About This Property
Combining the timeless elegance of prewar architecture with the comfort and convenience of modern renovations, Residence 9C is a beautifully appointed two-bedroom, two-bathroom home offering gracious proportions, thoughtful design, and exceptional East River views.
Upon entering, you are immediately welcomed by an impressive 23-foot living room featuring oversized south-facing windows overlooking the tree-lined streets of Beekman Place and offering sweeping views of the East River. The renovated, windowed eat-in chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry and a suite of Miele appliances.
The south-facing primary bedroom enjoys beautiful East River views, a generously sized walk-in closet, and a renovated en-suite bathroom. The north-facing second bedroom is currently configured as a den/home office but can easily be adapted to serve as a guest bedroom or accommodate a variety of needs. Additional highlights include custom built-ins, a wood-burning fireplace, warm hardwood floors, an integrated Lutron lighting system with smart switches, and custom millwork. In-unit washer/dryer permitted with board approval.
Southgate is a pre-war Emory Roth building built by Bing and Bing development. This full service, white-glove cooperative is located on a private, tree-lined cul-de-sac overlooking the East River.

This building is wired for both Verizon FiOS and Spectrum. In-unit washer/dryer installations are permitted with board approval.
This coop allows Pied-à-Terre Ownership, Co-Purchasing, Guarantors, Gifting, and subletting after one year of ownership (all subject to board approval). Up to 80% financing is permitted. A 2% Flip Tax is split evenly between buyer and seller. Electricity is included in the monthly maintenance. This is a pet-friendly coop.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales LLC.
A wood-burning fireplace is one of the details the listing names specifically, and it sits in a 23-foot living room that's one of the first rooms you reach on entering. In a 1928 prewar building, a working fireplace gives the main room a focal point that the rest of the apartment is arranged around.
The living room has oversized south-facing windows over the tree-lined streets of Beekman Place, with views of the East River beyond. On the winter solstice, a south-facing window in open-horizon geometry gets about 8.5 hours of direct sun, from 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM, though nearby buildings can block some of it.
The primary bedroom also faces south, and it's the room that takes in the river views. It has a walk-in closet and a renovated bathroom attached to it. The second bedroom faces north and is set up as a den or home office now, but it can serve as a guest bedroom.
The renovated eat-in kitchen is windowed and has custom cabinetry and Miele appliances. Custom built-ins, custom millwork, warm hardwood floors and an integrated Lutron lighting system with smart switches run through the apartment.
The building has an elevator, 13 stories and 81 units, and it allows pets. Buyers can finance up to 80 percent of the purchase, and the co-op lets owners sublet after their first year, though board approval is required for that. Your monthly maintenance already covers electricity.
The Lexington Avenue and 53rd Street station, served by the 6, E and F trains, is about 9 minutes on foot. East River Walk is about 3 minutes away, so the water's close enough for a quick walk.
