About This Property
A rare opportunity to own a spectacular residence with private outdoor space at The Grand Beekman. This exceptional 1,812-square-foot condominium offers 10-foot ceilings, two bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths (the powder room can easily convert back to a full third bathroom), a generous formal den, plus 190 square feet of private outdoor space - an especially coveted feature found in only a handful of residences in the building.
Currently configured as a two-bedroom, the flexible layout can easily accommodate a third bedroom or a dedicated formal dining room. The sun-filled living room features a distinctive northwest-facing bay window and opens directly onto the expansive terrace, creating an ideal setting for morning coffee, al fresco dining, entertaining, or relaxing above the city.
The newly renovated, windowed kitchen is a delight for cooking. It features extensive cabinetry, a caesarstone countertop and backsplash, high-end appliances, including a Kraus oversized sink, Kitchen Aid dishwasher, Viking refrigerator/freezer and stove range, a GE microwave, as well as a washer and dryer. The adjacent den is lined with beautiful custom built-ins including an entertainment center with a conducive sound system. Both the kitchen and den are enclosed by sleek modern rain-glass doors, offering privacy while maintaining an open, contemporary feel.
The spacious primary bedroom suite features an entry hall with abundant closet space and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with radiant heated floors, a new vanity top, separate shower, and soaking tub. The equally generous second bedroom features floor-to-ceiling windows that invite abundant natural light throughout the day, creating a bright and serene retreat. Both bedrooms feature floor-to-ceiling French doors opening onto a quiet, picturesque block in the heart of the Beekman neighborhood.
All three bathrooms have been tastefully upgraded with elegant marble and tile finishes, creating a sophisticated and cohesive aesthetic throughout the home.
Designed by renowned architect Costas Kondylis and completed in 2003, The Grand Beekman is a full-service condominium that captures the refined character of one of Manhattan's most tranquil and exclusive residential neighborhoods while remaining just moments from Midtown, and near Marcus-Wells Team neighborhood favorites such as Ideal Cheese Shop, The Greats of Craft and Bistro Vendome. Residents enjoy a 24-hour doorman and concierge, duplex fitness center, playroom, residents' lounge, garden room, and attentive 24-hour staff. The building is pet-friendly and investor-friendly.
With its rare private terrace, generous proportions, flexible layout, and full-service condominium amenities, Residence 9A offers a distinctive opportunity to enjoy sophisticated indoor-outdoor living in one of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods. There is a capital improvement assessment of $1,090.13 ending in March 2027 and another for $114.04.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.
The 190-square-foot terrace opens directly off the living room, so morning coffee, a meal outside or a drink after work doesn't require leaving the apartment for the air. The living room has a northwest-facing bay window, and nearby buildings can block that light, so it's worth seeing the space at the hour you'd use it most.
I like how flexible the layout is. It's set up as two bedrooms, but the listing notes it can take a third bedroom or a formal dining room. The den has custom built-ins with an entertainment center, and rain-glass doors close off the kitchen and den for privacy without losing the open feel.
The kitchen is newly renovated and has a window, a Caesarstone countertop and backsplash, a Viking refrigerator and freezer, a Viking stove range, a Kitchen Aid dishwasher, and a Kraus oversized sink. A washer and dryer are in the unit too, so laundry stays at home.
At 1,812 square feet with 10-foot ceilings, the rooms have room to spread out, and high ceilings give furniture more flexibility. The primary suite has an entry hall with plenty of closet space and an en-suite bath with radiant heated floors, a separate shower and a soaking tub. The second bedroom has floor-to-ceiling windows, and both bedrooms have French doors that open onto the block.
The building was designed by Costas Kondylis and completed in 2003. It has a concierge, an elevator, a courtyard, a roof deck, a sauna, a children's playroom and a bike room, and pets are allowed. The Lexington Av/53 St station for the 6, E and F is about 8 minutes on foot, and East River Walk is about 5 minutes away. Ideal Cheese Shop is about 1 minute on foot, and Morton Williams is about 5 minutes.
