Property Description
Welcome to 21 Beekman Place, a rare and expertly restored residence nestled on the northeast corner of a quiet picturesque street in an iconic Midtown East locale. Once owned by the renowned landscape architect Ellen Biddle Shipman, who left an indelible mark on the home's design, it features the lush planting styles and formal gardens she was famous for. Set against the serene backdrop of the East River, this stately home provides breathtaking views from nearly every space, with exposures to the East, West, and South. Its coveted location once attracted legendary American composer Irving Berlin, adding to the area's storied past.
Beaming with character and charm, the home immediately transports you back in time as you enter. It has been thoughtfully updated to preserve its original design, showcasing old-world details elevated with modern upgrades. Antique oak floors laid in a chevron pattern, a grand curved staircase, five wood-burning fireplaces, triple-pane windows, and an elevator all contribute to the home's grandeur. The sophisticated front library, adorned with antique pine paneling, a fireplace, a bay window, and two floor-to-ceiling windows, offers a perfect space for relaxation. The parlor level conservatory, bathed in light from three sides, seamlessly brings the outdoor serenity indoors with its tree-top views.
The residence features a large, updated kitchen with a six-burner LeCornu range, twin SubZero refrigerators, and a center island. The primary bedroom is complete with bay windows, custom closets, and a marble bath, offering a luxurious private retreat. Outside, a high wrought-iron and copper-topped fence surrounds the plantings and facade, adding to the home's elegance. Two terraces and a rooftop garden provide extensive space for al fresco living. Plus, the basement allows for ample storage and the opportunity to renovate into a home gym, office, or more tailored to your needs. This country home, tucked away from the city’s hustle and bustle, is a rare gem on an elegant and timeless Manhattan street.
