Gracious seven-room home with river views and flexible layout

Located in a distinguished prewar cooperative in prestigious Beekman Place, Apartment 7B is a seven-room home offering East River views, timeless architectural details, and exceptional versatility. The layout is currently configured as two bedrooms plus library, home office, and two bathrooms, offering the flexibility to function as three bedrooms with home office and two bathrooms. An inviting foyer and gallery with a curved entrance sets a gracious tone, leading into an oversized living room measuring over fourteen feet by twenty-five feet. South-facing windows fill the space with light and showcase views of tree-lined Beekman Place and the East River. A wood-burning fireplace with antique hand-carved mantel, and original herringbone hardwood floors add character and warmth. The formal dining room easily accommodates a table for ten yet remains comfortable for intimate dinners. Handsome mahogany built-ins provide display space for china and glassware. The windowed kitchen has room for a breakfast table or center island and includes deep storage for larger or seasonal items. The primary bedroom is generously proportioned with two walk-in closets and a private en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom features a wall of closets and easy access to the second bathroom, which also serves the library or third bedroom. The home office is thoughtfully designed with mahogany built-ins and a Murphy bed, offering both productivity and guest accommodations.

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the exclusive Beekman Place enclave, 439 East Fifty-First Street enjoys a uniquely peaceful setting adjacent to Peter Detmold Park - a hidden waterfront retreat featuring a gazebo, game tables, and one of Manhattan's most cherished off-leash dog runs. Just a few blocks north, the new East Midtown Greenway begins at East Fifty-Sixth Street connecting the neighborhood to a scenic stretch of riverfront path extending to East Sixty-First Street. Despite its tranquil almost tucked-away feel, the building is just steps from daily conveniences - including neighborhood restaurants, cafes, dry cleaners, grocery stores, and excellent bus service in all directions with lines running east and west on Forty-Ninth and Fiftieth Streets and north and south along First Avenue and Second Avenue.
