444 E 52Nd St

An 11-story, 1929 prewar cooperative on a quiet cul-de-sac in Beekman/ Sutton Place, this intimate Art Deco building contains mostly two-bedroom residences within a 49-unit footprint. Exterior character includes a formal, period lobby and modest setback massing typical of late-1920s Manhattan residential design. Interiors emphasize prewar detailing: beamed and high ceilings, oak or hardwood floors, casement windows, sizable entry foyers, and wood-burning fireplaces in many apartments. Typical unit plans feature formal living/dining rooms, separate eat-in kitchens with windowed layouts and pantry/storage, generous closets including walk-ins, and windowed bathrooms; some homes have soaking tubs and bespoke built-ins. Common areas and building services are full-service and residentially focused: a 24-hour attended doorman, elevator operator, live-in superintendent, laundry room, bicycle room, rentable storage and building-held storage, plus on-site porter/handyman support. The co-op is pet-friendly, permits pied-a-terres and parent gifting in many cases, and allows up to 75% financing subject to board approval. Street-level context is tranquil — no through traffic and close proximity to Peter Detmold Park and the East River promenade — with easy access to nearby transit, groceries and neighborhood retail that supports a quiet, service-oriented urban lifestyle.
