Property Description

Serenity in the City - at an Exceptional Value

A timeless two-bedroom sanctuary in Beekman Mansion, offering prewar charm, quiet elegance, and one of the best price points in Manhattan's most discreet enclave. This true two-bedroom home is a peaceful retreat with three exposures, lovely natural light, and the inviting aesthetic of a decorative fireplace. Classic details - high ceilings, solid oak floors, and freshly refurbished walls and trim - create an atmosphere of refined calm, ideal for those seeking space and serenity amid the city's hum.

The living room's fireplace anchors the home, surrounded by original moldings and graceful proportions perfect for entertaining or unwinding in comfort. Both bedrooms are well-sized, and the windowed kitchen and bath retain their prewar character, offering an elegant canvas for your own vision.

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac at the north end of Beekman Place, 439 East 51st Street enjoys a uniquely serene setting adjacent to Peter Detmold Park, a hidden waterfront haven with a gazebo, game tables, and one of Manhattan's most cherished off-leash dog runs. Just a few blocks north, the new East Midtown Greenway extends the neighborhood's tranquil rhythm with a scenic riverfront path leading up to East 61st Street. Despite its tucked-away feel, daily conveniences abound - from cafés and dry cleaners to excellent cross-town and uptown transit along 49th, 50th, First, and Second Avenues.

An impeccably run prewar cooperative, Beekman Mansion offers white-glove service including a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, fitness room, central laundry, and private storage (when available). Mail is hand-delivered daily, and pets, pied-à-terres, and up to 80 % financing are welcome. A 2 % flip tax is paid by the seller.

Quiet sophistication, architectural grace, and enduring value - welcome home to Beekman Mansion, where serenity still has an address.
