Description

​

Welcome home to this triple-mint condition luxury 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom pre-war co-op on one of Manhattan's most prestigious cul-de-sacs in the Beekman neighborhood of Midtown East.  This spacious 1,200 sqft. home has been completely renovated with top of the line finishes and a seamless blend of classic and modern styles. Located on a high floor, with Northern and Southern exposure, there is a window and sunlight in every room, including the kitchen and both bathrooms.

This home is set up as a pied-a-terre for the current owners who have made it perfect for entertaining by creating flexible spaces that open by sliding walls. You enter a spacious foyer, with custom mosaic tile floor, that can serve as an intimate dining area or reception area with its built-in bar. This space opens to the oversized Living Room with wood burning fireplace, recessed lighting and custom walnut built ins. Adjacent is the second bedroom which can do double duty as a large dining space when needed, with a murphy bed, walls that slide to open it entirely to the Living Room and a sliding door to open a large pass through to the kitchen.

The windowed kitchen has been renovated with top of the line finishes and appliances. There are custom European cabinetrs, honed absolute black waterfall counters, and stainless steel professional appliances – including a Gaggenau stove, Miele dishwasher, Wolf Microwave and Subzero Refrigerator. Both bathrooms are recently gut renovated with custom vanities and built-ins to maximize every square inch of storage, marble and other natural stone tile floors and walls, and modern designer fixtures by Grohe, Axor and Kohler. And finally, the en-suite Master Bedroom is a quiet and comfortable private retreat. It is a very spacious, king-sized space with copious storage across built in zebra-wood wardrobes and a large California style closet. It’s windowed, spa-retreat bathroom is generously sized, with a luxurious rain shower.

There are gorgeous original oak hardwood floors, refinished in a dark stain, throughout the home, as well as pre-war details like high, beamed ceilings and original wrought iron divided light windows. What is decidedly non-pre-war is the overhead and recessed lighting that has been installed in every room.

444 East 52nd Street is a full service, intimate Pre-War Co-Op with 24-hr doorman & elevator attendant, and a live-in Super. Built in 1934, the building is full of character and features beautiful pre-war details. Uniquely located near the end of a tranquil cul de sac that overlooks The East River. It is close to public transportation, and a wonderful array of restaurants and shopping. Pied-a-terre and pets allowed. Sublets are not.
