About This Property
Sun-Filled Prewar Elegance in Beekman Place
Nestled on a picturesque, tree-lined block in the heart of Beekman Place, Residence 7C at 425 East 51st Street offers a beautiful blend of timeless prewar charm and modern comfort. Located in the boutique Beekman Hill House, this spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom home enjoys desirable southern exposure, generous proportions, and an abundance of natural light.
A gracious entry foyer leads into an expansive, sun-filled living room featuring high beamed ceilings, elegant crown moldings, plantation shutters, and beautifully preserved architectural details. With its inviting atmosphere and generous layout, the living space is equally suited for everyday comfort and effortless entertaining.
Both bedrooms are exceptionally spacious and feature their own en-suite bathrooms. The primary suite comfortably accommodates a king-size bed and additional furnishings, complemented by a windowed dressing area with custom built-ins, a dedicated vanity, and ample closet space. The windowed primary bathroom retains its classic prewar character with a charming clawfoot soaking tub, wainscoting, and a vessel sink.
The generously proportioned second bedroom offers exceptional versatility, with ample space for a king-size bed and additional furnishings, making it equally well suited as a guest suite, children's bedroom, or home office.
The beautifully appointed, windowed eat-in kitchen combines style and functionality, featuring custom Poggenpohl cabinetry, Brazilian granite countertops, a generous breakfast bar, and premium appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele wall oven, cooktop, and fully integrated dishwasher. Its open design creates a seamless connection to the main living space, ideal for both casual dining and entertaining.
Additional highlights include windows in every room, excellent closet space, and charming prewar details throughout.
The Beekman Hill House is a pet-friendly boutique cooperative offering a part-time doorman (8 AM to midnight), live-in superintendent, 24-hour camera security, a beautifully landscaped garden and patio, renovated laundry facilities, bicycle and luggage storage, and additional basement storage, subject to availability. The building also benefits from a private neighborhood security patrol.
Ideally positioned just moments from Peter Detmold Park and the East River waterfront promenade, residents enjoy the tranquility of Beekman Place while remaining close to Midtown's restaurants, shopping, and transportation.
A wonderful opportunity to enjoy gracious prewar living in one of Manhattan's most charming and peaceful residential neighborhoods.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
Both bedrooms at 425 East 51st Street have their own en-suite bathrooms, and the primary bath keeps a clawfoot soaking tub, wainscoting and a vessel sink. In a 1,200 square foot two-bedroom, that layout means guests and the primary suite don't have to share a bathroom, which I'd count as a practical advantage.
The apartment faces south, and the sun figures for that direction are useful here. Direct sun through south-facing windows runs from about 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM at the winter solstice, roughly 8.5 hours, and from about 9:55 AM to 4:01 PM at the summer solstice, roughly 6.1 hours. Nearby buildings can block that, so read the times as an open-horizon estimate.
The eat-in kitchen is windowed and has custom Poggenpohl cabinetry, Brazilian granite countertops and a generous breakfast bar. It includes a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Miele wall oven, a cooktop and a fully integrated dishwasher. The open connection to the living room means cooking and entertaining share the same space.
The Beekman Hill House is a pet-friendly co-op with a part-time doorman from 8 AM to midnight, a live-in superintendent and an elevator. Laundry is in the building, along with bicycle and luggage storage, a courtyard and a garden. The home has hardwood floors and wall air conditioning units.
The East River Walk is about four minutes on foot, and the Lexington Av/53 St station, served by the 6, E and F trains, is about eight minutes away. Two Morton Williams supermarkets are about six and seven minutes away on foot, and Whole Foods Market is about nine minutes away on foot.
