UNDERSTATED ELEGANCE
Gracefully situated in one of Manhattan’s most charming leafy cul-de-sacs, this newly renovated home is a refreshing nod to another era enhanced by a full restoration of original details with all new electrical and plumbing infrastructure.
A welcoming entry foyer ushers you into an elegant and beautifully proportioned living room anchored by a working wood-burning fireplace and enhanced by a wall of Tudor-style casement windows. Lovely natural light fills this serenely calm living space where you will comfortably gather with friends and family for spirted dinner parties and conversation around the glow of a fire on cold winter evenings.
Meal prep is a pleasure in this newly renovated kitchen complete with ample white cabinetry enhanced by a pretty ceramic tile backsplash and quartz countertops, all new appliances and breakfast bar.
Retire to the Primary bedroom suite where you can unwind with a restorative bath in your deep soaking tub. The bathroom has been tastefully renovated and offers radiant heat beneath marble floors.
The second bedroom is also quite generous and has convenient access to the main bathroom, which is also fully renovated with new plumbing, radiant heated floors and a stall shower.
Extensive renovations include upgraded electric and plumbing, skim-coated walls, and refurbished hardwood floors. Other notable features are high beamed ceilings, sleeve air conditioning, generous closets, wall sconces, radiator covers and a private storage unit that conveys with the sale for just $20 monthly.
Built Circa 1929 and designed by De Pace & Juster, the stately Tudor and Gothic 13-story 444 East 52 sits quietly on an East River cul-de-sac in the prestigious Beekman enclave. Enter the ornate, romantic lobby and step back in time. It is no surprise that notable artists, writers, politicians and journalists of the day once called this home.
The building offers a caring staff including a full-time doorman and resident property manager. There is central laundry and private storage. The building also permits pets and pied a terres. Call today for a private look at this irresistibly charming home.
