The spacious primary suite includes a dressing area, abundant closet space, and windowed bathroom. The versatile second bedroom features custom built-ins and an en-suite bath, making it equally suited as a guest bedroom, home office, or library. Additional prewar details-include a welcoming entrance gallery, elegant moldings, graceful, curved walls, and arched doorways which lend warmth, character, and architectural distinction throughout the home. Architectural Woodwork, Furnishings & Windows Custom Louis XV-style cherry wood paneling and cabinetry were handcrafted between 1972-1974 by Serafin Caamano of Budd Woodwork, Inc., Brooklyn, a fifth-generation master craftsman also commissioned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The paneling was hand-waxed and buffed in 1999, preserving its rich patina. Louis XV-style furnishings; which are available for sale, were commissioned from Don Ruseau, Inc. and acquired in 1974. Established in 1937, the firm was known for refined French Louis XV reproductions in French walnut, distinguished by hand-carved detailing and elegant proportions. In December 2018, windows were replaced by Skyline Windows with Series 100 AAMA DH-AW-50 double-hung units featuring thermally broken frames, tilt-in operation, triple weather-stripping, Ultra-Lift balances, and 1-inch Low-E argon-filled insulated glass, finished in white interiors and dark bronze exteriors. Bedroom and living room windows include laminated safety glass for enhanced sound attenuation and security, with Marvin primed pine interiors and aluminum exterior glazing beads preserving the original configuration. Scope included the bedroom, library, living room, and both bathrooms; kitchen windows were previously replaced as part of a building-wide upgrade. 30 Beekman Place is a distinguished full-service prewar cooperative offering 24-hour doorman service, an exceptional resident manager, a newly renovated lobby restored to its original grandeur, a fully equipped windowed fitness center with a Peloton bike, central laundry facilities, and private storage. The pet-friendly building also permits pieds-à-terre and now allows up to 75% financing. Nestled in the tranquil Beekman Place enclave, residents enjoy a rare combination of privacy, serenity, and beautiful East River views while remaining moments from Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, acclaimed restaurants, convenient transportation, neighborhood dog parks, and the East River Esplanade.
