Beginning on 49th Street and terminating on 51st Street, the coveted Beekman Place enclave is a serene, tree-lined stretch of stately prewar buildings, making one feel completely removed from the frenetic energy of the city yet placing one within short walking distance of every residential convenience. Designed by Rosario Candela and erected in 1932, 2 Beekman Place is an Art Deco masterpiece where residents enjoy 24-hour doorman and elevator operator, live-in super, bike storage, beautiful lobby, laundry room, building-wide Culligan water filtration system, landscaped and furnished roof deck with gorgeous views and complimentary WiFi, and bulk-billing reduced rates for all utilities. Up to 50% financing permitted. 

2 Beekman Place is just two blocks from the lovely Peter Detmold Park, which features a dog run and river paths for easy strolls, as well as Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, Sutton Place Park, and multiple other lovely green spaces! Transportation is a breeze with the 6 train at 51st and Lex, the E/M trains at 53rd and 3rd, the M50 crosstown bus on 50th, and the Ferry on East 46th and Lex. 2 Beekman Place has a Walk Score of 96 out of 100. This location is a Walker's Paradise, so daily errands do not require a car.

Beekman Place has long been synonymous with old money and has been home to multiple members of the Rockefeller family, Huntington Hartford (heir to the A&P supermarket fortune), Gloria Vanderbilt, Irving Berlin, Greta Garbo, Ethel Barrymore, Anne Morgan, Elisabeth Marbury, Rex Harrison, Katherine Cornell, Van Santvoord Merle-Smith, William S. Paley, Alfred Lunt, Lynne Fontanne, Mary McCarthy, and John P. Marquand amongst others.
