a doorway just off the foyer. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, washer/dryer hook-up, and plenty of room for storage. The kitchen easily accommodates a table and chairs for dining.
The Primary Bedroom is adjacent to the living room, and includes 2 large closets and a windowed en suite bath; it is flooded with the same bright light as the living room.. The spacious second bedroom, with light streaming in from the south, also has a windowed en-suite bath.

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.
