Property Description for 434 East 52nd Street, 6-AB

Timeless Prewar Elegance in the Fabled Southgate

A rare opportunity to own a piece of Manhattan's architectural history! Designed by renowned architect Emery Roth and built by Bing & Bing in 1931, this gracious two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence at 434 East 52nd Street embodies the enduring elegance and unmistakable charm of classic prewar New York.

Spacious and inviting, Apartment 6AB features two working wood-burning fireplaces-one in the living room and another in the primary bedroom-creating an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication that is increasingly difficult to find. With desirable southern and eastern exposures, natural light streams into the apartment throughout the day, while the second bedroom enjoys a lovely glimpse of the East River.

Located within the celebrated Southgate complex, this distinguished residence offers the convenience of a live-in resident manager, a 24-hour doorman, and a beautiful communal garden-a tranquil, landscaped retreat from the bustle of Manhattan.

An especially appealing feature is the included private storage unit, which transfers with the apartment at no additional monthly cost.

Southgate is a classic New York cooperative, prized for its architectural heritage, gracious living, and peaceful setting.

Please note: A monthly assessment of $450.45 for capital improvements is in place through July 2027. The purchaser is responsible for the 2% flip tax.

A wonderful opportunity to experience the romance of prewar New York, where architectural distinction, gracious proportions, and the timeless appeal of two wood-burning fireplaces come together in one exceptional home.

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.
