Townhouse in Beekman/Sutton Enclave

Located on a tranquil, tree-lined block ending in Beekman Place, this elegantly proportioned 4 story townhouse is now available for the first time in over 40 years. It measures approximately 19.5 ft in width, and comprises approximately 3,675 sf, plus a 975 sf basement.  The current configuration includes 4 bedrooms, 4 windowed bathrooms, 2 separate kitchens with garden views and 4 fireplaces, each chimneyed to the roof.  The townhouse possesses significant air rights, suggesting that up to 4,125 sf of living area could potentially be added, subject to Department of Buildings approval.  The generously proportioned garden is approximately 49 feet deep and is planted with mature perennials.    

The current configuration will require re-imagining but the scale of the townhouse is comfortable and it still "reads" as a single family home, as opposed to a townhouse divided up into apartments.  The townhouse faces South and looks across to other 4 story townhouses, bathing it in direct sunlight for most of the afternoon.  With its prime location, elegant proportions and the potential to add significant square footage, 413 East 50th represents a compelling opportunity for the next owners to create an exceptional residence.
