Property Description for 434 East 52nd Street, 10-F

Step into the epitome of sophistication at The Southgate, an iconic pre-war residence designed by renowned architect Emory Roth in the 1920s. A celebrated Bing & Bing masterpiece, this distinguished building is steeped in history, with storied walls that have welcomed some of New York's most notable residents and cultural figures.

This sun-filled over sized one bedroom residence offers an exceptional blend of pre-war elegance, gracious proportions, and modern comfort. A welcoming foyer creates a refined separation between the expansive living room and a dedicated home office area, offering a versatile layout ideal for both entertaining and today's lifestyle.

The windowed kitchen features stainless steel appliances, classic oak cabinetry, and abundant natural light. The oversized bedroom provides exceptional storage with three large closets and is complemented by a beautifully renovated en-suite bathroom featuring a sleek stand-up shower, dual faucets, and a luxurious marble built-in bench.

A private storage unit is available with the apartment, adding to the convenience of this remarkable home.

John Lennon of The Beatles famously lived just above this very residence during his celebrated "Lost Weekend" period, while the neighboring enclave of Beekman Place has long attracted a distinguished circle of influential figures, including John D. Rockefeller, Aristotle Onassis, and Henry Kissinger, all drawn to its unparalleled privacy, architectural beauty, and timeless Old New York charm.

Set within a full-service white-glove doorman cooperative, The Southgate offers an exceptional residential experience with 24-hour staff, a live-in superintendent, onsite management, A private landscaped garden with seating that expands almost the entire city block, storage facilities, bike room, and a laundry room. Washer/dryer installations, Pied-à-terre ownership, co-purchasing, gifting, subletting (after one year of ownership), and pets are welcome subject to board approval. Up to 80% financing is permitted. There is a 2% Flip Tax that is paid by the seller. The monthly maintenance includes electricity, water, and heat. This building is wired for both Verizon FiOS and Spectrum.

Ideally located on a private, tree-lined cul-de-sac overlooking the East River, and with access (from East 53rd Street) to the newly enhanced East River Esplanade, residents enjoy a rare urban retreat featuring a dog park, dedicated walking and running paths, and a separate biking trail.

A residence where Old New York grandeur meets modern luxury, and where architecture, history, and culture continue to echo through the walls of one of Manhattan's most cherished pre-war landmarks.

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.
