420 E 51st Street #3C

This turnkey bright and beautifully renovated 2 bed, 2 bath home offers a rare combination of smart upgrades, gracious proportions, and timeless charm — all set above the quiet, tree-lined streets of Beekman Place. Completed in Fall 2023, a total gut renovation was executed with thoughtful changes to the floorplan and high-end finishes throughout. The windowed kitchen with a breakfast bar is a true highlight — flooded with natural light, storage and equipped with a Bertazzoni range, Sub-Zero refrigerator with ice maker and Fisher & Paykel dishwasher. Brand new Brazilian oak flooring runs throughout the home, complemented by wall to wall windows with an easy open/close feature, and updated HVAC systems with Bluetooth temperature control for modern comfort and ease. The layout is open and inviting, beginning with an entry foyer with abundant closet space and a proper laundry room with Miele washer/dryer leading into a spacious living room and dining alcove that feels equally suited to quiet evenings or entertaining guests. Both bedrooms face south over a charming row of landmarked townhouses, offering light, privacy, and a peaceful respite from the city. Both bedrooms are accessed via a separate den that functions beautifully as a playroom or home office. The primary bedroom includes an ensuite bathroom with walk in shower and generous sized closets. The Beekman Hill is a full-service cooperative with a 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, and recently renovated lobby and hallways (2020). Amenities include a panoramic, planted rooftop deck with sweeping city views, a fitness center, outdoor patio, updated laundry room, cold storage, and on-site parking with discounted rates for residents. Additional storage is available for rent ($50/month), and the building provides complimentary Wi-Fi and Spectrum cable service. Located in a tranquil yet central pocket of Manhattan, tucked away on a cul-de-sac, residents enjoy additional security and cleanliness via the Beekman Hill Association, easy access to transportation, vibrant restaurants, and everyday conveniences. The building welcomes pets, allows pied-à-terres, co-purchasing, and permits subletting after two years. Land lease expires in 2070
