This is a wonderful opportunity to own a sprawling 2bedroom/2bathroom home in this historic enclave. Step through the entry foyer into the spacious open living/dining/kitchen area that is perfect for comfortable entertaining. The large living room faces east onto the bucolic tree-lined Beekman Place. The windowed kitchen has expansive counter space. The corner master bedroom faces east and south, easily fits a king size bed and has an en suite bathroom. The bright large second bedroom has corner windows. There is new wood flooring and great closet space throughout and a stacked washer/dryer. Built in 1957, 12 Beekman is an elegant white-glove coop with full-time doorman, live-in super, elevator operator, neighborhood security patrol, storage, a parking garage, and is pet-friendly. Beekman Place is a quiet, tree-lined stretch of old-world charm with easy proximity to mid-town shopping and restaurants, the FDR, Peter Detmold Park (with a dog run!) and the East River Esplanade. 2% flip tax is paid half by buyer, half by seller.
