Property Description for 860 United Nations Plaza, 25-B

Residence 25B — A Masterpiece in the Sky at 860 United Nations Plaza. Redefining Manhattan luxury, Residence 25B is a flawlessly reimagined 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath cooperative boasting over 2,200 square feet at the iconic 860 United Nations Plaza. Conceived by the renowned architects Harrison & Abramovitz, this legendary address remains a global symbol of refinement, discretion, and prestige. Soaring above the East River, this corner residence is encased in floor-to-ceiling glass, capturing breathtaking, uninterrupted panoramas of the river, skyline, and city beyond. Every inch of the home has been meticulously redesigned with uncompromising craftsmanship, modern sophistication, and luxurious detail. A stately entrance gallery sets the stage, unfolding into a grand living room bathed in natural light and framed by mesmerizing river vistas—a dramatic setting suited for lavish entertaining or quiet daily living. The adjacent formal dining room, equally gracious, flows seamlessly into the custom eat-in chef’s kitchen. Outfitted with Sub-Zero, Miele, and Dacor appliances, a Bisazza tile backsplash, and striking Dekton countertops, this culinary haven features abundant cabinetry, a large pantry, and a sunlit breakfast area perfectly positioned to overlook the East River. For connoisseurs, a discreet wine fridge and bar area—easily convertible into a full wet bar—enhance the entertaining experience. The serene primary suite is a sanctuary of luxury, complete with three custom closets, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a spa-inspired bath adorned with multicolored ocean glass tiles, a dual vanity, and indulgent fixtures. A washer/dryer is conveniently located within the suite. A thoughtful split-bedroom layout ensures privacy, with two additional bedrooms—each featuring an en suite bath and generous closet space—set apart from the primary wing. Enhancing the modern lifestyle, the home is equipped with smart features including motorized shades throughout and a Nest climate control system. A beautifully appointed powder room off the entry completes the residence. 860 United Nations Plaza offers an unparalleled level of service and amenities befitting its reputation as one of Manhattan’s most distinguished cooperatives. A private, gated driveway ushers residents into a magnificent triple-height lobby staffed by 24-hour doormen, concierge, and valet.

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.
