FACING A SECRET GARDEN...
ON A SECRET CUL-DE-SAC…
JUST BEYOND A SECRET GATE...
SOULFUL 3 BEDROOM w/2 WORKING FIREPLACES & FULL DINING ROOM
Sweetly situated in the famously private and well served Beekman Terrace (a handsome 1924 building coveted for its discreet riverfront location off of a quiet cul-de-sac), this grandly intimate residence is a fantastic find. Unfolding like a sweet cottage, this home's timeless touches make it a wonderful classic.
With three comfy bedrooms and two windowed bathrooms -- plus a formal living room and full dining room (both with respective wood-burning fireplaces), this lovable corner residence is ideal for both entertaining and quiet relaxing. There is a home office, a balcony off of the dining room, a reading area, and a lovely gallery hall, there are a plethora of spaces for life's big and intimate moments.
The foyer is naturally lit by the nearby home office, and has a cedar-lined coat closet. The living room is graced by its working fireplace and picturesque garden and river views. The formal dining room enjoys another wood-burning fireplace, and its new French doors offer direct access to a private balcony. Served by a well-appointed kitchen with Subzero fridge, a new oven, and a clever dining banquette, meals here can easily be a grand or a low-key affair.
The primary bedroom has impressive cedar-lined closets, and is served by a windowed bath. Once featured in Architectural Digest, the secondary bedroom offers crown moldings, and custom shelving and cabinetry created by the former owner of this home, Peter Marino. On the other side of this home is a wonderfully private guest bedroom suite, served by its own windowed bath (with a washer/dryer).
Quietly positioned along Beekman Terrace's prized Southern side — with an enchanting peek at the nautical beauty of the East River, and bird’s eye views of the enchanting "secret garden" just beyond the building's private gate house — this easy-to-love home enjoys private storage, and access to the pet-friendly building's river-view roof deck and the well-run building's fitness and laundry rooms. Within a stone's throw are the East River Promenade, Detmold Park, the E/F/M trains, and prime access to every area cultural, dining, and shopping destination -- not to mention the benefits of a very mindful neighborhood association and private security.
Here is one of the best kept secrets in Manhattan: Your well-scaled, river-peek sweetheart...facing a secret garden...on a secret cul-de-sac...just beyond a secret gate...awaits.
