29 Beekman Place, New York NY
Presented by
The Corbin Group at Rosewood Realty is pleased to present the opportunity to purchase 29 Beekman Place, a trophy residence currently in Bankruptcy.
The 12,000 square foot palace is located in one of the most charming and historic residential areas in New York City.
The townhouse features an elevator, wine cellar, Central A/C, 8 wood burning fireplaces, 6 master suites, 11 bathrooms and 5 additional rooms which can have any number of uses including offices, maid’s quarters or guest suites.
Situated in the exclusive and prestigious enclave of Beekman Place, the townhouse is walking distance from the United Nations. Spread over eight floors and beautifully proportioned, the property offers open expansive Eastern and Western exposures which gives way to awe-inspiring East River Views and allows for natural sunlight to pour in throughout the day. Designed with grand scale entertaining in mind, the garden level features an astounding 32 foot long commercial grade chef’s kitchen while the second floor showcases a charming reception area just off the foyer and a long entrance gallery that leads to a lovely banquet hall. Comprised of 2 very large, and open living spaces with over 11 foot ceilings, and both eastern and western views, the third floor demonstrates the truly grandiose proportions of this unique residence.
The solarium off the family room transports you to another world and is enclosed by three walls of glass which allow for beaming natural light and endless River Views. In addition there are two private terraces totaling almost 1,500 SF of outdoor space, a true rarity in NYC.
Now that we have seen the mansions traditional décor here are three rooms that have been virtually staged to demonstrate how easy it is to give this home a modern feel. Starting with the living room, let us reimagine it as a more contemporary space. The terrace room, the largest of the six master suites, was previously used as a media room, which could easily be converted to a library. And here is the master suite, upgraded with modern touches. The flexible floor plans lend themselves to a variety of uses, such as adding a gym to the first floor, converting the banquet hall to a lecture hall, living room to a board room, and an expanded area for receptions and cocktail parties.
29 Beekman Place retains an abundance of original architectural details. Dating back to the 1930’s, the townhouse has had only had 3 previous owners. Its size and grandeur make it appropriate for a private mansion, Live/Work, a Foundation, or an ideal consulate/embassy/diplomat residence–with its proximity to the United Nations. This palatial property was built in 1934 as the single largest of 9 mansions along the tranquil and tree lined Beekman Place. This exquisite house has a rich history of its own, having once been the home to the famous William Paley as well as philanthropist Mary Lasker. Do not miss this opportunity to purchase a piece of New York history which is priced to sell quickly.
