Property Summary
Description
Nestled on the 16th floor of 870 United Nations Plaza, Residence 16D is a beautifully expansive and renovated one-bedroom, one-bathroom home in mint condition, offering captivating views directly into the elegant enclave of Beekman Place, with stunning East River views. Bathed in natural light, the apartment combines sophisticated design with serene living in one of Midtown East's most iconic residential addresses. The chef's kitchen is impeccably appointed with Brazilian granite countertops and backsplash, custom cabinetry, and a striking Waterworks herringbone lava rock floor. Premium stainless-steel appliances complete this refined culinary space, thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and elegant entertaining. The luxurious marble bathroom features fixtures and a custom vanity by La Cava, creating a spa-like retreat. Generous closets throughout the residence are fully outfitted with Elfa systems, providing exceptional storage and organization. Every detail of this home has been carefully curated to deliver both comfort and style. Notably, one-bedroom residences in this building are exceptionally rare, with only a small number in the tower and even fewer that become available. Residence 16D therefore presents a unique opportunity to own a coveted layout. Designed by master architects Harrison & Abramovitz, the 860/870 United Nations Plaza twin towers offer a uniquely luxurious lifestyle and have long attracted notable residents, including Robert F. Kennedy, Truman Capote, Gloria Vanderbilt, Katharine Graham, Yul Brynner, Johnny Carson, Dina Merrill, Anderson Cooper, and Walter Cronkite. Full-time doorman, concierge, fully staffed package room, in-house valet, live-in resident manager, on-site management, and more ensure your wants and needs are met twenty-four hours a day. Top-of-the-line amenities include a newly renovated full-floor health center with a Pilates studio, a fully equipped lounge/party room, a game room complete with a pool table, ping pong and a golf simulator, a library, two conference rooms, two sundecks, generator, a garage and an attached city playground. The longest private driveway in NYC offers complimentary one-to-two-hour parking. Maintenance includes monthly window washing, all utilities and cable/internet. A storage bin transfers with the home. Residence 16D presents a rare opportunity to enjoy refined living with extraordinary river views in one of Manhattan's most distinguished full-service buildings.
