Built in 1927, The Beekman exemplifies the sophistication of Park Avenue living, with amenities including a full-time doorperson, a valet, and weekday maid service. The co-op's elegance is especially apparent in #409, a spacious one-bedroom.

With its marble floor and ceiling rosette, the entrance hall welcomes you and any guests in gracious style. A pair of Tuscan columns separate the entryway from the 22-foot-long living room. Large south-facing windows make both this room and the 18-foot-long bedroom ideal for sun-loving plants and people alike. Equally well suited for entertaining and relaxation, the living room boasts herringbone wood floors, a beamed ceiling, and a real-flame gel-fuel fireplace perfect for creating an alluring glow on winter evenings.

In the kitchen, white cabinets and a full-height glass backsplash complement the high-quality appliances: Gaggenau cooktop, Blomberg refrigerator, Sharp over-the-range microwave, Frigidaire dishwasher. The bathroom is also bright and light, with a window as well as a combination shower-bathtub. A customized walk-in closet and six additional closets throughout the apartment provide a wealth of storage.

As a prewar building, The Beekman was constructed with thick walls that provide exceptional soundproofing. The live-in resident manager and the concierge, along with the doorman, maid service, and window-cleaning service, recall a bygone refinement. At the same time, central air, the well-equipped fitness center with skylight, a meeting space, laundry facilities, and bicycle and storage rooms suit today's lifestyle.

The Italian Renaissance-style building is home not only to 131 apartments but also to the renowned Caf Boulud, from award-winning chef Daniel Boulud. And just a few blocks away are Central Park, Museum Mile, even more restaurants, and world-class shopping, including Bloomingdale's and Bergdorf Goodman.

When you live at The Beekman, the best of Manhattan is at your doorstep. Though given how much of a haven unit 409 is, you might never want to leave it.

Pieds-à-terre, foreign buyers, LLCs, and trusts are permitted with board approval, and subleasing is permitted subject to building rules. Pets are not permitted.
