414 E 52Nd St

Built in 1931 and rising 13 stories, this prewar cooperative occupies a quiet cul-de-sac in Manhattan’s Beekman/Sutton enclave. Designed in the Emory Roth tradition, the masonry façade and restrained ornamentation give the property a classic, early-20th-century residential presence. Apartment types range from junior one-bedrooms to expansive three-bedroom homes and a multi-thousand-square-foot penthouse; many units retain prewar details such as high beamed ceilings, crown moldings, wood-burning fireplaces, oak hardwood floors, and generous built-in storage. Interiors commonly include formal entry foyers, separate dining galleries, windowed kitchens, walk-in closets, and options for den or separate formal dining areas. Common building features reflect full-service living: a 24-hour doorman, resident manager, elevator access, laundry room, bike room, basement storage, and keyed floor access. Grounds are notable for an extensive planted garden and a small children’s play area reached from the building courtyard, plus private outdoor terraces in select units. Practical policies include pied-à-terre permission, pet-friendly rules, allowance for guarantors and family trusts, and case-by-case washer/dryer approvals. Located steps from Midtown dining, transit and shops, the building blends prewar architectural character with full-service cooperative conveniences.
