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

Presenting an exceptional opportunity to create a truly bespoke trophy residence at The Southgate, the iconic Bing & Bing cooperative designed by renowned architect Emery Roth. Combining residences 10E and 10F offers the opportunity to create an expansive approximately 2,236+ square foot home featuring three bedrooms, three bathrooms, gracious entertaining spaces, and timeless pre-war architecture.

From the moment you enter, a grand gallery welcomes you into a residence thoughtfully designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living. At its heart is a spectacular double height sunken living room, where soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and a magnificent wood burning fireplace create one of the home's most memorable spaces. Custom arched built-ins extending toward the ceiling, complemented by a movable library ladder and beautiful Art Deco sconces, showcase the architectural craftsmanship that defines this remarkable residence.

Flowing seamlessly from the living room is an expansive formal dining room capable of hosting intimate dinners or large gatherings with ease. Adjacent is a beautifully designed chef's kitchen with a generous center island, abundant custom cabinetry, premium appliances, and exceptional workspace, creating a natural gathering place.

The intelligently designed layout provides an ideal balance between entertaining and private living. The luxurious primary suite serves as its own private retreat with an elegant en suite bath. Two additional oversized bedrooms, each positioned for privacy, are further complemented by a spacious dressing area, closet, and two additional full bathrooms. Offering additional flexibility for guests, family members, or dedicated home office space.

The floor plan also incorporates a dedicated laundry room, generous closet space throughout, and an inviting gallery hallway that enhances the home's gracious flow while maximizing separation between the entertaining and bedroom wings.

Steeped in New York history, John Lennon famously lived just above this residence during his celebrated Lost Weekend period. The surrounding enclave of Beekman Place has long attracted an extraordinary collection of notable residents, including John D. Rockefeller and Aristotle Onassis, all drawn to its timeless architecture, privacy, and enduring elegance.

The Southgate remains one of Manhattan's most distinguished full-service cooperatives, offering white glove service with a 24-hour doorman, live in superintendent, beautifully landscaped private garden, storage units, and central laundry facilities. Washer and dryer installations, Pied à terre ownership, co-purchasing, guarantors, and pets are welcome subject to board approval.

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.
