John Lennon of The Beatles famously lived just above this very apartment during his celebrated Lost Weekend period, and the neighboring enclave of Beekman Place has long drawn the world's elite from John D. Rockefeller to Aristotle Onassis all captivated by its privacy, architecture, and Old New York charm.

The king-sized primary suite offers quiet sophistication with a thoughtfully renovated en-suite bathroom leading to a custom walk-in dressing area. The second bedroom, equally inviting, sits conveniently near the second renovated bath. Throughout the residence, radiators are concealed with bespoke millwork, lending every room a polished, cohesive aesthetic. Set within a full-service doorman cooperative, this home enjoys the privacy and tranquility of the cul-de-sac at East 52nd Street. Southgate's amenities include a private garden, storage facilities, Laundry Room, and 24-hour staff. Additional features: Pied-à-terre, co-purchasing, and guarantors permitted.
