419 East 50th Street Midtown East Townhouse For Sale

Built circa 1878 and completely reimagined and gut renovated in 1958, this multi-residential mid-century modern townhouse is superbly positioned in the heart of the Beekman-United Nations neighborhood just off the River on Manhattan's East Side on a lovely and quiet residential tree-lined block. The perspective from the front door is that of only beautiful townhomes.

The impressive scale of this house is showcased by its 20-foot width, five stories + cellar, 6,098 gross interior square feet, an extraordinary, landscaped and meticulously maintained garden reaching 32 feet deep, and lovely natural light that massive windows draw in: top-grade steel casement windows on the front with completely floor-to-ceiling in the back. In addition, lush green views are showcased from every window both in the front and back of the house. The front of the building with its Pietra Piasantina stone and steel casement windows was renovated in 2001.

The building is currently divided into 3 well-maintained potential income generating apartments: a 3-4 bedroom, 3.5-bathroom owner's triplex, a one-bedroom duplex, and a two-bedroom duplex each offering unique details such as wood-burning fireplaces, exposed brick, floor-to-ceiling windows, private outdoor space, and high ceilings. There is a security system for the house and central air conditioning throughout except for two through-the-wall units. The house is heated with natural gas and has a circulating hot water heating system, with baseboard cast-iron radiators. There is a washer/dryer in the basement.

The house can be reconfigured as a single-family home or as a live/work home, or a large owner's home with two income-producing units with a low vacancy rate with its proximity to the UN. With a lovely, tranquil, and picturesque location, meticulous details, extraordinary private outdoor space, and well-proportioned and lovely, desirable apartments, this is an incredible opportunity! The house can be delivered fully vacant if desired.
