Property Description for 425 East 51st Street, 2-D

A gracious one-bedroom at Beekman Hill House combines the character of a prewar apartment with a restrained, highly considered renovation. This architect-designed residence is distinguished by thoughtful detailing, carefully selected materials, and the preservation of period elements.

The generous living room retains its beamed ceiling and original proportions, with distinctive black-stained floors that give the space a crisp, graphic character and ample room for both living and dining. White simulated-stone window sills throughout add a refined material detail. The separate windowed kitchen features Carrara marble countertops and is equipped with a Bertazzoni gas range and a brand-new Blomberg stainless-steel refrigerator.

The large bedroom has two exposures and comfortably accommodates a king-size bed, with additional space for a desk or seating area. Generous closet space throughout the apartment provides excellent storage.

The windowed bathroom has been carefully restored. The original tilework, bathtub, and sink were completely refinished in summer 2026, preserving the original porcelain fixtures. The result retains the character of the apartment while feeling fresh and clean.

The apartment also offers the option to add through-wall air conditioning under the building's recently adopted policy, subject to the standard approval process.

Beekman Hill House is a well-maintained, pet-friendly prewar cooperative with a full-time live-in superintendent and porters on duty from 8 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week, who accept packages and deliveries. Amenities include a renovated central laundry room, storage units for rent, a bike room, and a newly landscaped private residents' garden completed in summer 2026.

The building is on a quiet, tree-lined street in the Beekman Place neighborhood, which has a private security patrol. Peter Detmold Park and its dog run are just steps away, as is the East River waterfront, creating a peaceful residential setting with easy access to Midtown.

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.
