A little bit country. A little bit Beekman Place. Set in an Emery Roth, Bing & Bing building in Southgate, apartment 8G feels more like a charming cottage than a one-bedroom apartment. The entrance hallway leads through an archway to a proper foyer – the perfect spot to hang your hat or drop your keys. A French door opens to the graciously proportioned living/dining space – complete with built-in bookshelves, storage, decorative fireplace, and a separate wine room. The windowed kitchen has a marble pass-through. The main room has three windows facing east and north. The bedroom can fit a queen or king-size bed, nightstands, bureau(s), and faces east. The apartment is interior facing, however it enjoys lovely light and is extremely quiet. It boasts classic prewar features such as beamed ceilings, traditional moldings, generous closet space, and hardwood floors throughout.

424 East 52nd Street is an impeccably run, full-service building in the Southgate complex – considered Manhattan’s most distinctive residential Art Deco ensemble. The building is pet-friendly, has a beautifully planted common garden, allows pied-a-terres, and sublets. Through-the-wall AC air and washer/dryers are permitted with approval. Electricity is included in the maintenance.
