Property Description

Perched atop the north east corner of prestigious Beekman Mansion is "Clouds"; a tastefully renovated five-bedroom duplex penthouse with an expansive terrace affording panoramic river views and an abundance of natural light. From your semi-private landing you enter the apartment to a gracious foyer. Off the foyer you will immediately notice the formal dining room, elegantly framed by pocket doors. The expansive east facing living room has a WBFP and is ablaze with light while offering exquisite direct river views. The corner study, with en-suite bath, is tucked away off the living room offering an owner the flexibility to create an additional (fifth) bedroom or guest suite. The renovated eat-in-kitchen is cheerful and bright with two oversized windows and has a large central island with seating for 3. It has top of the line appliances and a hood that vents to the outside. The adjacent butler's pantry is replete with storage and perfectly complements the kitchen. Two bedrooms, each with ample closet space, a shared windowed bath, and vented W/D complete this level. Ascending the stairs is a large landing with dry bar that leads to an expansive wrap around terrace, ideal for entertaining. The corner master suite, with windowed en-suite bath, has a wall of storage and French doors leading to the terrace. The forth bedroom and windowed hall bath are also found on this level as well as a second entrance to the apartment offering the opportunity to access either floor directly from the elevator. Additionally there is a separately deeded maids quarters in the building that can be purchased with the apartment.

439 East 51st Street (Beekman Mansion) is a luxurious pied-a-terre and pet friendly pre-war cooperative with 24 hour doorman, live-in super, storage and laundry rooms. Located on a charming cul-de-sac at the entrance of Peter Detmold Park (where one of the best dog parks can be found), you are just moments away from the shopping, transportation (E, M, 6, N, R, W trains), restaurants and nightlife Beekman has to offer. This is an excellent value in a wonderful and prestigious location.
