GREAT STUFF

The residence offers breathtaking views of the East River in addition to its rich history and its coveted address.

The "steel-framed cage of balconies" frames the skyline.

The current owners employed architects Jared Della Valle and Andrew Bernheimer to update the penthouse in a manner consistent with Rudolph's original vision. Their work on 23 Beekman was awarded by the American Institute of Architecture.

The bright and airy penthouse consists of approximately 4,000 square feet which includes three bedrooms and three bathrooms.

The chef's kitchen includes a Gaggenau six-burner stove, a Bosch dishwasher, and two Subzero refrigerators.

23 Beekman has been featured in fashion shoots, TV shows, and movies—including a memorable fire drill scene from director Wes Anderson's 2001 cult favorite, "The Royal Tenenbaums."

One of the highlights is the sleek, wood-burning fireplace.

The five floors beneath the penthouse comprise three private residences, each of which retains the hallmarks of Rudolph's signature style.

With four levels and five private terraces, the penthouse cantilevers over Beekman Place in Manhattan.

The kitchen is well-equipped with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances.

An open-plan living/dining/kitchen area takes full advantage of the ample light from multiple floor-to-ceiling windows.

Privacy hedges surround the property, which is flanked by two streets.

Automated curtains run the length of two sides of the master bedroom, top left.

The home's large windows offer expansive views of downtown Los Angeles.

Close to the street, the entrance is protected from prying eyes by angular walls and plenty of foliage.
