Timeless Prewar Elegance in the Fabled Southgate
A rare opportunity to own a piece of Manhattan’s architectural history! Designed by renowned architect Emery Roth and built by Bing & Bing in 1931, this gracious two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence at 434 East 52nd Street embodies the enduring elegance and unmistakable charm of classic prewar New York.
Spacious and inviting, Apartment 6AB features two working wood-burning fireplaces-one in the living room and another in the primary bedroom-creating an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication that is increasingly difficult to find. With desirable southern and eastern exposures, natural light streams into the apartment throughout the day, while the second bedroom enjoys a lovely glimpse of the East River.
Located within the celebrated Southgate complex, this distinguished residence offers the convenience of a live-in resident manager, a 24-hour doorman, and a beautiful communal garden-a tranquil, landscaped retreat from the bustle of Manhattan.
An especially appealing feature is the included private storage unit, which transfers with the apartment at no additional monthly cost.
Southgate is a classic New York cooperative, prized for its architectural heritage, gracious living, and peaceful setting.
Please note: A monthly assessment of $450.45 for capital improvements is in place through July 2027. The purchaser is responsible for the 2% flip tax.
A wonderful opportunity to experience the romance of prewar New York, where architectural distinction, gracious proportions, and the timeless appeal of two wood-burning fireplaces come together in one exceptional home.
