MAJESTIC RIVER VIEWS…
A WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE...
A SECRET GARDEN...
ON A SECRET CUL-DE-SAC…
JUST BEYOND A SECRET GATE...
UPGRADED CLASSIC - SOULFUL 2BR
Supremely situated in the famously private and well served Beekman Terrace (a handsome 1924 building coveted for its discreet riverfront location on a quiet cul-de-sac), this direct river-view, East-facing, sun-splashed stunner is a fantastic find. Its heartwarming upgrades are smart, stylish, and timeless -- creating a home that is comfortable, bright, and beautiful.
With its signature river frontage from both the sizable living room and the dining area, this handsome, big-view residence is a dramatic stand out. The living room offers a wood-burning fireplace flanked by attractive built-ins. The window seat offers world-class, postcard perfect vistas of the East River and big sky views Eastward. The open-flow dining area also enjoys a sunshiny showcase of the river, and is right off of the attractive and practical kitchen (with stone counters, ample cabinets, and good appliances -- including a dishwasher).
The primary bedroom is peaceful and bright, with big windows and good closets. The secondary bedroom -- with its French doors featuring more of this home's signature river views -- is sweetly scaled. A natural guest room, den, or office, this bonus bedroom is well suited for all of life's evolving needs. The sizable windowed bath is classically appointed and offers a soaking tub (with shower).
A welcoming gallery hall, high ceilings, custom-milled built-ins, herringbone oak floors, and bonus storage spaces round out this mindfully designed, smartly executed classic home — making this well-scaled beauty a stand-out for all the best reasons.
Pristinely positioned on the top floor, along Beekman Terrace's treasured Eastern side, here is your coveted front row seat to the nautical beauty of the East River, with enviable, one-flight-up proximity to the building's cherished, river-view roof deck. Pet friendly, this resplendent residence offers private storage, and easy access to the building's fitness and laundry rooms. Within a stone's throw are the East River Promenade, the E/F/M trains, and prime convenience to every area cultural, dining, and shopping destination -- not to mention the benefits of a very smart neighborhood association and private security.
Here is one of the best kept secrets in Manhattan: Your secret sunshiny, river-view stunner...by a secret garden...on a secret cul-de-sac...just beyond a secret gate...awaits.
