Exquisite waterfront apartment in historic Beekman Terrace with stunning direct views of the East River. This architecturally distinguished home is a seamless combination of two apartments that were renovated to perfection, pairing the modern amenities of new construction in a timeless pre-war space. The layout is grand and loft-like, with gorgeous wood-paneled archways, captivating light, and spectacular views at every turn. The elegant corner living room with wood-burning fireplace provides an incredible vista over the river, with two expansive picture windows and views of Roosevelt Island and beyond. A beautiful built-in wet bar adds a stylish feature for entertaining, while an adjacent library provides additional seating. The dining room is immense in scale with 10 foot ceilings, has its own fireplace, and stretches into a secondary living area with an office nook. The entire room is filled with natural light thanks to two huge south facing windows with river and tree-top views. A connecting windowed kitchen with pass-through is fully equipped with top of the line appliances, crisp white cabinetry, and black quartz countertops. The bedrooms are split on either side of the apartment - an impressive primary suite with a fabulous picture window connects to an enormous dressing room/walk-in closet with washer/dryer, and a spa like en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom is just as spacious and very private with it's own hallway and an additional full bath, plus powder room. Masterfully renovated with the highest quality finishes, the apartment is also fully upgraded with all new electrical and central AC. Built in 1924, Beekman Terrace is one of the original luxury co-op's of New York, with a beautifully landscaped central courtyard, fitness center, private storage (2 units included with 5BC) and a spectacular roof deck is just two flights up from the apartment. Guarded by a gate house with 24 hour doormen, the neighborhood is also patrolled by a private security service provided by the Beekman Place Association. Pied-a-terre and pet friendly, 50% financing, and 2% flip paid by the purchaser.
