Property Description for 414 East 52nd Street, 3-C
Offering generous proportions, prewar character, and the freedom to adapt to a variety of lifestyles, Residence 3CD is a distinctive home within Southgate.
Created from the combination of two residences, this expansive home is currently arranged with two bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a formal entry foyer, and a dedicated dining area. Hardwood floors run throughout, while a wood-burning fireplace, classic wainscoting, and thoughtful architectural details preserve the warmth and character of its prewar origins. An in-unit washer and dryer adds modern-day convenience.
The most impressive space is the oversized living room and adjoining study, filled with natural light and offering an unusual degree of flexibility. Generous enough to accommodate multiple seating and entertaining areas, it can remain as one dramatic open space or be divided to suit changing needs. The original third-bedroom configuration can also be restored with ease. Tucked discreetly behind a custom bookcase is a full bathroom-an unexpected detail that makes the space particularly well suited for use as a guest suite, private office, or additional bedroom.
The two existing bedrooms are thoughtfully separated for privacy, while three full bathrooms and abundant closet space make the layout as practical as it is spacious.
With its flexible floor plan, impressive scale, and enduring prewar details, Residence 3CD offers the opportunity to create a home tailored to the way you live.
