Welcome to Residence 14J at 400 East 52nd Street, a sun-filled one-bedroom plus home office (or guest space/den), one-and-a-half-bath residence with a private terrace in Manhattan's desirable Beekman neighborhood. Thoughtfully renovated, the home blends pre-war charm, modern upgrades, and an open yet versatile layout, encompassing loft-like features with thoughtfully designed elements that create separation, giving each room its own defined space within the home. The expansive, south-facing living and dining area unfolds with an effortless sense of openness, seamlessly integrated with a beautifully designed open kitchen. Bathed in natural light from oversized windows, the space carries a penthouse-like quality-bright, airy, and quietly elevated throughout the day. Just off the dining area, the chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry, a patterned tile backsplash, a Miele gas range, and a large island with bar seating, designed as much for gathering as for everyday living. The primary bedroom is serene and well-proportioned, easily accommodating a king-sized bed and complemented by generous closet space. The corner positioning of the bedrooms introduces soft southern and eastern light, accompanied by subtle water views that lend a calm, almost retreat-like quality to the home. The second room offers flexibility as a guest room, den, or home office, adapting effortlessly to your needs. Both bathrooms have been tastefully updated, with the full bath offering a soaking tub and glass-enclosed shower, while the powder room is finished with chic designer wallpaper. Additional highlights include an in-unit washer/dryer, ample storage throughout, and a defined foyer that creates a graceful sense of arrival. Step outside to your private terrace and take in sweeping skyline and river views-an ideal setting for morning coffee as the city wakes, or quiet evenings above it all. 400 East 52nd Street is a full-service, Emery Roth-designed cooperative offering a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, laundry, bike storage, and private storage. Ideally positioned near Sutton Place parks, the East River Esplanade, fine dining, and convenient transportation, Residence 14J offers a refined balance of elegance, comfort, and everyday livability in Midtown East. 2% flip tax paid by the seller.
