Welcome to Apt. 3A at the iconic Southgate, a gracious prewar residence offering timeless elegance, charm, and flexibility in one of Manhattan's most coveted enclaves.
This beautifully proportioned two-bedroom, two-bathroom home features two windowed bathrooms, a windowed kitchen, and a wood-burning fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere rarely found today. With north and south exposures, the apartment enjoys wonderful natural light throughout the day and excellent cross-ventilation.
Classic prewar details blend seamlessly with modern conveniences, and the layout offers both comfort and functionality. Washer/dryers are permitted in the apartment with board approval, and a private storage unit transfers with the sale, adding exceptional value.
Southgate is a distinguished pet-friendly cooperative, designed by renowned architect Emory Roth and erected in 1930. This landmarked prewar complex is tucked away on a bucolic cul-de-sac in the exclusive Beekman/Sutton neighborhood, offering a rare sense of tranquility just moments from Midtown Manhattan.
One of Southgate's most treasured features is its lush rear terrace and garden, an idyllic retreat perfect for quiet afternoons and evenings away from the city's energy.
Please note there is a current assessment in place through July 2027, which will be paid in full by the seller at closing.
A rare opportunity to own a classic prewar home in an architecturally significant building where elegance, privacy, and location converge.
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.
