425 East 51 Street   Unit 4D

Overlooking neighboring brownstone gardens, this romantic one bedroom is the epitome of its exclusive Beekman Place location. The gracious layout, with entry foyer and separate bedroom wing makes it a true home. 9'2" beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, crystal glass door knobs and stripped metal doors preserve its prewar elegance. The windowed kitchen, with Leibherr refrigerator, Miele dishwasher and Bertazzoni oven/range also has a separate service entrance. The corner bedroom, with two exposures, is pin-drop quiet. The renovated, windowed bath offers a walk in shower. This hidden gem is a true respite from the city. Beekman Hill House is a boutique cooperative, with live-in superintendent, porters who accept deliveries from 8am to midnight and a nighttime neighborhood patrol. The building offers a central laundry, rear garden for residents, private storage (subject to availability) and bike room. 80% financing is permitted, as are pets and pied-a-terres; a 2% flip tax is payable by the seller. Many nearby shopping and dining options are nearby; Peter Detmold Park, with riverfront jogging path and off-leash dog run, is at the end of the block.
