455 East 51 Street   Unit 5DE

This spacious and renovated three bedroom, two bath pre-war cooperative oozes charm and sophistication. Nestled in the enclave of Beekman Place, Beekman Terrace is one of the most unique buildings in New York. Built in 1925 in the Venetian Palace structure with gardens separating two wings, the architecture was designed to allow for optimal light and views from every apartment.
The entry gallery opens to an inviting corner living room where light streams through the two oversized windows facing south and east over the river. Thoughtful details abound including gorgeous herringbone floors, beautiful architectural moldings, a woodburning fireplace, 10' ceilings (the highest in the building), and custom built-ins. Adjacent to the Living Room are the sizable Formal Dining Room with a second woodburning fireplace and handsome built-in storage, and adjoining Kitchen, very nicely outfitted with Viking range and double oven, Sub Zero refrigerator, and Miele washer and dryer. Lovely custom cabinets provide abundant storage.
There are three nicely sized bedrooms, with the Master Bedroom and attractive en suite bath located on the southern side of the apartment facing west, and the two secondary bedrooms facing north and sharing an attractive bathroom.
The apartment is equipped with central air conditioning, a Crestron lighting system, and abundant storage.
Beekman Terrace offers a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, gym, basement storage, laundry, a pretty courtyard entry, and an incredible roof deck facing south and east. 50% financing is permitted, as are pets and pied-a-terre.
