Tucked away on this sweet tree-lined cul-de-sac between Beekman & Sutton Place, once known as the Beekman Terrace district. As you enter the exquisitely designed lobby, you will be enveloped in a blend of Gothic & Tudor inspired styles — with its mahogany paneled walls, regal club chairs & books upon the fireplace. This boutique building is serene & secluded, as you arrive at your floor the elevator bay opens up to a large landing. As you open the door to your gracious entry foyer — you will note two sizable closets fitted with the original paneled doors mirrored to reflect the light & artwork. Every “room” is thoughtfully decorated according to form, function & style! You may hang up your coat, drop your keys in the silver bowl & make your way to the living room. This expertly designed studio apartment has Art Deco touches, prewar details & some whimsical flourishes of an English country house. Indeed, there are two paintings of the English countryside flanking the large picture window transporting you to an English sitting room. The red loveseat is centerstage for living the highlife! This is the premier opportunity to entertain a few friends & live it up in style! There’s a place for everything: the dry bar & silver coffee set serve both as side tables & night stands. The coffee table functions as a dining table as well as a great reading table. A brand-new kitchen with new appliances: stove, cute fridge with a retro look, granite countertop & quintessential NYC subway-tile backsplash. While you have a fully functioning kitchen, you can hide it all away as you close the newly installed barn-doors which gives the place the look & feel of a proper living room — perfect for entertaining! There’s a myriad of places to cozy up to & dine, entertain, write, read & relax… There’s a fun & fanciful orange breakfast table — right next to the kitchen, looking out the picture window. There’s the library bookshelf & a writing desk for your new novel betwixt & between the windows & the fireplace! The bed is tucked away against the back wall — taking in the whole of the apartment, the fireplace & the view. The bed is integrated into the living room so that it allows for more seating or should you indulge in an afternoon nap… From every vantage point you are surrounded by beauty & refinement — keep warm by the wood-burning fireplace or cool down with the river breezes coming in through the window! This jewel of place has been renovated & restored, retaining many of the pre-war details with an added modern touch of style & sophistication. Original hardwood floors, high beamed-ceilings, the radiator cover matches the design of the era & yet you have the modern convenience of today with a new through-the-wall A/C. As you go through the double doors you enter another room… The windowed bath even has a view of the river! Luxuriate with a long bath in the deep soaking tub, the original white bath-tile lined with the building’s signature Art Deco blue & green ribbon motif, the geometric floral pattern of the bathroom floor, the large pedestal sink & a new mirrored medicine cabinet with Hollywood dressing room lights above completes the glamourous look! This one-of-a-kind apartment is a rarity — very few studios come up in this sought-after co-op. Designed by noted architects, De Pace & Juster, this distinctive co-op is perfectly situated across from River House, in between Southgate & Greta Garbo’s apartment building. It has a rich & interesting history with many illustrious residents over the years including poet Dorothy Parker, actress Lillian Gish, Henry Luce, publisher of Time & U. S. ambassador, Clare Boothe Luce. Full-time staff including doorman, porters, handyman & an exceptional live-in resident manager provide first-class assistance with a personal touch: groceries, packages, mail & newspapers are hand-delivered directly your door. The building is well-run & immaculate; the shareholders take care & pride in this extraordinary cooperative. A nice furnished outdoor patio. Clean & bright laundry room. Private storage & bike room. Pets are welcome. Co-purchasing, Gifting & Pieds-a-terre allowed. Neighborhood: Peter Detmold Park beloved dog-run featuring the East River Overlook, as many bird-watchers call it.
