Beckford House is a recently completed 2020 condominium located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The 19-story boutique building contains roughly 20 residences, primarily two-bedroom layouts alongside larger multi-bedroom corner homes. Architecture and interiors reference a prewar European sensibility interpreted through contemporary detailing: hand-laid limestone and custom grey brick in the lobby, ironwork accents, and refined millwork throughout. Residences open from gracious entry foyers into expansive living and dining rooms with rift and quarter-sawn white oak herringbone floors, high ceilings, and generous corner exposures that emphasize tree-lined streetscape views. Kitchens are bespoke Christopher Peacock designs with Statuary marble counters and backsplashes and a top-tier appliance package (Sub-Zero, Wolf, Miele). Primary baths feature custom vanities, Statuary and Statuarietto marble, radiant heated floors, soaking tubs and high-end fittings. Building-level amenities support full-service living: attended lobby with doorman/concierge, an appointed residents’ sitting and reception room with wet bar and fireplace, a comprehensive fitness center with a yoga studio, and a planted roof terrace with outdoor kitchen and seating. Additional conveniences include in-unit washer/dryer, four-pipe HVAC with zoned control, storage, a smoke-free policy, barbecue facilities on the roof deck, and access to supplemental amenities at a nearby Beckford Tower complex. The property’s location on East 81st Street combines residential calm with convenient Upper East Side shops, dining and transit options.
